How do I heal?

[416to305]

I don't use any Macros because you can't queue spells so ends up making things slower and I find it's not really that hard to know who the tank is targeting. Especially in boss fights, 99% sure they will be targeting the actual boss and not an add. To echo the others above, I do the same, keep Medica II up all the time and then on the tanks usually Regen as well, sometimes myself. Especially if something big is coming. With WHM you have the sweet Divine Seal which is instant cast and increases your healing potency by 30% which is huge. This is great when a big attack is coming, or if you want to DPS a bit, pop it, then Regen / Medica II and you're REALLY boosting the healing output.

Other helpful tip is to just have confidence. Most times if someone dies it's actually not your fault unless you're distracted etc, it's usually because they missed an AoE or tank pulled too big etc. Also most people are not watching what you're doing, especially DPS. I was always so paranoid staring out that people would be yelling at me all the time like "Why are you casting this or that now!?" but no one ever does. You'll have tons of time to practice as well as you learn skills as you go, so the most basic dungeons you will pretty much only have a couple of spells and not need to do a lot of healing, then it builds from there. 8 person dungeons are much easier since you have a sidekick healer to help out as well. In 4 person it can be a pain since if you die, usually the party wipes unless there's a summoner to bring you back, but usually not.
