It's Time.

Healing with my white mage, I enjoyed the dungeons a lot more than I did in 2.0. Still I enjoy healing in The Vault. To me it was a perfect dungeon.

Everyone at some point did something that caused me to heal or do things that were a bit out of the norm, and those things sort of kept with me in other dungeons.

For example the first boss, I would stoneskin and regen when a person was targeted by his single attack.

Yes it might have been overkill but for me it worked, I was able to keep them alive and go back to throwing stones.

Second boss, someone always either got shoved into those orbs on the side or didn't pull the orb AoE away from where the tank was so they had to re-position.

Final boss, people stood in the flames, didn't run away from each other on chains, DPS was slow on orbs.

I had to heal, had to. That was a dungeon that iLV made a difference every time I ran it. You can say "I was in Ironworks and I did just fine" you may have cleared it but doing this from DPS / Healer and now a Tank perspective, you dragged things down and it was noticeable by someone.

More dungeons like that where we've had to make people use combos (yes had to teach someone more about their combos) or someone left because they were low on ilv / wrong gear or even just earing that spiritbond ring at that level..wasn't acceptable as much as it was in other dungeons. It was a pain, you would die, people would get upset..yet it was fun as can be as a healer for me.

And gorgeous! I'd look over at the sunset and just think "Wow..so...pretty!" then I'd see the macro "Hallowed Ground: Just used it!" then snapping back into reality saying "Oh f^#k!" then...heal my pt... lol

WHM
Healing: Loved the balance of Assize and the pop heal Tetragrammaton. In terms of what was lacking from 2.0 this felt smooth and I loved it because I could be more reactionary


DPSing: Throw a stone skin on the Tank. He jumps in and grabs aggro as I pop divine seal give'em 2 regens and go straight in with speed casting(PoM) holy, ending with Assize to DPS spike and mana boost. Then drop agro with Shroud and swap back to heal, instant tetra the tank as the regens fall off and he gets close to 50% or so. Rinse repeat enjoy.
Some variation of the above depending on the situation always made me feel like a boss!

I loved being a green deeps. It was entertaining watching people rage at wiping for not dodging avoidable stuff.

As much as this will make sound like an elitist prick - I enjoyed being a better DPS and healer combined than most healer or DPS separately >>;

So did I~

This here is why no one takes you seriously.

There is no point in even trying to make a point about how ridiculous you look.

I loved all the changes and additions to both SCH and BLM that added to their complexity and, in my personal opinion, made both those jobs much more fun to play

I agree 100%.

The melee classes were some of the best I've played in any tab-target MMO.

WHM: I loved the pure unadulterated healing power. I loved the feeling that in new content, everyone including me as the healer was allowed to make a mistake because the raw power of WHM spells made up for mistakes of all sizes. Getting to use Cure III or Benediction. Swiftcast+Stoneskin II every chance possible.

AST: The buffs of course. Being able to help the party's dps, restore MP and TP, and the choice of shields or regens which make AST so versatile. I loved Essential Dignity and it's loww cooldown. And Gravity. And Bole+Nocturnal (+TD+CO+WoF) for when your tank doesn't use his cooldowns.

SCH: The challenge -- as I feel SCH is the hardest healer to use. I loved seeing that Crit Adlo and spreading it with Deployment Tactics (I prefer spreading that over E4E honestly.) I loved how much DPS the SCH can get out even while healing with Miasma, Miasma II, Bio, Bio II, Aero and Shadowflare all up. And 9 Lustrate a in a row. Yes, please.

Healing in general: The non DPS queues. The stress-free-ness of not having as important a DPS rotations since everyone is so bent on numbers these days. The commendations because people notice the effort you put into it. When you have to use that LB3 to save the day. When you Raise 10 people in 2 minutes because the fight was just that intense, because we're undergeared, because we don't know the mechanics, because we're filthy casuals. Healing Zurvan. I don't know why. Don't judge me.

You lost me at healing Zurvan

You are sick. Medical attention is on its way.
