i feel like the most important tip is to make sure you're always in the healer's healing range
looking at every phys-ranged off on mars rn
Nah, ranged are 420 light-years away.
"It'll be fine."
- Avere
To be fair to Avere, it sounds like Edda was a bad healer who was standing in Timbuktu rather than anywhere near him.
Though at the same time, get heals between pulls and don't chain pull.
Also don't be an abuser and deserve to be decapitated like he did.
SGE got it so good with the range buff. Both physis(2) and kera got their healing range increased rather than just the mit/buff and those are the two core heals at 78+. I feel a small bit of joy every time I go to use kera and don't have to stand in the exact middle pixel between two people who are both a radius away from that point.
One thing I think contributes to the perception of “tank not getting healed” is shields. It’s hard to tell glancing at your normal HP bar when you have a shield up and how much shield you have on. It was only when I started playing shield healers that I understood how shields are communicated to the player. While I think what is there is serviceable I believe something a little more obvious might be beneficial in getting more people to understand how shields work and how important they can be because even some DPS have a shield OGCD ability like Manaward. Now this could be just me but I feel this would be a net positive and encourage people to use these abilities more.
Did you know that they only added the indicator for shield size to party list in Shadowbringers release? Imagine trying to figure out how much shield you had before that (You couldn't). You only the amount healed as a text and the buff icon to work with.
An idea for another video is how to off-tank for those who are just getting into tanking outside of dungeons. When should you stand next to the other tank, and when should you stand with the party? How do you tank swap? How should you be doing your mitigation? Should you put stance on after the first part of the fight, or just be prepared to provoke upon the tank's death? I see these questions coming up a lot with newer tanks and think a video would be cool!
As a healer main, the biggest thing imo is being in range of heals and mits. It was especially a problem before SHB when the range of heals and bubbles were much smaller, and even though with all the healing range buffs have made it easier, it's still something to keep in mind of especially if you're a ranged or caster. For example in TOP (before the recent healing range buff), it was a nightmare trying to heal in Hello World because the mechanic makes everyone spread out, but it was much easier to heal efficiently when everyone went in after every Latent Defect . Many heals and mits (as well as non healer mits like dark missionary and samba) are/were only 15y and you should make a conscious effort to be within that range unless you really need to be out of range. Ofcourse it's the healers job to position themselves well too, but all too often have I encountered ranged just forgetting to move near the party and just hang out in narnia.
2 useful tips that will scare your enemies:
1. be in range and sight of your healer as much as possible
2. when you and more poeple got hit by something avoidable or unavoidable cuddle a little bit with your healer until you have enough health and your healer will love you for that 😇
Yes, there are situations when you shouldn't do that because of mechanics, but in general the 2 tips should help 😋
Addition to timing your raise, for mechanics.
You are immune for 5 seconds to Damage, not to Knockbacks.
So if mechanic is a knockback, be aware that you should not raise before it goes off or boss will just yeet you.
And YES, Healers are not meant to HEAL you , they are meant to keep you ALIVE.
Combine this with, actually stay within our range and you have a far better time.
These ones usually only vex me in savage.
Where dps either complain they not topped (while next mechanic not even gonna chip 20% of their hp bar if they perform it correctly).
Or they not topped when needed, cause they shukuchied the hell out of range before a single heal could go off. (p8s high concept was infamous for this one pre mit range buff)
Reminder to all my fellow Monks that Mantra is a good button to press during big damage windows, especially in those "have to heal the whole party to full" mechanics. Also, if you do have strong self healing that doesn't eat into your DPS and the healer looks like they will be busy for a while, feel free to heal yourself and spare them some headaches. As a Monk, Mantra+Second Wind+Bloodbath can get you into a comfortable spot while the healer worries about the tanks or other raises
People sleep on that move
If you get Wings in P10S you can pop Riddle of Earth with Bloodbath and the self-heal is so strong that the healer can just pretend you don't exist :)
So don't forget about Riddle of Earth, either
I picked monk back up after a veeeeery long time and had this move somewhere weird on my hotbar and completely forgot about it until I randomly spotted it and was like "wait what is that" lol
I think my biggest other tip for the newer players is the biggest help you can do if you're struggling is to check your own gear, especially I've found in stuff which hard syncs your item level. I had a run of Stone Vigil (Hard) where I was healing a Dark Knight who was dying super fast because the best stuff on them was from Aurum Vale, not to mention a Bard wearing the Artifact gear still. I had to micromanage them so hard during the pulls as they weren't even close to that dungeon's sync point I basically had Bene rolling on cooldown. The tank did everything right in dungeon, but their gear was holding them back.
I think I have this problem right now in EW, just finished 6.0 and have some problems in dungeons as DRK, I still pull wall to wall, manage my mitigation, tdn and abyssal drain
@@sweet_xylitol7814 i've found drk is a little awkward in particular as it's a barrier tank more than a regen tank like the others, and you can see the drastic difference in the power of Oblation versus what the other tanks got at 82. It's a fine skill in a vacuum, but bloodwhetting makes everything else look weak.
The number one addition to this is, if you are ranged DPS, magical or physical, DON'T stand in the middle of nowhere. This is a good way to be missed by AoE heals. And by the Twelve, please don't move outside of a healer's bubble. We put those things down for a reason, they'll either lower the damage taken by unavoidable raid wide damage, help with healing following raid wide damage or both in the case of Collective Unconscious and Sacred Soil (and Kerachole, but that'll snapshot everyone so there's no walking out of it if you're hit by it)
Stick around your healers, especially in alliance raids i often see dps are nowhere in aoe heal range.
Healers mostly stick around the bosses hitbox, in order to get an aoe heal on the tank, you gonna miss out if you're out of range, all of a sudden you die and cry "wHeRe hEaLs?
No.1 rule of being healed is taking 1 or 2 more steps to be within range of Asylum/Sacred Soil
Dev extended the range for reasons, and it is not to make one move away out of it.
Especially after the radius expansion, it's not common for one to be placed poorly enough to be unsafe to stand in.
Tanks: for the love of god, no matter how low you get, do not stop doing damage in order to heal yourself. Invuln if you're really that scared, but you shouldn't ever be touching gcd heals like clemency unless something is horribly wrong (like a dead healer).
One time in roulettes I had a level 80 tank spam clemency in every pack because I was doing my job right and was keeping him low. The enemies died so slowly that, counterintuitively, the tank was actually taking WAY MORE DAMAGE and made keeping him alive way harder. I was dumping all my resources on him the moment they came off cooldown, and yet I was still sweating and struggling to keep this guy alive. Each and every w2w pull was a living nightmare and took forever.
And yet, since he didn't see me cast very many gcd heals since he was watching the castbar (y'know, bc by 80, 95% of your heals are ogcd or instant cast), this guy had the AUDACITY to ask me for MORE HEALS.
Do not be this guy. Please.... please just trust your healer and keep doing damage. I promise we're watching your healthbar and we're just trying to time our heals to get the most out of them
I find keeping tanks at about 75% health keeps them calm. Also have had one too many times when a tank was 50% with no mitigations on and the trash mobs decide to crit all at once or just decide to AA all at the same time and drop the tank, especially in earlier content when everyone has less health.
@@AussieBPsycho if they don't mit that's their own damn fault. Keeping tanks at around 30% helps you get the most out of all your abilities without any risk, but I often go lower when I have big heal nukes I wanna use. Overhealing wastes damage and makes the pull longer + more difficult for everyone.
Damn that sounds rough. I worry about two things with my tanking. Mitigation rotation and damage. If I'm not in range of a heal that's on me. If I over reach that's on me. But that being said.......some Tanks have exceptional self healing (Gunbreaker / Warrior). We can make healer's lives easier from time to time an that's what I try to do. Focus on my role but try an make your healing experience as stress free as possible. o/
@@AussieBPsychoI started levelling my tanks recently and found the healers I've run with to heal me after just taking a scratch. I wish they'd let me get low tbh.
I cast reprisal as soon as I take damage, then find I have no reason to cast rampart because my hp never goes low enough to justify it.
Yes! Thank you! I have a panic "yes" to any rez going out that I'm just now learning how to overcome. Timing is everything
Also, be patient if you die. A healer will normally not res you immediately during cool downs unless there is a window in the battle and it's worth the healer's dps loss. There's a lot of thought into who gets a heal and res and when. Healer is dps like everyone else but your DPS is not limited to your own attacks.
If you enjoy puzzle solving, give healer a try. ⚕️
Playing on console/controller as PLD, anytime i consider trying it cause sounds interesting, i remember how panicky and impossible it feels to timely target allies in the heat of the action for even little stuff like Cover or whatever. I always commendation healers in the party 🫡
Bloodbath is so insanely underrated. Especially in AoE. And if you're dragoon using life surge in AoE with bloodbath, you almost heal to full with just that
Legit. If the tank drops during trash pulls, melee can pop Arms + BB and usually last long enough for the tank to rez and take them back. It's _awesome._
It's so satisfying when I kite around as a DPS while buying time for the healer to get the tank back up because blood bath, arms length, and whatever the heck else I may have really do go a long way while I'm running around. I may get low, but as long as I survive or the tank manages to take back control even if I go down, then the effort was totally worth it 💪
You forgot to tell the ranged not to stand in f'ing Timbuktu, outside the range of aoe heals. I'm looking at you, BLMs who nail their feet to the edge of the arena, and you, BRDs and DNCs who run laps around the outside edge. This is probably not a problem in high end content, but I mostly run dungeons and often want to smack these type of ranged dps. I get that BLMs don't want to stand where they're going to be affected by others' player targeted AOE. That's fine. However, there's a difference between standing a little apart and standing at max distance from the boss, the melee, the tank...and the healer.
Really good to "see" you back in the swing of a tutorial vid homie!
Thanks for the video. Hope you are feeling better. I am a big fan!
I have no tips, just want to tell you how much I appreciate your videos, and wish you a merry Christmas, and a happy new year!
The amount of time I've been in Expert Roulette with Warrior, use 0 mitigiation because Bloodwhetting is gonna top me off in one GCD or as a Dark Knight saying "I will use invuln on pulls" before and have the healer just spend everything to keep me above 80% is too much and I'm frankly a bit tired of it. I get wanting to keep people topped off (I'm even guilty of this, I love using an oGCD group wide aoe heal right after an aoe) but bruh, if I'm at 50% hp, I'm not gonna die to the next two hits, especially if I'm mitigated or ready to use a move to keep me alive, just DPS to your heart's content my guy.
Yeah, I try to establish this mindset with the "how to heal" guides I've done. So many healers I get, no matter how often I warn then ahead of time of my Invuln... I get spammed. Like, I'm dying on purpose! Let me do the thing!
@@WeskAlber I can understand on other tanks being concerned but on Warrior ? Buddy I AM the healer, you're the third dps in this group, go do damage already !
The worst I get are SCH. They drop an excog on me, and before I even get to 50% HP for excog to pop, they start kitchen sinking me. Lustrates, fairy tether, another Adlo, like wtf? Excog finally pops as I'm sprinting to the first pack of the next w2w just to have the process repeat the entire dungeon. I start using Bloodwhetting at like 80% just so I can use the damn thing.
@lolRNG tbf, it's sometimes nice to not let excog pop too early sometimes. Especially since excog is more or less the last line of defense for scholar. Spamming adlo is awful, but if excog is popping off of sub 50% and the tank isn't using an invuln you are actively bleeding out and you can expect to die soon, lol. Sch has no burst healing it's all just mits and lil bits of regens to try and prevent you from getting low to begin with. I'd rather throw an excog that doesn't get used than to not throw an excog and then you tank immediately and fall on the floor.
Always appreciate you Wesk.
Thank you for this video. Idk how many times I've been healing a PLD or RDM and I can just hear them thinking "hey healer, I can't help but notice that I'm _NOT_ at full health right now"
Based on what? What are they doing to indicate that?
@@HaykInWonderland Healing themselves if I let them sit at 90-80% for more than one GCD.
@@RockR277 if that's not an exaggeration, then yeesh
@@HaykInWonderland It might've been an exaggeration on my part to say "idk how many". That makes it sound like a whole lot when it's really just a few people here and there. But yeah every now and then I get PLDs that whip out the self clemency so frequently that my excogs never get a chance to proc on them. It's less often an issue with RDMs, but I have seen some that will use many of their gcds to vercure the whole party if I leave us at around 90% after a raidwide.
Thanks, very useful. I’ll admit to having not done some of these things just due to lack of this knowledge. Now I know!
This one might be TOO basic, but there's one thing that applies to the healer like accidentally pulling aggro in a dungeon relates to the tank;
Don't run AWAY from the healer if you need healing.
Prioritizing making sure AoE damage centered on you don't hit your teammates comes first, of course, but panicking and running away from the tank and healer if a mob is on you doesn't help.
It's still important. Although, they have increased the range of AoE heals. But that's one of the first things I learned since I main a ranged DPS. Don't stay too far away from the healer, and don't be out of the line of sight if you can avoid it. I often just follow the healer assuming they know the mechanics, so I am automatically safe :P
Oh yes... I mostly tank. Once a DPS had a single mob on them, not a big deal, could have grabbed the aggro back in seconds iF THEY DIDN'T TURN AROUND AND RAN BACK THE WAY WE CAME lol. Took a while for them to come back to the rest of the party (mob still in tow). At least they lived but like... why? lol
@@EchoXVincescooby do rp?
Thank you for the shoutout! ;w; Love the vidya
Not gonna lie. First video I've seen from you, so not sure what to expect. Saw the title, definitely thought it was a troll video. Actual educational video, gg.
Information long-timers take for granted, but is important for newbies to know. I'll be sure to put this in the list of videos I give mates I'm getting into the game!
Another reason you might sometimes find yourself missing 20% hp, even with unavoidable damage coming up, is abilities that apply shields often also restore a bit of hp in the process and are much more efficient when you're not fully topped off prior to usage. Esp in 8 player content, regen healer might be ok with not topping up knowing their cohealing shield healer will be applying shields for an upcoming mechanic.
I'd also like to add you should pay attention to any regens you have on you. I often see people waste their second wind when they've already got a regen on them that will take care of them.
As a melee dps main, I like making *some* use of Second Wind and Bloodbath. Obviously it's very small healing, but I figure it's not going to be get used much at all, so might as well use them if it isn't slowing me down. I'll use it if I notice my hp is dropping a lot during a boss or trash pull, like there's unavoidable damage that the healer is just having a hard time keeping up with, so I try to lighten the load a little. When I get raised, I obviously wait for the invulnerability of course, but once it's about to run out, if I still have low hp cause the healer needed to keep the tank up or something, I use those role actions first so I can heal myself up that little bit once the invuln is gone.
I also Feint and Addle when I can lol, Feint for most tank busters, Addle for most raidwides
I intentionally ignore teammates standing miles away in Alliance raids.
We're at level 80 raids, you should know by now to stand near the group and healers.
good video. i would add that as a ranged, after you are done with your spread position, try to slidecast back to the middle of the room if possible so the healers AOE can hit you. Many buffs are 30 yalms now, but WHMs Cure3 still has very limited range.
Also as a RDM, VerCure has saved me many times from raidwides since caster tend to have the lowest HP of the group.
Vercure isn't useless, just often misused. It is an excellent tool during downtime, and in the rare case you are forced to be more than 30y away from your healer, it can save you. I vercure on almost every downtime opportunity for that dualcast the next time the enemy is targetable.
If you have it:
Second Wind and Bloodbath are fantastic to fall back on in the event that you don't want to wait too long but know that your healer will get around to you eventually. Don't use them at the same time--or at least be aware that you have no backup when you do use them both at the same time. I typically try to keep only one on cooldown. Bloodbath is better for trash/wall to wall pulls.
If you're a goon, Life Surge is also a fantastic top-off.
3:19, holy fuck I HATE when that shit happens. CLEARLY had HG up, CLEARLY had enough to soak damage before HP falling to zero. grrrr, its stupid and the biggest flaw of FFXIV 'slow combat'. 7:54 no, GOOD RDM, get that dualcast ready while transition. heh
HG has a long wind-up. That was me not taking that into account, not the game
Haha, I was the terribad Summoner in the Jimbo group who got hit by stupid stuff and panic rezzed a healer with both tanks dead before getting punched in the face.
Glad we unintentionally got you footage for this, and great video!
Basically everyone missed those orbs, you're fine lol. I think the healer raise was even the correct call. Had you gone for a tank we might have wiped.
I feel like you should mention people who stand as far away as possible. standing on the edge of the arena does not dodge any incoming damage, it just makes it alot harder to heal you
Here’s the thing with the holding on raise too. It’s a full minute. If there’s any mechanic you suck at and you died prior and you’re not needed at the time? Wait out the mechanic. Hell there are some fights with having raise cheese strats. Looking at you Goodbye, World.
Be in range! A healer typically sits right behind the boss with melee or just behind melees, stay close.
Also,
In dungeons…if you die outside a boss room even in the middle of a trash pull, just release and walk back. You get no debuffs(vs the huge dps down from rez debuff), all your cooldowns back, and with shortcuts is generally as fast as waiting for the healer to stabilize the tank and then rez. If you’re the tank, just release. As the healer I will kite back to you respawning which will help me stay alive and you get back sooner with all your mit ready again.
When a healer puts down a bubble such as Asylum, don't run out of it unless the bubble isn't placed well or you need to dodge something.
I’m sure this is one you’re going to hear a lot but I messed up once by doing the same critical mistake, you need to be within the healer’s range to be healed. Stay within melee range of the boss close to your party for a while after a raidwide goes off so the healers can AoE heal you even if the next mechanic sends you elsewhere
Range is literally an illusion. If you are not close enough to slap the boss on the ass then you are not in range for healing. Black Mage being the only real exception, because it's Black Mage.
Then there's wall bosses, but you'd be gathering near or around the arrow on their targeting ring.
I feel like i only run into trouble with healing on lvl x10 dungeons like bardam's mettle, at least those kinds of dungeons were always the true test of my healing/tanking until i got the hang of it.
Blood for the blood -loli- *LILY*
I love tanking and my favorite thing in dungeons is when healers gamble with my health bar and wait till I'm at ~20% or less and then slap a big heal on me. It's the number one way I know I'm playing with a good healer while also loving it as a tank myself. As long as I'm above 1 hp I'm vibing!
I like how you do have a gamepad hotbar, but it's just nothing but LB 😆👍
Also just, don't forget to throw out your job specific mitigation. Bards, Dancers, Monks and probably more I don't have everything memorised to just throw out at a moments notice have good things to use to mitigate damage. And Black Mages, Samurais, Ninjas, Reapers and probably more have good personal mitigations. Though admittedly I'm not always sure when to Manaward myself. Or I do it too late and get lold by animation lag xP
the only time I've used vercure was when the healer seemed to be struggling I used it as a sort of don't worry about me Think I've used riase more oftem
Don't stand in another time zone and assume you're close enough for the healer to top you up.
i had a pld in a dungeon who kept using clemency the moment they take damage.
i was a scholar.
I gave up on healing entirely after the third excog and let his mp handle it
you forgot to mention. be close to party and not be in Timbuktu.
Nah this came a bit too late because there was a SMN who kept eating all the AoEs & btching about not getting healed.
I should've give him this video instead of rescuing him into the suzaku hole in the middle 😂
Wake up honey, I'm a simple man and there's a new WeskAlber video to upvote I see.
Trust your viewers, they know what they're doing, stop caring about that little bar, your subscription level is high enough to survive what comes next.
Ff14 is such a fun game, i miss it.
As a healer main, thank you for this video. You are rezed where the healer was when they rezed you. So you maybe rezing into a spot where the healer was safe and now is where an aoe is being dropped. Please figure out where you are before doing anything to that removes your invulnerability buff. I throw out my rez so I can get the cooldown on swiftcast rolling, especially if I see multiple people needing rezes throughout a fight. I think there is 59sec on the rez so wait if needed, the dps drop sucks but if you die again that is even worse for your dps. Don't know how many times I see a person take a rez, hit a skill before I can get a heal on them and then die. Let me tell you as a healer, I notice those things and my rez priority will change.
When im white mage, i normally heal DPSs with regen, cuz if they are dodging, its all they need.
But I had a Tower at Paradigms Breach, where during the final final boss, one of the members got yeeted, so I ressed them right then, but they ressed into the trains and got trained. I felt bad that I didn't move to the tracks to ress em, but they shoulda waited for the trains first.
As a Healer, I wish more players remembered that even Healers are expected to do dps.
i didn't know that i wasn't allowed to sprint after being rezed
If you stand in the orange circles, you'll get a heal! 👍
In dungeons, when you hear the "bing!" letting you know you're being targeted, don't run behind a wall to LOS your healer.😂
If I play RPR and die due to not paying enough attention, I try to heal myself as much as I can, at least after these 5 seconds of invulnerability, since I am giving extra work to the healer by playing badly. Otherwise, I barely use the heals, I just trust the healers. Of course DPS can just use their rotation to gain heals too. Make sure to keep these buffs up. Watch Wesk's videos about how to do that :)
Thing is, Second Wind gets a mention here as something to use. The problem is stuff that is GCD
Feint (Melee DPS, lv. 22+) and Addle (Caster DPS, lv. 8+) are mitigations that help in any content -- but they are most useful for bosses. Feint on a target gives debuff of -10% physical damage/-5% magic damage for 10 seconds. Addle is the opposite; -10% magic damage/-5% physical damage, also for 10 seconds. Ranged physical doesn't get their 10% general mitigations until lv. 56 (MCH, DNC) or lv. 62 (BRD). So yeah, your SAM or BLM doesn't have to be _totally_ selfish!
If you read past the break, here's your Fun Fact reward:
Ultima Weapon in Porta Decumana does ONLY Magic damage. Even the auto attacks are magic!
Still here? Have another! If you want to position on one of Ultima Weapon's Aetherspheres during that attack, go to any of the points of Ulty's minimap icon, put it in the hollow of your own position icon arrow, and you'll end up within a few steps of the... well, it's kind of a silly attack and I don't think I've ever seen a party die to it, but I've averted a couple of close calls by taking on both pairs myself.
i think healers should rez asap to recover the CD sooner its the job the dead player decide when to accept the rez, 1 minute is more than enough
As a bard, I always say my goal is to have the healer forget I exist. Dodging puddles, handling mechs, keeping things clean so the only time I need to be healed, is because EVERYONE needs group heals.
I know this wasn't the point of the video, but it is annoying to run into healers who prioritize reviving FIRST, healing SECOND. Bonus points if they hardcast a revive, then cancel because they need to move for a mechanic, and all that time, they failed to revive and also failed to heal. More bonus points if they swiftcast revive a teammate, then immediately proceed to hardcast revive another teammate without first healing the newly revived teammate. I'm a healer main, and I don't trust other healers in duty finder.
Old programmer joke -> DEC 25 = OCT 31. Thanks for the advice/video - this is a great reference for some of my IRL friends.
And then there are the healers who will yell and insult a Red Mage for using Vercure to get Dualcast when there's nothing to attack. Trust people to do their jobs, check your ego, and work for a smooth run - I really don't see why that's *such* a huge ask.
How to be healed: Yes, I know you're a ranged DPS, but you don't have to be standing at max range. Stand within the AoE heal range of your healer because if it's a choice between healing the tank or running out into west narnia to drop a single target on you because you can't stay with the rest of the group, the healer is sticking with the tank.
Any time I'm healing a PLD and they use Clemency I take it as an insult.
instructions unclear, was not healed
The amount of times ive rezzed a healer who refused to heal themselves is crazy
The co-healer should always heal a healer that goes down, they shouldn't be healing themselves. 1, it breaks the rez immunity to heal yourself, so you risk dying and waste mit. 2, you get raised with almost no MP, so if you spend that MP healing yourself you can't help heal the party until. 3, if you've just been rezzed then the co-healer's swiftcast is probably now on CD. That means you're on rez duty for anyone else who's gone down, so you need every point of MP.
oGCDs though. But also, if you use your invuln, it won't matter if you have to cut it short. Use your invuln!
@@SodamanFn so you as a healer shouldn't use your tools at your disposal to take care of yourself? Especially in recovery scenarios i have enough on my plate than worry about a healer who can heal themselves. Also if you just rezzed you dont have mp so what rezzing are you doing. That mp would be better spent on aoe heals or single targets.
Also - to anybody who does this - Don't shit on healers; not every body is knowledgeable on each and every dungeon.
As a DPS I save my self-heals for when I have taken some avoidable damage so the healer can stay focused on the tank and unavoidable damage. Me hitting Second Wind or Bloodbath (or DNC's heal dance) is more me trying to signal to the healer that I'm fine and they don't have to waste time on me rather than me panicking. I hope it doesn't come across as me not trusting or nagging the healer.
Difference is those are free to use and should be. Vercure isn't
Im just going to spam vercure, I heard that helps ;)
This is the same as a paladin spamming clemency. If I see you doing it, I will no longer heal you apart from aoe heals cause you obviously want to heal yourself. Also, if you just got rezzed then definitely don't do this. Or do if you just can't get enough of the sweet release of death.
@@rfygband It was sarcasm but it doesn't seem good to stop healing people that are nervous either :P
Yeah, if you're refusing to do the thing you signed up to do to try to make a "point", you're not helping the group meet its goal or teaching anyone to be a better player. Trust people to do their jobs, check your ego, and work for a smooth run - and especially don't be pointlessly ineffective and shitty.
@@tsbulmerSpiteful role irl overrides Healer role in game
9:29 Imagine preaching using CDs while not using cover/intervention on sprout dps that is about to die as OT PLD with full gauge
Few issues there:
I'm not saying use CDs here, I'm saying "Dodge AoEs" which if anything you're saying is a condemnation of said newbie who got to 80 without learning that. Intervention wouldn't have saved them from 5 vulns because it is damage that would kill from Max HP. Nor would have Addle/Feint saved them. Notice the Reprisal that fell off? That was mine. I used on the Dynamics Cast because I wasn't sure if the damage snapped on that cast, or the actual AoE landing. I further thought it would last until the AoE landed, I was wrong. So I even DID mitigate. Which is the next sentence, not that one.
I thought they were on the other side of the boss - too far to cover. No, I'm an idiot, that's just the MT.
What I didn't realize was they were one of the people running away from the boss - something a melee should never do. Even if I did use Cover, they still would have died.
I was too busy panicking that 3 people all ran the exact same direction and were about to die (one of them made it out alive) because in this video I mention mistakes happen, and even show me making another mistake with bad HG timing.
I am hardly an expert at every job. My main criticism of Cover has always been "without pre-planning, you need to be really good to recognize the split second Cover is needed." In that split second, I was busy worrying about the mechanic and said people all about to die together. I am no god PLD, and I never claimed to be.
I didn't even know they had 5 Vulns until Editing. One, sure. Five? No. So until I began editing this video, there was no reason for me to even attempt to Cover. They would survive the AoE as is designed in that case. I thought they died for the same reason as the SMN - the NIN stacked with them. Because notice the SMN definitely should have survived even with a vuln. The NIN killed them.
It's easy to point at mistakes in a recording and say "lol he's just preaching." Meanwhile the mistakes I did include are to reinforce that "shit happens, just stay calm and carry on" so that situations like this don't even happen. It's a lot more "preachy" to blame me for the NIN dying to 5 vuln stacks AND overlapping AoEs with the SMN. The power of hindsight is far stronger than reacting to a NIN thinking they're a BRD.
If the healer really wanted to heal me, they would have rescued me
Also, stop running out of Sacred Soil and equivalent skills. Not every circle on the ground is trying to kill you, and you're actively making everybody's lives more difficult.
4 player content, accepting a rez as a tank, remember to provoke the boss. You died, so you lost all the aggro you had on boss, so its gonna be attacking the healers/dps.
Same with co-tanks, if main tank died, use Provoke on boss.
As an off tank you should always be #2 in aggro list anyways incase main tank dies so boss automatically attacks you. Turn your tank stance on about 20 seconds into the fight, watch the aggro metter not to accidental steal aggro from main tank. turn it off just in case or use Shirk on main tank.
