How do I heal better as a white mage?

[Genjisamurai]

I am level 35 leveling my alt doing brayfox and I find it very hard to heal... Basically what I do is use cure until free cure 2 is active and if I fall behind and tank is below 50% I use cure 2. Still find myself struggling.

Can't outheal dmg taken by the Tank?
Reduce the Damage taken by the Tank!

Sleep the mobs.

Someone always ends up waking them up :/

Grinded Brayflox 15+ times to gain gear. I've also ran Brayflox as a Paladin quite a few times on my main character.

First, I'll state that Warrior is far and beyond easier to heal than Paladin this go round. This isn't due to preference, it's due to the fact that Warrior gets Defiance at level 30, which increases their HP and increases the healing gained through Wrath stacks. Paladin only has Sword Oath and cooldown rotations.

There's some factors to look out for:

-Overall DPS intake that your tank is taking.
-How well the tank is holding aggro.
-How strong your DPS members are (kill speed is important).
-If your party is focusing on a single target each time.
-Status effects such as poison.
-Sleeping targets.

Even when I didn't have Battlemage gear, I healed through Brayflox without much problem. The only time I've ran out of MP is when tanks aren't avoiding red zones, or if the DPS is terrible and bosses take way too long to kill. The latter has happened far more than the former.

Esuna poison effects, sleep appropriate mobs (you can also sleep the 2nd boss when the add shows up. Really helps with healing), and tell your DPS to not AoE anything when you're sleeping stuff. If you're doing all of that and still can't keep your tank healed, then something is wrong with your party and you need to find out what. You've already figured out one problem (your DPS is waking up mobs and therefore is increasing the tank's damage intake, if not their own). Other problems could be undergeared tanks, or DPS who aren't focusing on the tank's target.

At level 35, you should have been putting all bonus attribute points into mind. Then check the market board to make sure you have the best possible gear for your level. And don't forget the accessories. And sometimes other players will make it difficult. Not much you can do about that.

Brayflox was the first dungeon i came across sleeping
The tank asked me to do it one run and i was skeptic but it was such a massive difference that it is actually worth being annoying and trying to 'boss your group around', many tanks at that level still arn't marking mobs and many dps are still just throwing out all the shit theyve got, nothing you can do about it if they refuse to change though

Brayfox

1. Repose Adds if no THM/BLM in group
2. Esuna...people say 'it's worthless' It's not...use it and use it often to keep tank poison/para free
3. Don't rely on 'Free Cure II' procs. If you get a free Cure proc...and should actually cast Cure II use it. Otherwise, cast Cure II when you need to cast it. Don't wait and hope for the proc.
4. Hold back on any DD spells until you know 'this group isn't retarded'
5. Stoneskin the tank (once you learn it) before every single pull. Ideally, you can time this so that you are SSing him right as the last mob is killed from the old pull. This give you a little buffer time during the next pull that the tank won't need a cure and you can be Reposing a mob or 3.
6. There are retarded groups
7. This dungeon is actually difficult for a Healer...MP issues/hate issues and inexperienced party members make this a tough place.
8. This is a 'controversial' spell...but if you need to, and can do it THIS way, use 'Fluid Aura' to push a mob that aggros YOU back TOWARDS the tank. It saves you running, binds the mob in place and makes it easier for the tank to grab. However some tanks even see you use this spell and they get pissy. Again, it's not to make the tank play ping-pong with a mob...you should only do it if you're getting beat on and only if you are angled in a way that you can push the mob TO the tank.

9. I'm going to assume your gear etc is all in order. But upgrade if it still isn't working.

Bray is a much more difficult run than the previous ones as a healer, but you should be able to handle it.
#1 though is the judicious use of repose/sleep. There is absolutely no reason why a tank should be getting whupped by 3 mobs. If people are breaking the sleeps then that's where communication comes in. If they don't know you need to sleep the mobs they may not realize that they need to focus fire the targets. Of course, there's always Kinsey's point number 6.

That being said, there are times when a sleep just aint possible. And that's when you're going to need to chain heal the tank. If your Cure I spell being cast back to back to back isn't enough to keep the tank standing against 3 enemies then there may be a gear issue. I'd recommend the malachite jewelry for extra MND stat.

Punch them in the face. As a DPS I do not enjoy when other DPS prematurely wake mobs. Also I WAS gonna joke and say glue a phoenix to your staff and no one dies ever :P but in all seriousness Braylox is bump in the smooth ride of dungeon running. Be sure to use esuna and stoneskin (what I've seen from other healers in that dungeon).
