Fellow WHM, please, do your job.

I was at the Odin fate last night and what I noticed is something that's been occurring over and over again on fates.

Everyone was dying, all the close ranged dps were all over the floor and NOONE was raising them. I mean, I was the only WHM there just sitting and reviving them, because I know it takes A LOT of DPS to kill Odin and a WHM can't make a difference like a dragoon or a monk can. The best thing you can do as a healer on a FATE/World Boss like that is keep everyone alive and revive all the dead dps, because this is the reason we couldn't dps him before he cast the ultimate and killed all of us and we failed the mission.

If we have any hope of defeating Odin and the other primals, we need to know exactly what we're doing in there and for WHM this is keeping the DPS alive, so that we don't fail the mission.


PLEASE.

Thank you.

No, I'm gonna cast Holy cuz it has cool animation.

[Ulathskullsplitter]

Congratulations. Fate completed, heres your bronze with no reward while everyone else gets silver and gold and an item drop.

[Evangela]

Nobody is going to heal/revive other people in FATE cuz if we didn't do enough damage we'll get little to no reward.

Not sure what it's like on your server, but last time Odin was up on mine, we pretty much crashed the zone with all the people in the fight. I have a fairly beefy system and had all sorts of issues with not seeing stuff on screen, even after turning down graphics quite a bit.

This game need public raid groups, so healers can actually heal something and earn rewards during FATEs.

[Alavastre]

I kind of stopped healing people in FATES as you get 0 credit for it unless you're in a group. Feel kind of bad about it, and I do try to save people from time to time, but it's not my focus.

Are we supposed to be always altruistic while everyone blows by us?

Don't get me wrong, after the FATE is over, I will raise you. I guess it's don't hate the player, hate the game.

Yes yes yes! One of the most quality-of-life-improving features in Rift.

SMN/SCH should be Swiftcast (THM level 26 cross skill) + Rezing because they can more easily sustain their mana pools with Aetherflow + Energy Drain. WHMs should be focused on healing because mana regeneration for WHMs isn't all that great.

Oh and the DD could focus on not dying/not standing in bad, but you can blame that on the hundreds/thousands standing next to you and lagging out the server.

Odin's fight definitely has some things that need to be tweaked, however WHMs rezing people isn't what I had in mind =P.

I call bs on the ALL the WHM that say you dont get credit for healing ... Im only lvl 39 so the biggest event I have done is the dragon event in cortheas But I just throw Areo up on the dragon keep it up and heal people and get gold every time so not getting to credit for healing maybe you are doing something wrong and not quick enough healing people that are dying ... If for some reason this changes for in lvl 50 fates .. not sure why it would
