Healing tips (ps4)

[Dragnela]

- All points go to mind
- The way i do it is that i have a full bar dedicated strictly to healing, with single heals together, healing buffs together and aoe heals together, and a second bar is half healing & half dps (for whm, i dont sch.. ;
- Get your cross class skills quickly.. especially swiftcast, its a god send.

Do your roulette, hunting logs, challenge log, fates and battle leves

I dont understand what the macros means. And when I got cure2 I deleted cure. But its best to use both?! Mp management?

Cure 2 does *not* replace cure 1! You still need both and cure 1 you should use more than cure 2 since it doesn't use too much mp, use cure 2 for when your tank is hit too hard, and when it pops as free (u see a dotted line around the spell). MP management is having enough mp to last your through a run or battle. White mages can run out of mp fast so you have to use your cures and cool downs properly

I heal on ps4 and don't worry it's not as bad as you might think

Keep skill you want access to without having to move your thumb off the joy stick like swiftcast, divine seal etc and all your heals on your main hot bar (that's my personal preference, I have all my attack skills on the second hot bar).

You'll get really quick with practice racing up and down the party bar so u wouldn't worry about that. As for macros I personally don't use them. I keep the skills I would chain together aka swiftcast + raise next to each other to I can click them really fast.

For stats I went 2 mind 1 piety, you can reset your stats with an item from your grand company if you want to change them.

Don't know anything about scholar except is macro heavy and managing smn pets was a pain for me so I never used it.

I did my first dungeob as a scholar and it was awesome!

I did did 90% dmg and 10% healing my fairy did all the work lol

Anyone got a macro that makes the pet obey and heal the one I physick?!

I Highly recommend you do some research on macros. People can come list macros that they use, but once you understand them you can create your own as you see fit.

Agreed with Ringabell, plus, how your healing is set up is a very personal thing. I've seen some great macro ideas out there, but for whatever reason, I prefer a different approach. Conversely some macros I've seen went onto my bar immediately.

Grats on your first dungeon

[giantslayer]

1. Enable cross hotbar.
2. No skill replaces another skill. Take time to plan out how you will lay out your skills at lvl 50.
3. Macro attacks/debuffs to target <t> or <tt>, but don't try to do that for heals. Have your tank targeted and you can heal/attack without switching using those macros.

Sorry don't have time to elaborate on all those points.

Ah... Well, I won't be able to post on here much longer (someone remind me to make a video of all my macros so that I can remember to post up my macros later-though they are slightly outdated).

But a few tips:

Set up your target filters carefully. You will want very specific filters eventually so that each filter targets a different set of players. That combined with up and down for selecting your party makes it very easy to pinpoint target exactly what you want without taking a long time.

One of the macros I use is literally assist. All it does is switch my target to my target's current target. Why is this important? Speed and control.

I of course have other macros as well, such as a macro for telling my tank that they lost aggro and what they lost aggro on-because for some reason, even in end game content, there are some tanks that don't know when they lost aggro on a mob.

Another tip I have is learn to set up macros that maximize your potential.

For example, I have a macro that places my pet. Eventually, I'd like to modify it so that the same macro will also have my pet 'heel' but that will have to wait since that macro is currently overloaded. In other words, the macro already does so much that I can't add anything else to it.

Once you learn how to set up macros, they will make your life much easier.

Also, when casting a skill from a macro, specifically for things like Benediction or Raise, make sure you call that skill more than once. The reason is that macros don't work with the skill queue. The work around is to have a wait 1 and then call the skill about 3-4 times depending. This way, you can have say...


=Rock a by baby= (Repose. also used for BLM sleep)
/macroicon "Repose"
/focustarget
/mk bind3
/ac "Repose" <f>
/p <se.7> <f>, You seem exhausted, why not (sleep) for a while?
/wait
/ac "Repose" <f>
/wait
/ac "Repose" <f>
/wait
/ac "Repose" <f>

This way, instead of spamming the button and having "<se.7> <f>, You seem exhausted, why not (sleep) for a while?" appear over and over again....

It appears once and every second for three seconds, it will try to cast repose.

Also, healers and tanks tend to find it very easy to level quickly with daily roulette (you can usually get the adventurer bonus some time each day, when depends on which role).

Best way to force one class up is to play as that class almost exclusively (Make sure you do your other classes for their skills and for class change, such as stoneskin and protect for CNJ, Swiftcast for THM, and Eye for an eye and Virus for ARC.)

Then you just spam fates, hunts, and dungeons for exp. ALWAYS eat food. If you want, take a look at my more personal blog. especially the brief leveling tips part.

Thnx all! It helped me alot! I made some macros, looked up at some macros, tried to use macros from others, didnt know what /mo was, but it wasnt useful for me on the ps4:P

I got one healing bar, with a macro, that when U use cleric stance, it goes to my dps bar.

I got a normal Physick on the healing bar, and im using a macro,
/obey /physick /embrace /wait embrace /wait 3 /sic

Im using Selene, I dunno if this will work in end game, but for now its awesome, I just let selene heal and buff, and one someone if getting nuked I use the macro that command Selene to also heal my target, but when its not needed I just do some Physick alone and Selene heals others. But most of the time I can dps.

Dunno if I got time to dps in end game, and if I can let Selene go Sic, or do I need the heal from Phsy and Embrace and need Selene in obey all the time?!

@ ariaandkia I looked at your profile, and it seems you transmog your gear? It looks nice! How did you do that?
