How scared should I be about DPS?

[gumas]

^as usual right? it kinda become a tradition at this point.

anyway for op, i speak this with AST in mind because thats my healer class. pls dont get triggered if it bad, it just a reference...

- go slow, for a start help dps by dot on all mob, its instant so if something bad happen you can react fast

- take a further step. this time cast mallefic but dont spam it, 2-3 times then take a "HP check" on everyone, all good? again, thats what i do at first.

- as for gravity, any less than 3 is not optimal at least for me. gravity can throw you off at first because of the long cast time so cast it once, check everything then cast it again. dont spam it unless you are 100% sure its fine, watch your MP though.

- for boss fight i only recommend dps only if you already know the mechanic, timing and your party gimmick (dps ignore aoe for example), if you want to play it safe just cast dot and mallefic once or two if everyone is good.

just remember that in the end you are still a healer, healing is still your first and most priority, dont hesitate to cancel gravity cast if you think you need to heal, dont be afraid to use your long CD skill just because it has 60 or 90 cooldown, 60 seconds is just 2-3 mobs, time it right and it will be up again in boss fight.

AST get a bit more heavyhanded because of their card, i see a lot of ast either forget to draw card or keep the card until boss only

also i play in jp server so this my personal experience... if you only do DF then set it to JP only, i found that jp party is much more forgiving and more into casual side when it come to DF, at least most that i met is more into "having fun and it just DF" mindset compare to "my f word macro and votekick is ready if wiped" mindset
