So this is PvP now?

[Keramory]

I'm a whm... and nothing is more boring then PvP Whm

Stone is my only attack. I have no aoe spells anymore (holy/medica/aero iii are out).

I have assize, cure, stone, and two near useless single target reduction abilities.

I'd rather be a Sam hopelessly trying to chase brds around

Whm toolkit is actually the best one out of the 3 healers at the current state, nearly useless skills not at all, stonekin mitigates and divine benison is a shield, both have no mp cost and a decent whm use these 2 skills wisely, theyre not panic buttons.

How can you think Divine Benison and Protect are useless at all?

Maybe just me being salty...but until they change how melees can reliably build resources without being gunned down to death, this game's pvp is at best a side distraction. Range jobs in 4.0 has no cast time, no distance penalty, etc, while melees (esp. NIN) have a bunch of skills locked behind resources that can only be built when engaged in melee. Idk, give them a way to build chakra/ninki/etc on the spot at a cost of tp/mp.

@Keramory, you're playing one of the best healing jobs in the game right now, the only reason the other two healers exist is because SCH has broil :P

SNIP.

IDK about Nin, but I haven't had problems getting resources as SAM or regenning TP (don't forget to trait it if this is an issue for you or you don't have an AST in your team to feed you spires); if you tunnel vision then you're probably going to get smoked. 8s is a mess, you have maybe a few seconds to burst something then you need to find a healer to hug. Better off just peeling or hitting over-extended melee.

damn

Exactly. Don't you think that an entire role being pigeonholed into one single game mode is a rather poor design?

[jlewiss]

It's not nearly as fun to heal as a SCH anymore. I feel their was so many options for different ways I could heal and keep the party alive depending on the situation like rouse+whispering dawn+attunement but now it's pretty boring it's pretty much just 1 button over and over

The melee role here functions the same in other MMOs, if you facesmash into people you're probably going to die. Concept works the same on shatter, hit people that are on your side of the ice, don't venture over to the other side and start trying to rush healers. The same way a caster should be at max range to deal with their over-extended melee.

This triggers me. Melee and tanks overextend all the time but there is nothing I can do about it because I can't talk to them to tell them to fall back. I try to keep everyone alive but jokers who keep running chin first into the fray trying to attack their healers every 60 seconds almost get me killed because I get pulled too close to enemy lines just trying to heal them. Once I start getting attacked, I just let them die and the whole team suffers.

Please melee stop doing this. I don't care how badass you think you are, you will never solo the other sides healer.
