post-Dawntrail even story dungeons are harder and more punishing to heal than ever

[Jinglypockets]

i'm fully capable of muting my microphone, i'm not going to talk over a party leader in the middle of pulls, conversation can wait until after the raid winds down.

Oh, so you just ignore them and then tell them about your Phlegma overcapping after you finish causing the wipe?

[Naryoril]

Alright, I'll be nice and take it that you're not trolling. Get the mechanics down, then worry about DPS/overcap/movement efficiency. You can't do anything dead, so just focus on staying alive and overheal if you need to.

I repeat, do NOT worry about efficiency in dungeons, most of the players don't care if you aren't dps-ing much in a dungeon. Better players can and will cover your healer DPS.

Also I just noticed but almost everyone commenting is in EU/US, is this like, a thing over there? The JP side doesn't seem to have this issue and everyone just encourages you even if you die/wipe?

No, it isn't a thing on EU or US Servers either. Of course, there are some black sheep, but that's the case everywhere. I remember, way back when in ARR, and FC member insulted me and left the duty after i died twice at the demon wall boss on my first run. Let's just say, the FC leadership didn't take well to that and he only lasted a short while longer in the FC.

Generally, people are very helpful and understanding, even more so in new content.

no, i'm only going to defend myself if someone else makes a big deal out of my performance first, and this group had a big rule about not bullying people because it was about helping people.

If you don’t want people to think you are a troll then you need to provide some justification for why you won’t heed any of our advice

1) I’m standing far away because I’m a healer
2) don’t do that stand close
3) but what if I get cleaved
4) you won’t get cleaved there is no cleaved in this fight
5) but I just don’t know I’m going to stay in narnia just to be sure

If you won’t accept our advice and act like we are working off some ulterior motive to trick you why did you even make this thread

As does every group I've ever been in, but your attitude toward helpful people is to avoid being helped. How did it go over when you chose Phlegma uptime over boss mechanics and wiped them repeatedly and you made excuses instead of accepting help?

I'm having a lot of fun arguing with this persona you've created. Genuinely impressed with your commitment to the bit.

[Jinglypockets]

The fatal flaw here is that any player who would rather spend days wiping to an easy dungeon boss than sacrifice Phlegma uptime couldn't possibly have killed any Savage boss.

I'm not even sure you could kill unsynced savages with this attitude.

This person you've created can't possibly exist.

plus, given how much i've jsut been stressed out and upset by this whole com,versation, i don't think i'm gonna be able to concentrate, turning the recording on is just going to make me play even worse and embarass myself more, if that makes sense... i didn't realize until people left all the nasty comments that posting the video the first time was a mistake... especially sicne this whole mess has me so upset and anxious. I get jsut an anxious when an actual group yelled at me in one of the vote abandons, or when pf groups yelled at me when i was trying to clear stuff at the tail-end of endwalker.

Alright fair enough. I just watched your video again and here is your recipe for success.

1. Go into Character Configuration -> Control Settings -> Character -> Battle Effect Settings and turn Party/Other to Limited or Off. This is so you can clearly see his arm being raised which I noticed was covered by some spell effects at one point.

2. When the two poison blobs appear stop everything you're doing and focus on dodging the AOEs. Your NPC allies will be fine. Stand toward the center of the room and look directly at his arms. As soon as you see one raise, run to the opposite side. As soon as the AOEs go off, move back to the middle of the room and watch his arms again. Again, do not cast anything while you're learning this part. Do not run in the path of the two original poison puddles, stand either behind or in front of them.

Do not worry about your damage. You're in a trust so nobody is there to judge how much damage you're doing or your uptime. Focus on dodging mechanics. Once you have them down and you're comfortable with them, you can start doing damage again. Don't forget that you have Sprint and Ikarus as well if you're a little slow.

3. This isn't absolutely necessary right now since you shouldn't be casting anything while learning how to move, but I recommend you rebind your keys so you're not clicking everything. I don't have an MMO mouse either. You don't need one to bind everything. You have 1-6 bound, but you can also use SHIFT + 1-6 and CTRL + 1-6. That's another 12 abilities you can have bound. Also, you can rebind the keys around WASD. I use FXR as well as the buttons on my regular G Pro mouse, plus variations with +SHIFT.

Give those things a shot and see if they help.

because unless there's a clear reason to mvoe where the melees and tank are, isn't it taking a huge risk, especially if you don't know a fight's mechanics fully yet?

Plus it's only common sense to use as much of your range as you can get away with.... or so i would think....

"unless there's a clear reason" You're looking at one right now lmao

if what you're saying were true, how do you think melees stay alive?

melees have more hp than healers and casters do, and don't melees specifically have role actions or job abilities that help them move around or stay alive that close to a boss?

it exists enough for a stalker to gloat on the comments of that youtube video about stalking me and making fun of my bad performance and how many wipes it took my learning group to help me get what few clears i got...
