WHM > T13 Questions

[Tranquil]

I have never WHM'd T13 (always SCHing it) but I do know what our WHMs do in there pretty well. Without touching the specifics too much, a few quick pointers:

- P1 sounds okay, but it depends on how things are handled in general (Virus, Apocastasis, cooldowns etc.). However, your SCH should definitely help you with the Earthshakers and some pre-Adlos and tank healing, whilst more or less max DPSing otherwise. Always top people off with Cure III in these cutthroat mechanics. (For Gigaflare).

- Scholar is usually on the MT duty in P2. If your MT dies, it is likely their fault. The way we do it is that in P2, I (the SCH) only heal the MT and off-DPS when possible, with the WHM taking care of the OT during the adds of each rotation, and then raid-healing appropriately and support-healing the MT when the add is dead. Scholars can pre-Succor for the upcoming Megaflare late on into the rotation, however. That and or Sacred Soil. Your objective is to keep the raid up in here.

I think our WHMs do Medica II a few moments after the add has been stabilized aggro-wise, which then slowly tops people off over time, from the Rage of Bahamut damage (our PLD Covers the WHM after the Gigaflare that transitions the fight to P2, so the WHM can just insta-top people off with Cure III here). When a rotation of P2 is coming to an end, our WHMs tend to do Medica into Cure III for the Megaflare -> Rage of Bahamut -combo. Divine Sealed, I think. That puts everyone in the healthy enough zone for the Rage of Bahamut. Then, rinse and repeat with the WHM keeping Regens up on both tanks, doing some Cures/Cure IIs on the OT, then using Medica II that tops people off over time. After that, the WHM is on the MT with the SCH.

-If someone has 2 stacks, you may need to have Succor/Adloquium/Stoneskin/Manaward up mostlikely. That is, a non-tank having 2 stacks. It depends on whether people have a lot of vitality and mdef and of course and whether you have a MNK on the raid (Dragon Kick) or not. I generally do a Succor for general safety and people with 2 stacks live at 500-1000 HP. We run T13 without a MNK. This means that if everyone is topped off you might not need extra mitigation (especially with a MNK), but it never hurts to have Soil up there (as the SCH can place a Soil so that it persists through the initial Megaflare, the tower going out [if in the stacked group] as well as the blast of Rage of Bahamut).

- Tell your PLD to use Cover on the P2 add-spawns that are likely to give you guys the most trouble. That or then tell your OT to step up their snap aggro. Of course, this depends on your strats, some people have the PLD blow their Cover in P1 for Earthshakers and more DPS.
