What else are you gonna do with your tomes? I don't know if the price will drop on the stuff, but the cap should be removed, which just means 330/340 will become the "norm". You might as well get stuff now because you are just gonna get it later.

So my WHM is now at 57. Enjoying the game of casting as few healing spells and as many Holys as possible (and it doesn't hurt that Holy has the best sound effect in the game). I think I've mostly got the hang of it, but a few questions: 1. Under what circumstances should I use Cure III? I guess in principle the answer is when I can save a GCD by using it instead of Cure II and then Medica (II), but that seems like a really niche case. 2. Similarly, is there ever any reason to use Medica rather than Medica II? 3. Should I be using Assize on cooldown, or saving it for moments when I need the MP, or something else? 4. When is the correct time to slap a Regen on the tank? I've generally been doing it as they pull since doing it any earlier would waste HoT ticks. But occasionally this leads to me grabbing aggro from the tank. Should I be worried about that?

I think I've mostly got the hang of it, but a few questions: Cure 3 is good to use in situations where your entire team is bunched together and needs a quick heal. i.e: after a move that requires a stack is the #1 example. 2. If you've already used Medica 2 and still need more healing Medica is better because a lot of Medica 2's power is baked into the HoT. Medica 1 is stronger but without the HoT aspect. 3. Generally use it on cooldown. Some fights have moments where it's nice to have the heal but you'll have to learn them. 4: Don't do Regen until after the tank has grabbed aggro. Regen will steal aggro tics and make everything more annoying. Just wait until they have aggro.

I think I've mostly got the hang of it, but a few questions: 1. Stack mechanics are a prime time to use Cure III, otherwise you're generally better off with Medicas. 2. Cost and time. Medica is way cheaper to cast than Medica 2. So learning when you can Medica instead of Medica 2 and get basically the same results will help you a lot in terms of MP efficiency. Also if you need to top people up quickly two Medicas will heal more in that span of time that Medica 2 will. 3. On Cooldown unless the boss can't be hit. 4. When they stop. If you really need to spot heal them while they're pulling then use Tetra (You'll get it at 60) or, dare I say, Swiftcast a Cure 2. And then yell at them to Sprint when pulling if they didn't.

You might as well get it now. All the new gear will be on some sort of cap, so it will take quite a while to replace everything with the new stuff. Maybe prioritize gear you'd normally replace last. If you're sure you're going to work on the new chest piece first, maybe leave that at 320 and get 340 boots/gloves etc.

If your MP is less than 100%, you need the MP.

I think I've mostly got the hang of it, but a few questions: 1. When you need more immediate (ie not regen ticking over 30 seconds) AoE healing than Medica 1 gives you and people are sufficiently clustered. 2. When people are too spread out for Cure 3 but you need healing now rather than in a little while. The instant heal is bigger than Medica 2, and sometimes the regen just isn't fast enough. Or people other than the tank aren't going to be taking constant damage so the regen on them would be pointless, making Medica 2 overkill that just wastes MP and generates extra threat for no reason compared to Medica 1. 3. Use it on cooldown unless you know you're going to have MP problems before it would come off cooldown. 4. A couple GCDs after they pull, so it's early in the fight but after the tank has a safe threat lead. Threat is something you should worry about, even if it's not at the top of your list of concerns.

Start running meters and you'll see people use medica II way too often when a medica is enough and end up with 90% overheal.

When I have medica II/regen both up on a tank I can ignore healing for 20-30 seconds and do nothing but dps. Toss in good asylum usage and I never have to cast a cure spell. Also medica II will keep dumb dps that get hit by bad things or raidwide aoes healed up without any actual effort on the part of the whm.

Toss in good asylum usage and I never have to cast a cure spell. there are a ton of fights, even in exdr, where you can keep the tank up with only incidental healing from asylum/tetra/assize if the dps is reasonably good like if you get the (admittedly unlikely) case where the dps never messes up in the training dummy fight in temple of the fist, there's no need to ever cast a healing spell

Medica II becomes superfluous the further you get above level 50, but it's still handy.

Almost every drat time, it was because they had used Medica 2 for everyone and Regen on the tank and had that poo poo ticking for a good six seconds or so before the boss became targetable again.

Half of Dracula posted:early Stormblood developments: So we just give up and go to Japan instead, hey great job guys, good hustle I mean, say what you will about Alphy, booknerd that he is, I'm pretty sure he's read all of Sunrito Tzurito's works and could quote to you the Nymian Art of War by heart. "the way to avoid what is strong is to strike what is weak," "strike into vacuities," "attack objectives the enemy must rescue" and so forth. In that sense, attempting to pull the Garleans apart at two ends by re-opening a front elsewhere makes perfect tactical sense.
