Experiencing new WHM paranoia. Halp!

Always a little nervous, but we have so much to watch for..whenever someone dies it's the healer who gets blamed. And it's not always true.

We have to lead the party, but from a different perspective. It's our job to make sure the party is behaving properly. We're the best at seeing where hate is going because our cures follow that hate whether it's to us, dps or tanking.

You will get nervous, but once you know you have your role down in the run and things still go wrong, it's time to make sure the children know how to play nicely with the mobs.

You'll get "well i did XX runs in a row and played the same.", well that's special..but everyone (including us healers) need to know how to adjust our role to better fit the threshold of hate that is set by the party formation...and we get to let them know that. It's like being a bard in 11 all over again!

I know i will be nervous when running with a party... For this reason I have not joined anyone yet. There is a dungeon (lvl 15 quest i think...), in Limsa Lominsa (spelling, ack) I have stayed away from so far... Maybe one of these days.

I will say I am having too much fun running around and leveling.

Sastasha is a good first dungeon. Nothing too scary comes up, keep your tank targeted and/or set up macros to make healing the rest of your group easier. Best ones that I had for early dungeons was to assign buttons 1 through 4 to instantly heal party members in those slots without having to worry about targeting them directly. This will serve you until you start running in 8 man parties. I can't remember the exact macro but I will update later with them.

Thank you Niadissa for your reply. Yeah, Sastasha is the dungeon I was thinking about.

Made two macros (/ac "Cure" <t> & /ac "Cure" <tt>) so far. Only have used the <tt> macro once on a player that was taking on a FATE npc, and managed to use a ton of MP while healing when needed and switching to Cleric mode to do dps. Will admit noob'n it so far.

Macro /ac "Cure" <x> x = me, 2, 3, or 4 to assign to butons 1 thru 4. Will probably use this to heal party members.
