Also I'm sure I'm not alone in this problem but I'm getting Jobitis and it sucks. I've solidified WHM as my main role but everytime I level something else for fun I get to like 30 and then think about how cool that other job looks...Maybe I should level that instead... :negative:

So apparently not only can you get an Atma from a failed FATE, you dont even have to get bronze. A guildie of mine has been testing this by running in and tagging single mobs then leaving. He's obtained 2 Atmas now this way.

EDIT: Actually it turns out simply hitting an enemy once gets you bronze. And since there's about 50 people running around completing them for me, I don't even have to worry about them failing.

What region are you in that has more than one fate going on at any given time? I've generally found that roving atma bands keep the world picked pretty clean.

Anybody mind helping me out with my white mage? I'm having some mana problems, and I was wondering what I should do to get the most out of what I have. I'm already using freecure and shroud as effectively as I can. I was thinking of resetting my attributes, but I'm not sure what combination would make for the most mana-efficient healing. Any suggestions?

You should never be running out of mana on a WHM. Are you using cure 2 instead of cure? Don't. Cure 2 is for oh poo poo situations or when freecure is up. Otherwise stick with cure and regen. And what do you mean reset your attributes? All your points should be in mind for WHM.

Stoneskin or whatever it's called can give you a bit of a breather. I've found that if I'm spamming Cure 2 its because the tank's gear sucks for the dungeon.

New 50 drg question: Positioning on trash in dungeons, especially hard modes. I have the damnedest time taking out adds on bosses efficiently because I can't get behind something that's tracking me. Getting heavy thrust is fine, but impulse drive is a bitch because even running through the front to the back of a mob ends up as a flank hit 95% of the time. I can stun after HT but I tend to need those to interrupt a boss. Is there a consistent way to land ID from the back on something I've got aggro on?

I- I don't even know what you just called me!
It hardly ever matters in most dungeons anyways.

If the tank is ignoring the mob its because it has little enough HP that you dont need to hit it very hard or if it does your tank is poo poo and you shouldnt have aggro.

If the tank hasn't picked up the add it's probably because they expect it to die so quickly it doesn't matter. Losing havy thrust is annoying, but just do your full thrust combo and it'll die. If you're especially worried, hit the boss with one last heavy thrust before splitting off.

Yeah very few adds need the chaos thrust combo simply because they won't live long enough to get all the ticks. Just full thrust them down.

Stoneskin is the least mp efficient spell that WHM has unless the tank vastly outgears you. It has its uses, but mp conservation isn't one of them.

I've only been using cure 2 when freecure is up or the tank is losing health faster than I can keep him alive. Definitely gotta fix my attributes though if they were all supposed to go into mind. Once I started running out of MP I thought piety might help more than mind, so I ended up at 20 mind/10 piety. I think it gave me like 70 extra mana or something dumb like that, so that's definitely something.

In turn 2 it helps keep the debuff stacks from hitting the tank as much.

And that job would be a bit more pleasant if "off GCD" abilities were actually off GCD, instead of some weird "doesn't trigger one but still is on the GCD." Nothing is worse than hitting Maim or something right when an enemy needs stunned and having to sit on your thumb like a dumbass waiting to stun it. Is this a lag thing, or is it just the game's mechanics? I'm using WTFast so I assume the latter, and cooldowns are the same way where I basically have to mash on them to get them to work and lord help me if I'm trying to activate several in quick succession. Fix your poo poo, SE.

Its a game mechanic: all abilities seem to have a innate cooldown before you can use another ability, regardless of it being on or off-GCD.

And that wouldn't be so bad, if it weren't for the fact that Brutal Swing appears to stun at the END of the animation, instead of instantly.
