Advice!

I genuinely, honestly, sincerely, earnestly never thought of Aurum Vale as any harder or spammier than other Dungeons. I suppose I'll count myself as lucky enough to have people with basic reading comprehension and common sense with circles on the ground.

Like actually a lot of other content in this game, it's not bad with a competent group.

If I got AV in low level roulette, I'd be seriously tempted to drop before the starting barrier does.

Even with... unimpressive (willing to listen, but still poor performance by my standards) people, I've yet to feel the need to ragequit Aurum Vale, despite the tales I hear of it. The only two times I've had to drop dungeons was when the tank and the DPS had their gear broken in Sastasha Hard and when I had genuine morons in Amdapor Keep, who kept claiming that Repel's knockback was a bug, after me repeatedly explaining how it works.

Still, ones mileage may vary, I suppose.

Two days in a row now, I've gotten into AV on healer in progress (before first boss) with a DPS missing. It confuses me.. personally, I've had more trouble with groups struggling through Brayflox or Cutter's Cry. It's not that bad that I'd want to instantly ragequit..

Thank you everyone. This has helped me alot. It's funny though, took me four attempts to complete SV but completed DD on first go. Going to give Cutter's Cry a go!

In cutter's cry after 1st boss u can just race to the 2nd boss ^^
Just tap the portal and sprint on and on, lots of fun lol
After 2nd boss u can just run all the way to boss and revive tank that pulled everything( sac and pull) thus skipping all the mobs.
Hence y se made newer dungeons have lots of barriers.

And yes dps when you want, i'm pretty sure tht most ppl u run into won't question u about dpsing as ur healer isn't running around in i100+ gear with a i110-i135 wep. They'll just be like any dps from healer is like the cherry on top.

Here's my advice when you go into parties, bring food (supporting your highest stat, whether it be Spell Speed or Piety), bring meds (mind pots and ether), and set Cleric Stance on key you can quickly turn on and off. The NQ stuff you get on your trip to 50 will suffice. If not, ask your FC to make you some.

Have tanks on focus target unless your fighting a boss. The set the boss on focus target, so you can react to what the boss does. I. E. if the boss casts "attack the whole party spell", start casting Medica so it will go off right when the boss is gone casting. On that note, consider leveling THM a bit to get Surecast (you will need Swiftcast after you get 50). Also make sure to use Virus on powerful monsters with dangerous attacks (WHM's Virus only works on physicals).

Do not attempt Garuda without getting WHM to 45. This will allows you to wear 4/5 of your AF and get you access to your 45 job ability(that goes for every job).
