    First true test of healers in FFXIV: ARR.



    As a healer, I found the Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak to be an absolute HELL to try and heal. Whatever wasn't trying to kill your party by beating the crap out of it was trying to kill your party by beating the crap out of it after poisoning everyone. As the healer, you had to be on your toes and know when to use esuna or heal, while keeping yourself alive after ticking off whatever monster was attacking by healing it's victims. While it wasn't really all too hard (not on the level Garuda anyway) it did separate the attentive healers from the idiots who simply chose a healing role so they could get into dungeons faster. I enjoyed every minute of it, and plan to run it again. I hope there are other challenges like this one in later dungeons.

    I haven't gotten a chance to heal Toto-Rak, only DPS and Tank (during beta), but it sure looks...fun, or at least a nice step up from what I've experienced so far. I certainly share your hopes of more challenging content for healers as I progress.

    Also, Dat Inventory.

    Yes, this one caught me slightly off guard when my entire team first got poisoned. I adapted and passed it even with a few close calls. I decided to do the dungeon a couple of times to be sure I was comfortable with my role on the team. I did enjoy the challenge and I am happy to see there is something to look forward to as a healer. Hearing good things about Titan and Garuda.

    This was rough the first time I tried it because AOE is large and sticks around for a long time, so my entire screen looked green.

    Later on it wasn't so bad though. I re-did it and when it AOEd I just moved around the room in a clockwise direction, keeping towards the edge.

    I think one of the tough parts in dungeons is getting a good camera angle. I was practically staring directly down on myself in order to see what I was doing in that fight. It worked, but it made things awkward.

    the last boss in brayflox has similar poison attacks and aoe like this one
    moreover, the boss will heal itself if he stays at the poison
    so everyone have to be mobile and aware

    I love the official forums, they tell you to use the search for thread about what you wanted to talk but when you use it they judge for necro a thread.

    I've done it twice as CNJ and, at least imho, the only thing remotely hard about it was the moronic Lancer who kept trying to be a tank in the second run. Granted, if your the type who just spams Cure with the occasional Medica, it will knock some reality into you, but hard it really isn't.

    Nah this was easy, but I like how the Sunken temple was like and idiot filter. Titan was even worse people constantly getting hit and knocked off the side I had to leave like 10 team before I got a team that did him in one shot with like 2 first timers lol. Some people just don't know how to get out of the way of AoEs. Making healing hell on earth. I cant wait to get my hands on some of those mega Ether potions X_X
