Yoshi-P pointed out somewhere that making Dragoons invincible while jumping, would mean that all of our jump skills would have to have ridiculous cooldowns for balance reasons.
It's not too hard to find a lull where you can fit in jumps though, especially if you know the fight.

Hm. Well, that's one noob mistake that I *won't* be making.

Since apparently this person got to 50 thinking the healer's duty is to exclusively heal tanks.

If they were a Scholar and you're a White Mage, I can kinda see that. There's some pretty brutal tank damage on Ultima HM, too. Still worth trying to Succor before Tank Purges (and use Roused Whispering Dawn after) and the knockback/orb pops, though.

By the way, I have to mention that I really love the whole "two music track" thing the primals have. It makes practicing more fun when you finally hit the second track and feel like you made some real progress.

As a career healer my experience has been:

50% of the time: Super chill, tossin' heals at the tanks and maybe a bad dps. You can maybe toss in some damage here!
25% of the time: AOE damage? Mechanics? Some other buttons get hit but it's still pretty relaxed.
10% of the time: AAAAAH EVERYONE IS DYING BUT I'VE GOT THIS. I'VE GOT THIS, IT'S OKAY, I AM A PROFESSIONAL.
15% of the time: Everyone's dead because everyone wanted to imitate dragoons.

You're lucky. As a healer for me it's

30%: Doopdedoo, we're running with my regular tank who facetanks everything, spam Cure as needed, occasionally chill out and DOT something.
30%: Goddammit, dps is getting murdered due to standing in AOEs, wait, did the black mage just sleep a mob, and the dragoon just whack it, so now they're at 20% health, while the tank's health is bouncing around like a loving yo-yo? Great. I hate all of you.
10%: Oh look, the non-regular tank just died, I AM BECOME THE HEAL TANK.
10%: gently caress, SWIFTCAST+RAISE
10%: gently caress, SWIFTCAST+CUREII
19%: Out of mana, out of cooldowns. gently caress everything, pray to the RNG gods for freecure.
1%: Our DPS just died, TANK POP YOUR LB, I AM BECOME DPS.

To sum up: Fun as gently caress, but also stressful as gently caress when your partymates are bad at following marks.

(White mages in the thread, please tell me that mana management gets a wee bit easier, or at least my mana pool grows exponentially.)

Nah, we were both white mages. I wish they were a scholar though, since even if by pure accident they shielded us before tank purges I might have ran out of mana alot later and could have prevented firefall (freefall? that attack after the magitek bits) from gibbing people who already sat in 3 lasers. :v:

For comparison, the Scholar version:

50%: Summon Selene, full-time DPS, pull adds off tank as they wonder why they have to AoE threat without a Summoner.
25%: Use some of your Aetherflow stacks for Lustrate instead of Energy Drain. Roll eyes at undergeared tank.
15%: Occasionally take off Cleric Stance to Adlo your tank before returning to dps. After all, you are a healer, aren't you?
5%: Full-time tank healing because the boss hits really hard.
4%: Feebly attempt to AoE heal, because Succor is loving garbage if its shield isn't popping. Lament the strange interaction between delayed damage and Succor.
1%: gently caress.

Also, I just want to say that the 2.2 story continues Raubahn, Nanamo and Momodi's streak of being generally awesome NPCs. Those three alone have better intentions than all of Limsa combined.

What do you mean I can't date Leviathan?

On another note, are the goon FCs still having space issues? I'm considering server hopping over to y'all because I've grown sick and tired of trying to clear Ex Primals without being able to call on or group up with people who are decent at the game. In the last ten attempts;

3 groups had someone disconnect or drop during the opening cutscene.
2 groups built echo up to full 25% and still failed due to standing in AoEs.
3 groups didn't even live long enough to get rewarded with the echo.
1 group had someone get stuck in the cutscene with a black screen, who was kicked from the instance when they force d/ced. Of course this was a tank.
1 group looked promising but someone "had to go to bed" just when we started getting into the swing of it.

I never speak to my RL or FFXI friends on this server anymore so I'm considering making the jump if you're all willing to take in another Summoner/White Mage/Black Mage to feed.
