White Mage aggro - a thought

[bonniebru5]

So I have been playing Conjurer/White Mage since launch and i have a thought that probably more people are thinking as well. thought i'd share it anyway though

i am now getting my gear together, DL, soon got relic etc. which gives me great healing ability... however that does not seem to always be a good thing. when i do AK, CM etc. i now and then come over a tank that has fairly low level gear compared to me, which then causes him to not gain threat as fast. his HP will drop fast and my heals which are quite high in comparison will draw aggro pretty instantly as keeping aoe aggro isnt always easy.
I also make a habit of not using Regen on trash as if its still active after the fight it will pull aggro right away in the next one

my way of dealing with this is simply to buy out random gear from Market Board (gear that can be converted into materia i dont really care if it has strenght or other useless stats) healing power is reduced and as a bonus i get materias.

thoughts?

Even with lower level gear you are still going to need to heal him back up the same amount.

If a tank can't out threat you healing the damage he takes(assuming you're not grossly overhealing), that's on him, you can only band-aid the problem so much.

CM is easy just make sure the other healer is doing the job and heal less. AK, wait for the tanks HP to drop more. You have the heals to get the tank up in 1 or 2 heals. Tanks have stuff they can do to keep them alive so its not your fault if they are been lazy and to doing it. You should not have to constantly heal a tank regardless of their gear.

I play a SCH so I don't have the burst heals you do but I spend a lot of fights DPSing because I know tanks can keep them selves alive for quite some time. Long enough at the start of fight at least for them to get enough agro.

In saying that the easy way to fix this is just give skills lvls. So lvl 10 x amount of potency lvl 20 x amount and so on.

I have had this problem and my solution is use stoneskin before pull, then try to heal them with it and use regenerate and finally cures last to fill in. Stoneskin I have noticed is the ability with the least hate.
