Guide ressources rotations/bis gear

[Annabellechu]

Hey I'm pretty new to final fantasy and I was wondering where are the best ressources to learn about rotations and bis gear (stats) for classes, maybe even keybind/hotbar suggestions. I currently posted here since I've started with whm (lvl61). I don't consider myself hardcore but I'd like to be able to play my class as well as I can. I've also searched the forums and google without much success.

I wouldn't worry about BiS until you're level 80. As for your rotation, as WHM it's, put on dia/aero, spam stone/glare until that timer runs out,reapply dot, back to spamming. And use assize whenever it's up. (honestly, thats the rotation of every healer atm and is why a lot of us are really upset at the current itteration)

If you want to learn more rotations and bis gear, the best place to look is the Balance discord. https://discord.gg/thebalanceffxiv

Rotation: Keep your dot up, use Stone/Glare whenever you don't need to heal. Use Assise when available, but don't hesitate to keep it a bit longer if you know that there's big damage incoming. Use Presence of Mind when available, it's a good boost to your damage and healing. Try to use Lucid Dream regularly so you don't get surprised by low MP, and Thin Air for MP intensive periods (mass Raise or Medica spam).

Dia, Regen and the Afflatus skills have no cast time, so don't hesitate to use them when you need to move or weave some CDs.

Gear: Don't worry about gear until max level, just grab what the dungeons give you if they're higher level than your gear, and use tomestones for powerful 60/70 gear. Once you're 80, go for the highest ilvl, and try to gather crit and det over piety and spell speed.

Bindings: To each their own, I personally put all my dps spells on one line, all my single target heals on another, and all my aoe heals on a third line. My CDs are kinda all over the place though.


Healers are very easy to play right now, so you're not going to find a lot of guides. It boils down to "gear for crit, heal as necessary, spam 1"


I hope this helps!
