WHY does SE insist on making this game so unforgiving?

[Kayokane]

It's rediculous. I mean, I'm a WHM. I cant possibly heal any faster, cant regen for any more than it already gives.

instead of healing faster you should be concerned with Healing more, keep the tank targeted if he drops below ~70-80% Cura... Cura not up? Cure > Cura they don't share a recast timer anymore. regen is just for convenience and doesn't have to be up. (Heal Magic Potency + and Enhancement Magic Potancy + are good to have on your gear as said previously, by another poster)

ONE minor, microscopic screwup, and it's a wipe,

yes, sometimes it happens... and it may not even be a screw up either... dang lag in primal battles

one person dies for five seconds, its a wipe.

No, No, No, I have had a few battles where the only two standing were whm and pld tank, and everyone else was dead... Iffy reset because both had died earlier but been raised, and we raised and basically restarted without having to worry about hellfire anymore.

The NMs in said battles (ifrit, Garuda, Moogle) do such insane damage its retarded. Its not like we have thousands upon thousands of HP.

actually most attacks only need 2000+ HP to survive.

The DMG is just way too high, and its ONLY LEVEL 50.

Ifrit Hellfire(4 Nails): 9999HP means KILL NAILS at least 2 but all preferably if you can
all other attacks can be dodged(plumes, eruption) or eaten(Vulcan Burst, Incinerate[on tank])

Moogle : Never had all of the Good King's men survive to 2hr, though having 5 alive is death for everyone... DPS those smalls down all 8 down rightfully negates all if not most of the damage. otherwise watch out for pom flare ad keep King out of center.
and keep Wiskerwall bound or kill him early.

Garuda... haven't done enough to comment

To any person that replies with "hurr hurr suck less" or something equally stupid, I played XI for like six years and haven't had nearly as much difficulty THERE as I do HERE.

Oh my... 6 Years... I've played XI for no more than 2 days. quite honestly your time in XI != experience in XIV

Wut? Regen saves thousands of MP if you keep it up constantly, I dont think you understand just how good it is.

I've heard that regen has an unusually long cooldown.

Sorry Advanced wind deployed a inside joke on the official forums. All 6 likes are from shell mates.

how convenient of it... just because I'm saying it's there for convenience doesn't mean I'm calling it bad...
but then again maybe I phrased my post wrong

Also, what about regen is not convenient? cast time: 2sec recast time: 5sec heals enough to save 700-1000mp of cures during it's duration alone... Very convenient... still not necessary though
