Decent (Hopefully!!) Tips and Tricks for WHMs

Rawr.

I can't seem to get this down in the overworld at least. Suppose I'll have to try it on Primals or something where the updates are more frequent. Even though I'm tempted to say you're mistaken, seeing as virtually everything else takes the cast finishing into account, rather than the animation. It's why you can do silly things like hit trash with Holy even though they moved 15 yalms away from your position by the time the animation finishes. :/

Correction: Don't use renew

Not using Regen (I'm assuming you mean that by saying Renew) is like losing 30% of the reason to be a White Mage. If you're having aggro problems with it, your tanks suck or you should stop casting it as they pull, waiting for a Flash or Overpower at least before putting it up.

Fair point. - I only do this in dungies. But I do believe, like with Benidication, Cure registers post animation.

interesting, still a stronger cure even though without ds initially?

Tis true! It works for me - hand on heart. It is, for sure, a split second timing action. I watch the cast bar on my Cure...up, up, nearly, just as it hits the end I click DS and boom mega cure hits tank.
I am on PS3, so maybe the loading allows this to happen for me...cast bar finishes, and whilst I am in the last momments of my cure animation, before the actual cure hits, I DS. It registers.

Either that, or by pure luck I ALWAYS get a CritHit Cure when I do this....which I think is unlikely....

Could be a PS loading thing, then....try it and see.....perfect timing mind! Sometimes I miss, if I try DS too soon. I just watch that bar, and as soon as it hits the end - DS
