I Love Healing But Have Bad Habits

[Tridus]

I tend to forget about my DoTs when healing bigger groups, especially in stuff like Rabanastre. It's been a hard problem to solve because it's pretty easy for me (as a former WoW raid guild healing leader) to tunnel on what the hell alliance B is doing and if they need healing help instead of on the fact that there's no healing required in my alliance so maybe I should stick a DoT back up.

Well, Tridus, I would not necessarily call that a bad habit.

my habit is good but also bad in a way i guess.

i dont like seeing anyone in my party fall below 70% of their max hp, every time, doesn't matter if iam dying or inside aoe, i just instinctively heal them.

on one hand my guild and other compliment me a lot for this "safe healer" style, on other hand this habit give me a lot of trouble on 8 man party because i tend to heal everyone and because of that my heal often overlapping with the 2nd healer.

It's good and bad. It does mean I'm aware pretty quickly when another alliance needs help, but it also distracts from what I could be doing (hi dots!).

spamming keys. I've picked up this habit to mostly compensate for the lag, especially in other games like Ragnarok Online or multiplayers, and at times I know I tend to overheal or double-cast here. I'm now mainly using a controller but I can't shake it off :P

Without question it's tunnel vision.

In casual content, this is especially true with an over-geared tank. I get so used to keeping them up with regen, that when heals are actually needed, I'm totally zoned into the mobs. I know every healer is guilty of this at one point or another, which helps me feel better about it

In harder content, it happens when an elimination mechanic is present in a fight I am still learning. I become so focused on not getting eliminated from the fight that I am not tuned into everything else that is happening on the field. That's not the biggest problem though. The biggest problem is I STILL fail the mechanic despite tunneling in on it. I am simply thinking about it too much, instead of just performing like I do in familiar content.

Sometimes I tunnel. I need high deeps yo!

Other than that? I might be too stingy with my Cures. I never use Cure, only Cure II.

Hm the tank has surprisingly low hp
I wonder what the healer is doing

i just remember, as range class i tend to get close to melee range despite being range.

shooting arrow pointblank mean 100% accuracy right? =P

Me too! I suppose it's because I feel I need to be close to my tank.
