It's past time, Yoshi-P...

Sry but i have no idea what you talking about, i never had a single run where i didnt need to do anything. Like i said above, the biggest breake i had from time to time where like 3-5 seconds. Doing nothing looks a bit else to me sry. Btw. if a RDM would spam Vercure all the time he would be oom in under 2 minutes.

A PLD using Hallowed Ground cannot receive damage for 10 seconds.
If a tank does baby pulls while using some cooldowns, a single Regen of 21s duration is enough.
In a lot of low level dungeons, the fairy of a SCH is enough to completly heal any damage received during the whole dungeon.

Your "3-5 seconds of downtime" is a complete lie. People already made several videos of them doing nothing but healing through a dungeon to show how much downtime there is and how few healing spells you actually need to cast.
Your argument is old and has already been debunked more than once.


Edit: I'm realizing... How can you handle a "pure healer" playstyle from other games when you already find FFXIV's healing "challenging" enough? If FFXIV switched to a gameplay where you'd need to be healing 100% of the time, you will get completly overwhelmed. I hope that you are aware that your dream as "princess healers" will actually be your own doom.

Seems like you enjoy to making your opinion absolute. Whatever like i said i never encountered that what you describe, ok maybe it could be sometimes 5-7 seconds who knows i never stoped that time but it whas never long. Also i dont play scholar i simply dont like that class, the time one tank start with babypulls is maybe 1 of 10 ( or 1 o 9 whatever). Usually the tanks i have pull 2 groups at once, sometimes even 3 and if a tank realy starts with babypulls i tell him to pick 2 groups at once. I dont know what with what groups u usually play but i didnt have the time so far to just stand around and enjoying the view.

You really just need to stop while you're ahead. You clearly don't understand how the healer in FFXIV functions, If you are really spending close to your entire time healing like you claim you are either healing people that are full hp aka overhealing or you have a extremely high hp healing threshold where you are constantly healing people even if they take a sliver of damage. You use the excuse that you would go oom constantly if you were to start doing damage, the only reason you could possibly be oom is because you have a extremely high healing threshold, therefore completely wasting your mana by using massive heals on your party when it's not needed resulting in incredibly high overheals aka completely wasting your mana. You are literally gimping yourself and your healing by doing this. There is no reason to constantly top people off at high thresholds, an efficient healer understands how scripted and predictable damage works and understands there is no reason to waste your mana on heals when healing is not needed.


It really sounds like your new to healing and need practice, because if you are indeed going oom just healing, I know for a fact that your healing threshold is at least over 70%. You need to do some research on how scripted and predictable damage works in this game, what separates the good healers from the bad healers is the hp threshold and understanding that just because someone takes damage doesn't mean they immediately need healed, they aren't going to take a 90% hp crit to the face randomly, everything is predictable and you know when the damage is going to go out and for how much.


I leveled a scholar from 1-70 before the mp adjustments, a job that was notorious for having mana issues due to high mp costs and i never, not once went oom during any content due to me using mana for my damaging spells, not once. That means there is absolutely zero reason you are unable to pump out damage, you are just unwilling to because you have this stubborn, set in your ways mind-set that you don't need to heal and that you are efficiently fulfilling your role, when you aren't. This mentality and play style isn't going to do you any favors in the long run. I'd be more then happy to recommend to you some excellent healing guides on how to play your role more efficiently and optimally, but that's only if you are willing to learn and understand that the pure healer mind-set isn't going to get you far and that adjustments need to be made if you plan on doing any type of end-game content. Cheers.
