Advice!

[Sumimi]

As "boring" as some people say healing is. I find that healers actually have the most things to do when doing content.

Not everything is rainbows and unicorns, and there's a fine difference between those who forsee incoming damage, and those who heal after the damage. The biggest things for healers is to always be aware of the situation. This applies the most to us healers, less so for tanks, and even less for DPS. This isn't to say that situational awareness can be completely ignored, but the more you have the better.

My advice is simple: Be aware of your surroundings, including your party, as much as you can. This includes, and is not limited to:

• Incoming AoE
• Incoming Big Hits
• Monsters that Patrol
• Debuffs
• Buffs
• Your party's likelyhood of ignoring a mechanic and getting hit.
• Chance of someone non-tank pulling aggro.
• Tank's willingness of popping defensive cooldowns.
• etc...etc...

You'll find that you'll have a much easier time supporting a group if you know what their habits are. Yes this applies to DF parties as well.

I say simple, but in practice it's much harder when it comes to the more difficult dungeons. Even more so if you're learning.
