Healer role in frontlines

[IDontPetLalas]

AST is quite good in PVP for heals imo - this is in frontlines tho.

If you see someone's HP plummet you can save them with aspected benefic then a double cast aspected benefic.

I like buff jobs in PVP, I main BRD but if there's too many I switch to AST.

Double cast gravity is a recuperation waster for your opponent and I just spam cards when I can!

(Damn you Bole when the ice comes up in fields of glory! I feel like a right clown playing it when no other teams are around!)

I am much more likely to save someone by using my gravity rather than benefic on them, especially considering how much DR some jobs have. However macrocosmos+microcosmos, cards and LB is a very different story.

FLs has always been like that.

However point taken for rescue, that was a fun skill to use. Replace stupid polymorph with this and I'd be pretty happy tbh.

I think having healers behave as they were before would just ultimately be very bad. Pre-rework they contributed a lot towards the long drawn out fights in the Feast since a good healer could just never let anyone die, especially when they would combine it with the existing defensives. Even in Frontlines, if you fought a team with two or three healers, and yours didn't it was basically gg. I do agree the game does need more ways to have personal survivability, specifically speaking from a CC perspective, would be cool but I don't wanna go back to the way they were before.

Doubt that. You do know the benefits scale the lower the hp of the target is, right?

I've done it multiple times where it gives them time to breathe.

You doubt what? That gravity is useful? That microcosmos and AST LB are useful? I wasn't trying to saying that, I may have expressed myself poorly, I was saying that that you SHOULD be using that, and in terms of assisting your party I find them used more often and to more benefit that try to cast a benefic on someone or even multiple people.

Hehe.

Do you know how to play AST in PVP?

Ok I'll break it down, for frontlines. They are the best healer.

We have expected benefic, 5k pot increases upto 10k pot when a targets under 50% hp.

Now, if we dual cast that, it's a 20k up to them PLUS a recent AND a shield.

Microcosmos hits for a potency of 12k, AND heals all party members (who don't die) for 25% of their damage taken.

Now let's talk abilities and cards.

Gravity can dual cast for a slow on the first target and a slow, it also does AOE damage.

Anymore problems?

You're not stating anything new, if you're trying to get a response from me by the way that you're phrasing it- I honestly could care less about your opinion of me, or my skills- or lack thereof.

Hehe

Ah.
You're that AST on the alliance who thinks they did some work when they barely "saved" the MNK, who didn't actually need your help in the first place, after they jumped in to harass the BLM. Meanwhile I've just Balance > Celestial River > Microcosmos > Gravity x2 your entire alliance as the 6 SMNs all simultaneously had Bahamut barf bomb the battlefield, resulting in your 1 life saved but 13+down, effectively saving the BLM the MNK jumped in to harass in the first place.

And then, 2 seconds later, my alliance falls to pieces over the 4 perfectly coordinated DRG LBs when they couldn't escape the 4 DRK salted earths, and the status quo continues to fulfill itself while I dive in headfirst to be cool, too.

Do you even actually PVP bro?

Plus the dualcast is instant. Do microcosmos for dos. It's a good AOE and let it accumulate damage. It get like 4k potency PLUS 25% damage in a heal.

Can't edit it, I'm on my phone.

I meant regen and sheild.

But yeah, L2P
