"Who do you rez?"

[MoroMurasaki]

I tend to prioritize having the requesite number of each role up primarily.

Like if we don't need an OT for anything in the near future dead tanks drop to the bottom of the barrel. If we are looking at a big heal check I'll prioritize healers. During an add phase I will pick up dps. I'll usually make sure at least one tank and one healer is up and go from there since there is no fight I can think of where that isn't a good bottom line.

In a vacuum it is more or less based on percieved competence. If you're dying to mechs constantly I'm not wasting the last of my mp on you even if you are a tank/healer because I don't have a limitless supply of MP especially on RDM and I'm not crippling my own dps for the sake of raising someone that wants to take a nap. If I have less than 4.5k mp on RDM and we have a tank and (remotely competent) healer up I'm likely raising no one unless Lucid is off CD soon.

This. Blm can at least give me the cost of the raise back.

I 100% understand this is antecdotal on my part but I have been mana shifted by so few BLMs it almost doesn't cross my mind anymore. I don't expect it. I understand it's because it's a dps loss for them but it still doesn't explain to me the startling lack of use here.

Allow me to apologize on behalf of those thoughtless BLMs. When i get a res, first thing i do is wait a second or two to see if im going to get a heal that ends my res-invulnerable buff(if im not, i need to make sure i do the next thing at a safe moment). Then B3 on the enemy to get all my mana back(2 server ticks). Then mana shift whoever threw me the res. Then flow cleanly into my DPS rotation and try not to die again. At that moment the shift is free, as 2 server ticks with UI3 gives me more then 100% of my mana back and im just about to start in on DPS again so it isnt throwing off my rotation(just delaying it by half a second).

Trick question. Don't Raise. That's RDM/SMN's job.

edit: Also, definitely never the other healer because they might steal your LB.

As a Red Mage, my rez priorities are as follows:

1. Healer(s)
2. Tank(s)
3. DPS capable of rezzing (SMN/ RDM)
4. Everyone else

Depending on if I'm the only one up with healing capabilities, I'll also forgo all DPS and focus on healing the tank (or the tank consistently taking the most damage) until the healer(s) are up & running.

Depends for me. If the other healer/DPS just dies all the time I stop rezzing them and focus on solo healing.
With dps I usually rez the BRD/MCH first for MP if there's no SMN/RDM,

[MOZZYSTAR]

I do healer first > red mage / summoner > and then whoever has been dead the longest and/or the closest/most accessible from my position depending upon circumstances, so long as they didn't keep messing around. Sometimes I will also favour the red mage/summoner who has been helping rez most frequently as not all will/do.



I noticed my companion does healer > then tank > then random DPS (I don't remember them prioritising summoner/healer, but I could be wrong)

[Myrhn]

Usually goes
1- tank if boss is running loose
2- if one tank and healer dead, raise healer then tank
3- if all dps dead start from top to bottom in my priority list with the exeption that if i notice a dps doing really good he/she get priority over the other dps.
4- also if i notice a pattern with my co-healer i will just follow it. example he/she start raising ppl from the top of the list then i will start from the botton of the list to raise.

Most of the time smn/rdm dont raise at all so no point in getting them first than the other dps.
