How To Get into the Raid Scene?

[Taika]

Hey Istus,

you're in luck as the new patch is coming up next week, raid content will start anew and people will be more or less in equal grounds. If you really want to get into the top raid content, that would be Alexander: Midas (Savage). I would advice you to get to level 60 asap and then try to grind as much level 200+ gear as possible (esoterics will be uncapped when the patch comes next Tuesday so that'll be a good way to get gear you can upgrade to 210). The normal Alexander: Midas will likely also offer higher item level gear than 210, but that and the new tome gear will be locked behind weekly caps.

You should also start looking for a raid group asap. At least on my server there are many groups recruiting right now (you can see multiple advertisements in party finder in game and here on server forums). I would imagine it to be possible to find a group that's willing to help you catch up before you start running the new content.

In addition to gear, you will need all the vital subclass abilities for your job. You seem to be missing at least Eye for an Eye from Arcanist. Be prepared for raid healing to be very different than what healing the leveling dungeons or easy endgame fights is. As a White Mage, you're expected to be the main healer of the party and also to solo heal a lot while your co-healer does DPS.

Good luck!
