Lily a little unnecessary?

It was made as a joke >.>



Literally posted with the Comedy tag. No part of it was meant to be taken seriously. Lighten up a bit.

I guess I just don't think bad information is funny, and given that some of the sentiments posted are ones we've seen here in the healer subforum in a serious sense...idk, it just riles me a bit. Admittedly, it seems to have been posted before WHM underwent some changes, but I seriously don't think there was ever a time when "Press Thin Air whenever" was good advice, or that taking Plenary off your bar was ever good advice.

Maybe I should have put a disclaimer "I know this is a joke picture but it still annoys me because it's wrong" at the start of my post? EDIT: Especially since the XIV Reddit tends to have a very "we're much better players than everyone else" holier-than-thou attitude going on every time I check something out there.

It's not even real "information"... it's quite obviously a fake infograph.

There wasn't ever a time when this was good advice, hence why it is a joke.

No one would ever take this infograph seriously, hence why the "information" is wrong. It's supposed to be wrong. Because that's part of the joke. This infograph is very similar to this video, which I also find pretty funny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBX7OqTXqcc. And just like the fake infograph, this video also has a disclaimer, showing that none of it is serious. I have no idea why it bothers you so much.

Spending 3 spells worth of MP so you can get Assize back 12 seconds faster a minute later isn't exactly a net gain. If I'm that hard up for MP because I died with everything already on cooldown, I need it *now*, not in five minutes when using Assize immediately when it's up with 3 lilies would get me an extra one vs using it with no lilies. By then I've gotten Lucid and Thin Air back twice.

Probably better to do something I didn't see mentioned: drink an ether.

It's certainly no loss. What else are you doing with your mana? If you're not healing, you should be dealing damage, and cure isn't any more expensive than your damage spells.
I honestly completely forgot ethers exist. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I'll pick some up now. Thank you for that.

I mean, if you actually need those three Cure I spells, then sure. But casting them when they're not optimal themselves because it'll get Assize back faster isn't helping you.

This is literally all I'm saying. You die, your next mana appropriate CD is 25 seconds away, throw a couple Cures instead of your normal Cure 2s since you might need Tetra for a tankbuster or prey on your limited budget, and try to make sure those lilies land on an Assize.

I have never advocated standing around using Cure 1s instead of AoEing, nor have I mentioned holding off on Assize just to get lilies. I would highly appreciate it if people would stop shoving those words into my mouth.
