WTF WHMs?

[Pyretta_Blaze]

I encountered this in AK the other night. Whm used holy on everything moving even single mobs, not one Aero or stone or anything. Then they were out of mana so the bard finally just left ballad up pretty much the whole dungeon. Every pack of mobs took forever to kill...

Don't get me wrong, when I play whm and it makes sense to do some damage I do but I always make sure I have the MP to heal up the party and I cast all my offensive spells in a way that makes actual sense.

Oh look, another thread where OP has no idea what he's talking about. In the words of the almighty Gilgamesh "um....well then."

WTF is it with most of you White Mages spamming Holy when there is just three mobs or less in the lv.50 dungeons? Yes, I have seen White Mages use Holy on just two mobs and even a single mob.

It's this way most of the time when I queue for Duty Finder as Bard. It's like you see a Bard in the group and you are all like "Ooh, Mana Battery!". To me you are just wasting mana.

When I see a White Mages start spamming Holy, I don't use Mage's Ballad till after the fight. At the next fight I turn it off. If they are still halfway or less on mana when we start the next fight, then oh well. They should of not spammed Holy on just two mobs. If the next fight is a boss fight, then I do leave ballad up a bit after the start of the boss fight if White Mage still needs some mana.

stfu and do your job.

Remember why yoshi nerfed holy?
Probably cuz it was just too strong and made other dps aoe look like crap.
The fact that we were healers made it even better.

I'm doing 700-1600 dps on the trash in Brayflox HM. I was even beating my friend's BLM on a lot of the pulls. Granted, it was kinda unfair since I'm rockin an i110 weapon while he had a 95. The nerf to Holy was very justified.

Cause it is fun to cast and feel like you are doing damage and healing the group. Healers can multi-task!

welcome to my world!

Bright light, shine down on bloody impurity.. Holy!

After you kill mobs with holy (and finished them all) just walk away nice and slow... because it's cool that way

So...I don't think you had to complain about White Mages using Holy...since you know, half the time they get yelled at to Holy and make the run faster. And hey, I get bored and use Holy when there are 3 mobs left...because why not? xD

I'd only complain if they killed the group because they were spamming Holy too much or ran out of MP and held the group up for a long time. But it doesn't sound like they were doing anything other than helping out with some DPS >.<

Its so easy to recover mana in between those pulls really, I had times in brayflox hm in which my mana went down to like 100 mp and I simply shrouded myself and my mana was up and good in no time. Ballad is only justified when a WHM raises +2 times or if they themselves died. Other than that is completely unnecessary.
And yes, I holy any mob that exceeds 1.

It was lol probs cuz blms were complaining that the original holy beated their flare. Because you know... Probably one of the only reasons y ppl bring blm along is cuz of their bursty aoes right?
I remember too that back then before the holy nerf a few blms told the tank that they couldn't help that their flares took a while to setup when compared to holy.
But i hate derp bards that put ballad on when we have high mp and don't put ballad up when the fight is dragging on longer than it should have, it's like bards have a hard time gauging on when to use ballad.
Probably tunnel vision on boss right?
