Revelations from Patch 5.5 (Part 2)

MSQ musings

I had been considering leveling a healer so I could hang with Giott, but that stint as Urianger has left me with newfound respect, awe even, for everyone who plays one. Never realized before how crazy it can get trying to keep yourself plus everybody else alive.

Oh, and if Venat can come talk at me, then surely she can say something a little more helpful than a reminder that everyone dies if I flub this. I really hope she tells me more about why/how she chooses people and why/how she’s been growing weaker. I also continue to hope she or somebody else finishes Zenos so I don’t have to.

Yeah, as a Healer main (SCH), I felt the Urianger section to be a relaxing break from the fumbling of the Alisaie and G'raha DPS sections. The only problems I had playing Urianger was that I generally have my own instincts and habits for where certain abilities and spells are on my hotbar, and I kept messing up the keys due to being too used to my personal setup. But keeping everyone alive and doing DPS was pretty smooth.

Conversely, I'm certain I'd be in the lowest percentile of DPS if such a thing was done for the G'raha Black Mage segment. So much panic, focusing too much on mechanics to press buttons to DPS.

I think it's fun to share the different experiences everyone has to these segments, and see the different viewpoints.
