Do I Want To Be A Red Mage?

[SenorPatty]

Because Ifrit seems to have more DPS than Garuda and I don't want Titan pulling aggro off the tank?




Umm..no? That is actually my setup; I was looking for opinions.

I do heal because the Healer is usually a friend in Discord. If he starts flagging, I pop a heal..a band-aid.
If the Tank loses aggro (we get BAD tanks) and healing makes WHM a threat, he can keep moving to avoid being attacked & I can heal him until Tank re-pulls aggro.
Because if the Healer stops to heal & dies, we all die.

To add to Vidu's post about the summons, Ifrit has far less survivability than Garuda simply cuz its a melee smn that not only can't get out of melee target aoes (unless you command it) but also since tanks have to move bosses around at times, that means ifrit most likely won't get into a proper position and that means getting cleaved.

Do you want to be a red mage?
Come on lets go and play
I never see your summoner
Come out the door
It's like Physick gone away...
We used to be best buddies
And now we're not
I wish you would tell me why!
Do you want to be a red mage?
It doesn't have to be a white mage

Do you want be a red mage?
Or DPS around the halls
I think some company is overdue
I've started talking to
the pictures on the walls
(Hang in there, Momomi Momi!)
It gets a little lonely
All these empty rooms
Just watching the hours tick by
(Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock)

Please, I know you're in there
People are asking where you've been
They say "have courage," and I'm trying to
I'm right out here for you, just let me in
We only have each other
It's just you and me
What are we gonna do?

I'll teach you the proper verploys when you talk to verboys, little ways to verflirt and verflounce!

All the vercures bring the boys to the yard..
And they're like, it's better than yours
Damn right it's better than yours
I can verraise you, but I have to charge

I trust this will answer your questions
In relative seriousness you should just run with the jobs for awhile and decide if you like it enough to keep going through the grind, its going to be a long one

Losing a viable healer doesn't mean a DPS takes it spot. It just means it's now only some 20x as good a healer as you are, while the others are 22x.

it's a joke, it was calling WHM a dps, and with about 60% dps i meet, 80%brd/mch, it might as well be

Threads like this make me hate the community. Instead of wasting your time healing try and actually kill the mobs. Dead mobs wont anyone. Your job is to do damage. Take physick off your bar.

Any mana you have spare should be used on ruin 3 anyways.

It may be changed by now but if not I'd say RDM would be a decent backup healer if need be.

while rdm heal is still "good" and used probably once in a blue moon to save their sorry !$!$! , a rdm that is tossing heals is wasting the party time , 1 GCD wasted on vercure even if it dualcasted , is losing damage , if the healers dies u can toss a vercure on tank and rez the healer instantly , but outside that and incoming aoe unavoidable dmg while boss goes inmune (and u use vercure to heal u and proc dualcast ) , oh and soloing i guess :/
