Skills/spells you see no reason to use since you got to 60?

Eye for an eye, dissipation, deployment tactics, sustain, miasma 2 lol!!!

eye for an eye, deployment tactics, what just what you're a bad healer those are good damage reduction skills, sustain, so you'd rather your fairy waste heals on itself instead of healing someone in the party who took damage, miasma two is good for groups of mobs

Seriously? Not a single person is going to call out OP for clearly having an awful rotation and playing BLM wrong?

Looks like you're the one. Would you care to explain why? Because as it stands, you've got an awful attitude and using the forum wrong.

It's because Thunder is the prefer choice in the rotation or Thunder II depending on your spell speed. It has a shorter cast time mainly, but Thunder III is too long and cost quite a bit of mp. It matters even more now because of juggling enochian.

The galvanizes made from deployment tactics almost always run out before they even become useful, eye for an eye is 20 chance for it to work and when it does work its only 10% not 20% or 30%. and miasma 2 is something i don't even use anymore. I used it doing on the leveling but not anymore.

I know I'm not the best but I'm not a bad healer.

Thanks for the response.

I suppose it's because I've only got my BLM to 60 last week. I've done like 3 Neverreap runs on my BLM only, with my accessories still only 160. So I don't even have a rotation to speak of and I have almost no meaningful sample against which to compare my performance, as all the bosses in Neverreap require a lot of movement with phase changes. I do plan to do dummy parses on my BLM once I get my Law accessories, though, as that seems to be the most commonly used set of gear when people share parse results.

You are supposed to use Deployment Tactics for Ultimates, Raid-wide AOE, unavoidable stuff like the Bismarck Carapace damage, etc. You are not supposed to just randomly put it out and hope the people that are not supposed to get hit, will get hit.

And Eye for an Eye has a VERY high chance to proc, it lasts 30 seconds and has a 20% chance to proc, if the target gets hit more than 5 times during these 30s, it's pretty much guaranteed. And 10% is pretty big when the enemy has some hard hitting, common attacks.

SCH: Dissipation. Like seriously, you really hate SCHs, don't you? ; ;

sch: dissipation

Dissipation.

You know it's really handy in your opener right?

You do your usuall opener, blow all your Aetherflow stacks on Energy Drains, make sure Fey Wind is up, use Dissipation and gain another three Energy Drains, if you Swiftcast your Shadow Flare after your first Bio your Swiftcast should come back around with being able to re-summon your pet. Your White Mage/Astro should be able to solo heal during this time on most fights, so the loss of a fairy Isn't bad, the timings will change with fights that have multiple mobs such as A2 though.

Also out of mana? No Aetherflow? Blow up your pet! It is a really handy oh shit skill, I guess people just haven't learnt how to use it yet.

Dissipation, on the other hand, I tried to use it once out of you know trying to use it and see how it works, not Worth it, that is probably THE most useless skill they could give us. You gain some more Healing power but the loss in mana to call back your fairy once CD is over and the risk involved depending the fight you are having is kind of not somethign I would take again.

Energy Drain's gives a bigger return of mana than what it costs to summon your fairy, you use your new Aetherflow stacks on these as Lustrates are unaffected by the buff from Dissipation.

SCH: Emergency Tactics - I really don't see a situation where a shield is worth less than pure HP.

It's just an oh shit button really, although it's really handy in A2 Savage if your Tank's hp drops while he has Prey, or if a big hit lands with poor mitigation. I try to let my White Mage handle the big healing but sometimes he needs a hand.

As for my SCH...Ruin and Ruin II seem useless atm with broil.

Ruin is only good for low level, but Ruin II is good when you are using Energy Dain's, Swiftcasting or popping Aetherflow. Broil uses a whole GCD, Ruin II is instant so you can weave spells without disrupting your GCD. Broil when not weaving Ruin II when weaving.

Please never heal again....

Healing is my main job/class since i started playing in march 28, 2014. I won't stop healing! It's what i like to do in mmos.

And you still haven't learnt what Eye for an Eye does?

Why so obsessed with weaving?
Broil is 170 potency. Ruin is 80 potency. How much time are you gaining by weaving a non GCD skill/spell or buff? At most like 0.5 seconds. That's 1/5 time of an entire 2.5 seconds cast. Let's assume for a moment though, that weaving a non GCD skill/spell or buff saves you an entire second, you are still not even saving the time of half of a cast. Why on earth would you prioritize doing an 80 potency spell in 1.5/2 seconds over a 170 potency one in 2.5 seconds?
