Dear RED MAGES....!

Thats it! No more manashifts for you! I'm putting you on the super secret RDM no Manashift Ban list! I HOPE YOU'RE PROUD.

I mean, I might Vercure myself or another person in a pinch, buuuut at the end of the day RDM is a DPS job. Utility is nice to have of course, but the main focus is to lay on the hurt as much as possible. If you're going to choose between a healer DPSing and the DPS healing or vice versa, logic says you're probably gonna want the latter option so the players who are actually supposed to be suited for those tasks carry them out. It doesn't take a veteran player to work that out. Pretty sure that's all there is to say on the matter.

Oh that's why in my previous expert roulette Heal doesnt heal and leave tank always below 30% HP. He think that RDM is perfect healer! Sorry but NO!

[IchiExorz]

I agree with helping to heal the tank when it's necessary. It "shouldn't" happen but sometimes it just does. If you see the healer struggling to heal the tank just throw a vecure or 2.

And sometimes when I see a certain mechanic coming up & im not being healed i'll try to quickly heal myself. But that is no excuse for the healer not bothering to heal me.

Saying that the RDM should give up his DPS to vercure (note DPS is a Red Mage's role) just so the healer can DPS (note that healers do less DPS than an actual DPS class) is just wrong.

If you want to dps that badly then just play a DPS.

No that's probably just a very good healer who is optimising his/her dps as every healer should be doing.

Nope, it was horrible healer who kill tank about 5 times. Poor tank use all CD and still dont get heal as well as other party members.

The great thing about variable classes like RDM is they do have capability to do more than just DPS. You can fill in the gaps so to speak. However, any time you have to do that you are not DPSing and it's a loss. The new raid forced me to dust off my Vercuring skills to make sure I could stay alive to rez others and keep Mana Shift on the healers (if I had the MP to spare). Anyone who plays DPS classes know that ideally it always comes back to getting as much damage output as possible. So, no ideally a RDM should not be curing themselves unless it's a niche occasion, but sometimes bad things happen and when they do it's a last resort option.

It's the way FFXIV is laid out. DPS need to always be pushing top dps out and asking a dps to do otherwise can be problematic as dps will plummet.

RDM = DPS only use heal or raise in emergency not constantly

.....You’re making a joke right? I’ve tried making a joke like this once and it didn’t end well.

Either way...

[Cynfael]

Can you just heal YOURSELVES most of the time....? There's a REASON yoshi gave you a DECENT single target healing ability...! So that when the healer is DPSing they DONT have to heal YOU....!

Thnx...!

Blatant troll or no, we certainly don't need to be encouraging the average DF RDM to use Vercure more unnecessarily than they already do.
