Hail and well met, all,
Another "just joined the fun and have some questions" post.
So, I've got some questions... shocker, eh?
I'm currently on Coeurl, and never see anyone speaking in a global channel. I see folks around, I guess... but they sure ain't bein' chatty. People always tell folks here to go to Balmug or Leviathan... both of which are full, however can you use a paid transfer to get in? Is full just full to creating new characters?
I'm focused on a path to being a healer, and while I dabble with Rogue and Pugilist, I mostly work on Conj/Arc/Thau. My Conj and Arc are both Lv 18, and I have that first "Raid" quest; Sastasha.
I've read about the dungeon and the encounters, watched some youtube vids on it, I have various healing macros setup,and I'm always main healed in other MMOs so I understand the concepts of preparing to pre-cast on a potentially big damage incoming attack... and interrupting it should it not land so as not to overheal, I understand at least tossing my DoTs out to help with DPS if events allow, and running TOWARDS my tank if I grab aggro so he/she can peel the mob off of me, let the group know ahead of time that I'm a newb who has never made this run.... etc etc etc. I'm no true, end game, big raid, healer/player... but I think I'm good enough for the average "dungeon runs," and know the do's and don't's of healing in a group/dungeon.
So... am I ready? Anything else I should know? As a trial newbie, I have no great gear... just what I've gotten from quests... so I can't twink with over the top gear unfortunately.
Any other advice anyone might have is appreciated. I apologize in advance should any of you here end up in my first FFXIV group
Take care,
