Refining WHM Tips

[SeleneFatalis]

Okay, so I main WHM, and have been since I basically started playing. However, I feel like I've come to a plateau in terms of my skill level.

Basically, I’m trying to keep my over-heals at a minimum, keep the party’s health at least 75% or higher, and push out my DPS as much as possible.

I always use Divine Seal + Regen the tank whenever it’s up, switch over to DPS for a moment to get in my Aero I, II, and III, and refresh Regen when DS is about to disappear.

I use Asylum after the tank has pulled all the enemies and found their spot to tank them (Although, I’ve been wondering if I should do it less, especially with other melee DPS around, which creates a bit of over-healing.) The reason why I like to use it is that it’s another HoT on the tank, which means I can squeeze out a little more DPS. Still trying to figure out which way to go is more beneficial.

Rarely do I use Medica II, unless the full party has taken damage. Again, this is to keep my over-heals at a minimum.

One thing that I do that some people disagree on with me is that I Swiftcast + Stoneskin II before each pull. Someone had suggested to me to just Stoneskin the tank as the last mob in a pull is dying, but I’ll admit, between healing and DPSing, it’s kinda hard to get into the habit. Should I make the effort to do that instead then, or is there no harm in doing what I’m currently doing? I’ve never had an issue where Swiftcast was down when someone needed to be Raised, but then at the same time, rarely do I have anyone who dies.

On the DPS side of things, I keep my Aero’s up, unless a mob has about 35% or less health, then I’ll just use Stone III. If all of my Aero’s are up and I can DPS more, then I’ll use Stone III as a filler. Sometimes I’ll throw in Assize if it’s up, because I tend to use it for DPS more than I do for heals.

Any tips? I’m open to changing things or trying new stuff out.
