Rotations for BRD and WLM

[smgirl825]

I have a quick question. I am on the PS3 as of the moment but I would like to know what would be the best hotkey(s) setups for BRD and WLM. Any and all suggestions are welcome as I wish to grow as a BRD while get to WLM and make sure I also excel at that Job.

Did you mean BLM for Black Mage? I doubt you'd mean White Mage since healers don't have rotations.

Yeah....what is a WLM.....? Whale Mage?

Looking at their Lodestone I'd say they were talking about WHM, White Mage.

No rotation for WHM. Just learn when monsters will hit and pre-cast cure so you heal them as soon as they take damage. Keep up Regen (but not when tank is pulling), Stoneskin at start, intermittently as MP/time allows. Use Medica/Medica II in heavy AoE situations but carefully. Every regen tick that Medica II gives generates enmity.

If I were on PS3 I'd have all of my heals easily accessable with my right hand so I could cycle through party members with my left. Left hand for less used abilities.

BRD you can pretty much just spam 4 macros. Keep Straight Shot up at all times. Keep DoT's up. Use Bloodletter each time it resets. Use Misery's End every time it's available. Heavy shot is your filler. If a healer is down to 50% MP or so and the fight isn't close to ending sing Ballad. If you have a BLM/SMN heavy party use Requiem. If tank/DPS requests TP use Paeon. I'd put songs on the right side somewhere and your main DPS abilities on the right. Flaming Arrow is a pain to place with controller no matter what so just find what makes it more comfortable to use.
