Healer Confessions

[Fevelle]

Buuuut. We BLMs are not supposed to move. If I'm not dying instantly, there's a good chance I'll stand in AoEs if it means I'll otherwise drop Enochian.
Be nice and heal us anyway, okay?xD Losing Enochian is a big deal and the dmg we deal by keeping it up is more than you could deal with that one GCD it takes to heal us :0

Then use Manawall/Manaward. Losing MP on a possible Raise if you miscalculated the damage is way worse than you dropping Enochian.

Thanks. I seriously couldn't even articulate an answer due to the sheer amount of DPS tunnel vision I read in that reply. Besides, as I've seen with most BLMs who wise up, run out and run back in and make use of your support skills to keep yourself alive. If you know you're going to take a hit on purpose, use Manawall/ward and brace yourself.

Your own survival > your DPS. Remember, some people out there like myself don't give two shits about how much damage you're doing. I've had BLMs literally stand in Ancient Quaga during the final fight of Circus tower just to keep throwing damage on him and they have no excuse because it's capped before Enochain is even an option.

Besides the only time I don't use this rule is in progression high tier raiding and even then your ass should be fucking moving.

Sorry for the outburst. This kind of stuff bothers the hell out of me.

Plus even if as Blm enochian is marvellous spell
As a DPS you focus survivability over DPS
It's better to keep DPS than burst and die

As a Blm i often don't move out of an aoe if and only if I know i won't die from it to maintain enochian
But i will only do it if the heal is able to use regen on me and if the tank is not dying

Otherwise i will move.

...

The Blm in my static always say sorry when he don't move out of an aoe and take damage and force me to heal him.
And I remain him that before being HW healer i was ARR Blm XD and that I understand and prefer him taking damage and staying top DPS.

Plus he wisely use manawall manaward
(Ok sometime he use the wrong one but he think about it)
