Starting new healer channel!

[Ryomiyu]

Hi guys!



I have a bunch of ideas that I'd like to share and I think they may be useful to my fellow healers.

Hopefully you guys think its useful, I don't claim to be the best in anyway, just sharing my opinion.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears

I only have 1 video up at the moment about scholar pet spell cancelling, but there is more in the works if enough people enjoy the page.

I managed to get out another video on what not to do as a healer. Its mostly directed to new healers because most of the said stuff are fairly simple.

Great music choice.

I dont get what you mean in your description though:

Another way to cancel eos is by using this macro:
/macroicon Steady pet eos
/pac Obey
/pac Steady

I don't like using it however, because I like to keep eos on steady.

How is this not easier than the place thing, and what do you mean be keeping her on steady? After all, the macro just switches to obey and back to steady.

Since the 2.5 update, that macro no longer works reliably unfortunately

[Spoekes]

Yeah I read that. If I understand correctly, because the GCD of Embrace does now reset after you cancel it the fairy will immediately start casting embrace again - but I would guess the place thing suffers from the same issue, does it not?

[DarkerOrange]

Yep, that is correct. The only real way to control the fairy skills at the moment is spam macros (/pac "skill" /pac "skill" /pac "skill")

[Spoekes]

Then my question remains, why not just press the one macro instead of the place thingy.
Personal preference aside, the macro looks more comfortable at the same result.

[DarkerOrange]

I just use the spam macros at the moment. I find the place macro far too cumbersome to use in most situations.

Yeah I read that. If I understand correctly, because the GCD of Embrace does now reset after you cancel it the fairy will immediately start casting embrace again - but I would guess the place thing suffers from the same issue, does it not?

I need to do some more testing, but when shes on Steady - Obey, you can cancel her spells and she won't heal immediately after because shes not healing someone that is under 80%.

Not 100% sure, but when shes on Guard - Obey, when she casts embrace when someone dips low, that embrace cannot be cancelled.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

[DarkerOrange]

Steady/Guard have no effect on Auto-Embraces. The problem with the interrupt macros now is that you will only ever be want to interrupt an auto-cast, but if you try to, she will just start casting immediately.

With the pet AI as it is now, it is pointless to try and interrupt auto-casts of Embrace, because the fairy will just start casting it again straight away.

[Spoekes]

Ok, I cannot test right now, but I looked up a few things.

The macro to stop casting was this one:
/pac Steady
/pac Guard
/pac w/e action

This makes sense, as both are 2 sides of the same coin (technically this only matters to SMN pets, but seems to have an impact on the faires actions as well in terms of stopping the cast), whereas Sic/Obey would be the "other coin" (auto-everything vs. only-auto-embrace).
I can't see your mentioned macro work at all when I think it over.

Have you tried switching the above macro to
/pac Guard
/pac Steady
/pac w/e action
