Conjurer help please

[Risvertasashi]

Hi, I am currently still a fairly low level conjurer. I am level 16 and am able to travel now but that also means raids/dungeons. I had my first last night and I found myself only concentrating on the hp bars of my party. I have a feeling I am doing something wrong? I feel I will mess up bad if I go from party member to enemy to do some damage and someone will need to be healed and i wont be able to switch back fast enough haha. Is this normal when new? And how do I get practice without pissing people off by trying all this out?

Firstly, welcome to the healing role. You're doing nothing wrong by staring at the party bars. The trick, when you get to endgame, is to keep track of those bars while also dodging and handling mechanics. Tunnel vision is a very real problem for healers. But if you just want to stick to dungeons or such, you don't even need to worry about that.

I've moved my party window closer to the center and, as others have mentioned, I've too found <tt> macros to be of great help. Good luck!

I find this helps alot, don't be afraid to play around with the UI editor (even though its a little unintuitive at first!) you can even resize your party bar and place it closer to the middle, so that you can still see that bars but it isn't obscuring your view!

Wow, thank you all so much for this very helpful information. A few of you have mentioned macros. I no this is going to sound so new lol.. but I have no clue what that really is. Also, I am using ps3 and ps4 not a computer. If that matters at all.

You can also try using a mouse over macro.

Wont work, just to say it XD

In general nothing wrong to focus HP bar till you used to dungeon gameplay itself and the dungeon (you'll notice when big damage incoming and when less to squeeze in ur dmg skills).
Macros are in your menu I use PS4 iirc options on controller -> very right dropdown menu -> User macros
There you will find some examples of macros that are mostly useless tho :P
At all a macro makes you able to use certain skills in combination or like others recommended you can heal your tank dps and without switching target put your dps skill on the mob.

I know I am bad at explaining it.... but best is to try out n find/invent your own macros. The text commands are summoned up here HF with it

Actually it can work on PS3/PS4 If they use, or ever do at some point, a mouse and keybord. As PS3/PS4 can use a mouse and keyboard.

IMHO healing on ps3/4 sucks. The targeting system (soft targeting, d-pad, hotbar activation) for party members is akward. Workarounds exist, and Id be happy to show you, if interested. example: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VR2_qJLZ1sg

I find party members to be the easiest to target by controller, as they're always available in a clear and predictable order with just the up/down buttons to scroll through the party list. The difficulty comes in targeting enemies you haven't aggroed yet, which is more of an issue for tanks and damage dealers (though it includes anyone when they're soloing).
