Okay, so I've played FFXIV for about a month so far. I like playing as a White Mage by myself. I enjoy it, but you know what I haven't enjoyed? Playing in teams for the story missions!! Could someone advise me if I'm doing something wrong? Because I've tried Titan a couple of times and each time it's been wipe out after wipe out, because the whole team starts to die left right and centre and I just don't have the MP to keep them all alive, it's like I'm constantly healing one after another until the MP is gone and I have to slow down. Besides that, the lag in getting away from attacks in time and how the rock prison can get you, I'm at a loss. The only other MMO games I've played have been PSOBB and PSU, and they were pretty easy really, there wasn't much to a healing role and I could rock an attack magic class there. So.... too different a system?
Have no idea if this works on the same principle in fate parties so I have simply avoided them like the plague.
