I know this isn't WoW but is there a healbot type option for healers?

I usually tank or DPS and I have only been playing a few months so please forgive my ignorance.

I have never played a healer in FFXIV but I'm considering it. But I'm not sure how to go about it.

I don't understand the question, to heal efficiently you use your healing spell, when it get crazy you use a healing buff or your bigger/HgcD heal. I guess... Thats pretty much healing 101.

You kinda get the feel for wich spell used by playing and seeing the effectiveness of your spell by yourself, I guess the parsing tool can show how much heal you did and how much goes to overheal.

OK just forget about how to heal when it get crazy...ill take that out if it;s not clear what I mean.

Is there a healbot type thing or do you guys use macros or do you just select what party member you want and click the spell or what?

I use the in game macro function personally. I just find it to be the most effective and have it linked to my heals, damage abilities and buff's. If all goes well it means I can get through a dungeon or whatever without once having to break target off the main tank.

I don't understand the question

In WoW, they allowed certain third party addons to modify your UI and change how certain things worked.

One of those third party tools was called healbot, for example it let you cast spells by moving your mouse over them, let you map certain spells to left or right click in combat, and gave more info than the base UI provided.

Oh thank you, I was aware of the huge modding part of Wow, but healbot didn't ring a bell and I was far from thinking mods would go that far on a MMO.

Nope, there's no addons in FFXIV, you got to click and press your heal key.

But don't worry very much, as the damage comes in more predictable patterns than WoW.

Thanks for the reply. I figure it's probably more manageable as well with a slower global combat system.

I wish there were. Having a grid to keybind abilities to my mouse in this game would be AMAZING.

I do this with my g600. It's a setting in the game you don't need add-ons for it.
