#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

using Holy is fine.. if you have the time. hard to use it if the tanks HP is disappearing faster than ice cream at a kiddie party and they arent using mitigation. rather try keeping the tank up in that case, if I have time, sure, use a stun, heal the tank, but if they are undergeared and using no mits... the time it takes to stun, you'll lose the tank most of the time

Hit the first holy with a swiftcast then continue to stunlock the mobs, easy peasy. Then use your OGCDs as needed after that.

Aside from Aurum Vale, I have often times placed a Regen on the tank while they pull with the HoT no longer drawing stray enemy hate. Works pretty well to slowly get the tank back up to full while the enemies are stunned to death. I have Afflatus spells and Tetragrammaton ready too in case a stray mini tank buster is thrown out in between stuns.

My apologies for not noticing this.. HoTs no longer pull aggro? that would change things a fair bit. I am so used to that I never noticed if they didnt because I try and time regens to end before the next pull because I hated getting mobbed while the tank ran past them lol.

Looking up the patch, 6.2, "HP restoration over time will no longer generate enmity with each tick of healing." I think all the enmity for HoTs is frontloaded to the initial cast.

Rather than frontloaded, it's an artificial enmity that happens when you apply some buff not unlike when you use Peloton from outside combat to your battling ally, which also puts you into a combat state because of said artificial enmity.

It's cus this thread has actual interesting discussions about the game design, when the rest of the general threads is complaining about drama outside of the game design.

They may have to close it down at some point, there were some several year old threads about duty finder experiences and for posting pictures of characters that got big enough that they started stressing out the backend stuff on the forums.

But people can always make a new thread when that happens.

It'd be nice to max out a thread about how bad healers are right now... but you know.... 2 would be even better lol

For me,the healer are not that bad.
It's the fact that Tanks are actually OP that make the whole system imbalanced and put healer in a position off being, in a lot of case, almost useless.

I never cared about Healer DPS skills, because for me thoses skills were only there to kill mobs in solo, while doing your quests.

For me, in group, a Healer job is to heal and buff and then DPS when they have time.

When i see people complaining about Healer DPS Kit, i just think that they bark at the wrong tree.... They should be complaining at the fact they have less and less healing to do because of the imbalance caused by Tanks being OP and that they have lost all their buff except for some Mit based one.(making Tanks ever more OP)

The actual system need almost a whole rework to make Healer revelant again.
