🤷🏻♂️ I main white mage, I like it’s gameplay, and like to be the support character, will admit though, kinda wish we had better attack spells, solo story quests can be long winded when all you have is some rocks to throw and a small little air current to blow about.
today when a masss of mobs attacked us i used Holy with Peace of mind - it wiped them all out in a few shots now also i tried alternating Holy then Stone back and forth - it seemed to continuously stun the boss - try it - only problem with Holy is you got to wind it up then you can do it very fast repetitions - is does not deliver massive damage but it can affect 10 or more at the same rate which is a massive amount ot total damage - assize is pretty good for one shot then you wait but it also is mass damage - so pop one in every tine it cycles - there is that little spell that removes something bad - it will work on the entire group - gets rid of the bombs on their heads - darn forget the name
FFXIV itself doesn’t “demonize” GCD healing, only the community does. Healers are expected to deal damage, but not at the expense of healing, and a lot of people forget that. Even playing optimally, your damage is going to be mediocre compared to a DPS who is also playing optimally
This is true to a point, but not at current savage tier or ultimates. If healers are not doing optimal dps, the group is in serious risk of not meeting enrage/dps checks. Healer dps matters less once ppl out-gear the content though.
Way too many people care about numbers on an unofficial website that using a tool against the ToS to collect the data. I think it's better to focus on learning/doing mechanics, keeping people alive, and if you have nothing better to do, then dps some. Most of the playerbase doesn't even do savage.
@@Tylanthia im sorry but that simply isnt true. you dont have the right mentality to be a healer in xiv. it doesnt work like that. you have to optimize your rotation in order to ensure everybodys covered and safe to a point where you get breathing room inbetween to dps. if youre just "doing mechanics and keeping people alive" then youre only doing half of your job. playing whm like that is braindead easy. if youre not dps-ing effectively in MiL ex and savage your partys gonna be screwed. plus its boring as hell. in some games the healer mainly heals because theyre designed to have constant incoming damage (but xiv isnt one of them). at least not since hw
It does work like that for most content. IDC what you do in EX/Savage/ultimates but in casual content learn the mechanics, keep everyone alive (and cover for mistakes/errors of other people), and then if you have nothing better to do, DPS. Works wonders. S-E didn't design the game around a tool that is against the ToS. Your parse is not relevant to FF14.
@@Tylanthia theres nothing to "learn" in casual content. Whm has so many get out of jail free cards that you can basically do nothing and still keep everyone alive in casual content. Your job in casual is to dps as much as possible so you can clear as fast as possible
I’m so bad at playing a healer, the past week I thought I’ll lvl conjurer for fun… it is so hard and made me respect healer mains. You’re expected to not only heal but do damage. Early levels you don’t have an aoe so you just put your dot on all of them but then when your done the tank is almost dead, you heal then… then your out of mana I’m just bad at playing healers
They're actually extremely easy in ff14. And the fun thing is at higher level its even more easy because nobody takes damage and can fully heal them with a single spell. During leveling a bit tougher because people just want to finish dungeons fast so they pull every single mob
thats because arr leveling dungeons are full of beginners who have no idea what theyre doing. and arr in general was more "healers job is to heal" oriented.you couldnt dps as much in high end arr as you are expected to later on
You don't have to deal damage, heal when people need it. Damage when they don't. You have revive for a reason Take it easy and enjoy, you'll get better
@@mrfish229they're so easy... That players need far more experience with them than dps or tank... I fear clicking off my healer jobs just to get some level skipper who can't even keep THEMSELVES alive let alone us Wall to wall is the default play style and the most fun you'll have
There is a lot of good things to WHM you will figure out in time but one thing i truly HATE about WHM is the gear even with materia boost is RAT FECES. Another complaint i have are the bosses then kill you instantly because they KNOW you are an active healer.
I know your just making fun of the class, but in all honesty people, if your afraid to be a healer because you think it might be too hard or to challenging, seriously just take up the White Mage class. This class is the MOST forgiving and its really very simple, compared to the others, imo.
I mean mines lvl 31 I haven’t touched white mage in well a while lol ngl I just want it at 90 and be done bc I’m not a healer main XD bc I am clueless and would suck as a healer but hey awesome video lol
its tough but if you get in close to the tank you can stay out of AOE's - watch the ground and your health bars - most times i get Xed is when i am far from the Tank and the Boss - if you use area heals like Medica you better stay in close because the boss hates you in particular so stay in the action spot if the crazy tank runs out then you better run too LOL - with Medica 3 you can save the whole group in 3 shots but you need good mana and use y9our mana spell regularly
Wrong now the most terrible healers you will encounter in DF is fucking sages. I thought the badness will go away once EW release passes but no. motherfuckers can't even read the tooltips and it's 6.1 already.
id rather take a any other healers other then a whm to heal me. all they know how to do is spam holy(wasting time off of the tanks mitigations) while still letting hits through between cast instead of healing. atleast sages seem to provide more dps to the team. i will say the holy spell spams would be nice if they were near the end of pulls or if the pulls start to get drawn out.
@@KissesLoveKawaii say what you want about my take. ik for a fact that i only die ever when partied with a whm. yes there are good white mages out there, but 90% of the time they are trash and only spam holy at the beginning of pulls. shit even some do it before the tank is finished pulling enemies.
@@KissesLoveKawaii and dont get me started about them placing their aoe bubbles far away from the tank and only cover the dps/healers when they can take just a second longer and place it closer.
im a WHM and i do not know what the hell you are upset about - nothing you say is familiar - but you seem to have a real emotional problem a whm is one of the most powerful players if used properly not that all are players do - well the potential is there - watch how fast the Tank dies if the healer is not on the job

Ah yes. The "elementalist" that loses their wind and earth spells. And get their first water spell at lvl 86.
I'd recommend watching the video "What It Means To Be A White Mage" it's a lore video, but it explains why this is.
They used to have aqua fluid to splash enemies away. Devine bension, tetra and asylum are water based
@@belljdr I'm talking about the most basic of water spells, Aqua. Tons of enemies have it, why not us?

No because that means that window lickers can't play healer anymore.

Thank you Square Enix, after 6.1, I can finally heal guilt free 👍
you inspired me to make a femra and be a white mage
I wana be a healer like Jester in Critical Role does more damage then healing :p
So... Whm?
I wish the wm have more defensive skills
