I think this is the biggest advice for pvp.As someone who is almost always playing tank if not a healer, it brings me great joy when like 10 ppl are being idiots and chasing me around our tower. That's 10 people doing nothing constructive with their time while 23 other people on my team are probably ransacking their tower. Similarly, as a tank, at the start I will often block a lot of ceruleum pick-ups at the start, even if I can't get them myself, since it just wastes a lot of enemy time and forestalls their operations. If 5 people want to chase me around and achieve nothing that's fine by me..
If you as 1 person can cause 5 (or more) people to stop what they're doing and focus on you, you're assisting your team very well. Granted, your teammates can't be the ones 5v1 someone else as well.
Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
