Can healers please get more credit for raising people in Eureka?

[Mikki]

Then don't? You know what you signed up for.

I love being a healer. I love raising people and helping others out. I don't mind that it's difficult. I just hate that I feel like I have to choose between helping others (what I am inclined to do as it is the reason I love being a healer) and considering my own goals. You don't need to be sassy, sir.

Anyway, to everyone else: It isn't as if I never get gold so I do get that it's not super pressing. But if you don't have a full party it can definitely be a bit difficult and I feel like a jerk if I leave a party simply because the leader isn't adding more people to it even if I nudge them to do so or if I ask for lead and they ignore me.... but maybe that's just me.

Just wish that raising could contribute as much as healing does. But in some fights I barely have much time to heal because I am literally 24/7 raising people. :I Can you say "sneks"?

Granted, I've only done Eureka for 2 days for a few hours each day. Maybe I've been super unlucky.

This.

Toss out your Medica 2's and Regens or heal bomb people and you're probably going to be contributing more to a gold emblem than most DPS are. (Although you generate less... None at all? For Overhealing.)

Overhearing generates double the enmity compared to heals that aren't overheals, iirc.

I would rather we just nix the idea of credit all together. Let's be honest, the current system doesn't stop you from leeching at all. Throw out a medica 2 or do a tank combo and you're set.

I'd prefer things like hunts and FATEs be more friendly to players. I don't think I'm along in hating when I'm 20 minutes into a 30 minute queue and losing my progress because an S rank spawned.

Overhealing absolutely continues to generate enmity. This is why you don’t regen tanks before pulls etc

[Derio]

You need to have the meta. To where all party members except the tank can raise.

No.

Healing generates precisely 1.5x the amount of HP restored in enmity. This is true regardless of whether any portion/none/all of that healing is overhealing.

That being said, rezzes don't help you get credit on the boss. You can tag with an aero/etc and do nothing else and get gold, but this is because the rest of the group did the heavy lifting on getting credit. Which is fine if you've got a full group of 8 players. But if you're a smaller group of say 3 or 4, getting gold credit can be a fair bit of work. And rezzing, especially non party members who won't be building group contribution, doesn't contribute to that.

Yeah, this is basically what I'm finding. I don't really have issues in a full party of 8 but in smaller groups it's a really big problem. And somehow I always end up in these small groups where it feels like the leader gets lazy and doesn't want to add more people... and sometimes they ignore if you ask for leader too - but I also don't really want to be the leader since I don't know what I'm doing in Eureka yet and don't want to be the shot caller so I just kind of sit there like "Well then..."

But it just feels like... raising people is such a huge contribution here. I feel like credit should be adjusted to account for this... But I dunno, this is just my "it's 6am and I haven't slept yet" ranting. It's not like it's the hugest deal in the world but it would be nice, you know?

I don't think it's a bad idea or anything.

But I do have a workaround for you in the meantime: If your group is close enough, spam cure 3. If it's not, medica 2 to keep the HoT up, and spam some medicas. Use benediction, tetragrammaton, and so on even if no one needs. On rezzing people... Toss out a medica 2 (ideally boosted with largesse), pop off assize, asylum, benediction, and tetragrammaton, and some regens. Then start rezzing. Between rezzing, refresh medica 2 and the regen and just throw out whatever instants you have available again.

It's a bit annoying but it should hopefully help you ensure you and your party get full credit.

I get more salty when after everything's over, everyone yells "thanks RDMs!" even though I busted my ass on WHM rezzing/healing as well QQ

[Anarnee]

Lmao, I've noticed in Eureka the problem with healers is they are too busy rezzing instead of keeping people alive, so all they end up doing is rezzing.
