ARC as healer.

[BlackPriest]

I don't know why this hasn't been assessed by dev.

But why can't we queue up as healer as arc. I can sub all my whm skills to be just as good at low levels. And at 30 I can pick up scholar which is a healing class.

As it is right now I'm basically running the dungeons as a whm just to get the clear and questing to lvl on my arc.

If scholar is meant to be a healing class. People should be taught how to play as a healer. I mean that is what the dungeons are for right? Learning experiences and all that?

[MisaCeliousa]

because they're not a healer

Shooting people with a bow doesn't heal them. o.O

Did Ifrit and Halatali last night with Maurader (me), Archer and 2 Arcanist's healing/dpsing.

Although it worked surprising well with Ifrit. It was pretty touch and go in Halatali. Had 1 wipe because Physick just isn't as good as cure. Maybe the Arcanist's didn't put their attributes in Mind?

But I definitely wouldn't go 1 arcanist as healer in a party.

I think he means Arcanist. He's mistakenly using ARC (Archer) instead of ACN (Arcanist)

[MisaCeliousa]

even if he means Arcanist, it's still no healer

it depends if you know your job. I did a 3 man raid in toto-rak with 2 carby tanks and 1 white mage. its not a healing class. as of now its the dancer class of the game. equip stoneskin abilty and let your carby tank while you are dot'ing the mob. that's what I did.

White mage isn't a healer?

Lack of AoE heal is crippling in few situations.

So many people are going to mistake, already seeing it in-game plenty of times :P
I took 15 mins to learn all the abbreviations in this game and it really sticks to the head quick.

I went through a couple of the lower level dungeons as tank with 2 DDs and an ACN (so 3 DDs), the only real way to make ACN effective in this type of role imo is to shed hate onto the pet while the ACN slowly heals you (just my experience). It's not a healer.
