Healers in Variant Dungeon

[ThaCa]

There's very little reason to bring anything but DPS to Variant. Variant Rampart and Cure completely trivialize any damage taken outside of getting oneshot by standing in like 3 mechanics at once, which might still be barely survivable with Rampart shield.

You might not even need Cure if you properly use Rampart, it's that busted.

Also your total HP seems to scale directly based on your ilvl regardless of role. I had more hp than Tanks in my group on my somewhat geared DPS.

That's very sad. I was considering maybe that they would feel more fun to do them in a group, but there really doesn't seem to be a reason you would want a healer in the group. I would just feel like a burden.

Depends, if alone, going as a healer will slightly take more time or feel like more time because you have three attacks lel ;—;...in parties you really don’t need any other role besides dps (so funny when people start fighting over making a tank/heal/dd/dd party).
And if you only main healers then you have smn levelled up as well, rotation is mindnumbingly easy so just get rampant and cure and have a happy farming time.

I actually had a lot of fun healing the variant dungeon. I was playing SGE, with a friend playing BLM. So I took the tank role skills in with me… Being simultaneous tank and healer was pretty interesting, if a little OP. Having godlike mitigation and shields between SGE and the variant Rampart meant there was basically no chance of my HP ever dropping, but it also meant I got to use a lot more of my kit than I ever really need to use on a regular dungeon. Anyone looking to have more fun on a healer might wanna try it!

Yup! Noticed my sage take less damage than regular tanks in variant dungeons with our skills and rampant combined.

I soloed with RPR and SGE and RPR was definitely the faster option. Gear could have something to do with it though.

Ya, just roll melee dps
