Healing Warriors

[DivineAyumi]

OMG Im baffled by all the response.

I don't really know how good or bad of a healer you may be, but what none mentioned is the warrior himself.

Warriors have an ability they need to stack, they can stack it to 5 and use it smartly.

The current problem with 99% of warriors in ARR is that they are bad warriors.
They don't even read the tooltip of their own abilities.

Hint:
Read this:

Defiance
Increases maximum HP by 25%, while lowering damage dealt by 25% and increasing enmity.
Effect ends upon reuse.

Using certain actions while under the effect of Defiance will grant Wrath. Each unit of Wrath increases critical hit rate by 2% and HP recovery via curing magic by 3%.
When five units are stacked, you will become Infuriated. All Wrath is lost when Defiance ends.

Just as an endnote that makes no contribution to the post: ^ is the reason I don't party with warriors, not in AK, not in WP, and hell no in Coils. (unless I know them, but then again. I haven't found a good warrior in Hyperion)

Beg said war to keep his wrath stacks at 5. And don't take that my dps help bullshit they give for blowing there 15% to heals buff.

"Another trick is to Swiftcast a Holy once the tank stops running which will buy you ~2 GCDs worth of heals before they start damage again."

For the love of creation could someone please explain to my limited mind what "buying" a GCD *Means*?? XD

Holy inlicts stun for 4 seconds. Mobs that are stunned are not hitting the tank, so you can use that time to heal him back up.

I've never had I problem healing warriors in AK and WP, even when doing speed runs. Paladins are a bit easier to heal, sure, but those dungeons are perfectly doable with a warrior.

Coil's a completely different story, however. Would much rather have a paladin there.

Is not that I cant heal them. I can, just that I've had smother, faster runs with 3 DPS+me as WHM there than having a WAR+2DPS+WHM.

Warriors needs to be babysitted way too much because of the reason stated above.

Heck, running 4 DPS AK is smother than having a WAR tank.

I notice this the most when i'm speed running WP.

I see the problem here.... what are you trying to do is what the game is not intend for you to do, especially with your low magic dmg weapon.

As for speed run WP, even an allagan gear paladin still need spam cure2 in some pull if mobs are not die quickly enough (due to DPS) and Holy.

What I suggest are
1) Pull what your group can handle due to gear (Tank+Healer+DPS).
2) Swiftcast Holy -> Holy before full stun resist make tank survive longer than spam cure II.
