Living in the rural country, I play with frightening latency. (800-1000 ms)


I am wondering how forgiving the game is with high pings.


So far I've found that if I dance around a lot, I can usually (not always) avoid the telegraphed attacks.


Bad me, I rolled a White Mage as my first toon. Being a WoW escapee, I didn't realize that healers only heal. haha


So far, healing in dungeons hasn't been too bad. Sweat a little bit, but so far the game seems to give me enough time to fire off a heal after a particularly bad hit on someone. I've noticed that my heal goes off, but it takes time to register on the player. So I build in a little pre-healing. It usually doesn't go to waste. Really have to work on mana management though.


I have no intention of doing Savage raids or super high level dungeons.


But I was just wondering if the game is forgiving enough to allow me to do the normal stuff.


WoW was pretty forgiving. Tanking was easy. Healing a bit more of a nightmare. And I did okay as DPS. Never went past Raid Finder. In WoW, I tried to overgear a bit to make up for the latency. I see FF14 syncs you.


Anyway, fun game. Love the graphics! Wish it wasn't so quiet. I miss WoW's World Chat. FF14 is so lonely sometimes.
