Three days into the expansion and I've already been kicked from a party for not having enough HP as a tank. Great change SE, tanks doing too much damage really needed fixing.

I mean, were you dying to a pull or a boss, or did they look at your HP and just decide you should have more? Not enough detail here for anyone to honestly comment.

Let me tell you it's really cool seeing people dogpile me for getting treated lovely by pubbies.

Come on man, dogpiled? It's three posters, and one of them is Mord. They don't even count as human. (Source: they logged into FC chat on Sunday and mocked people for trying to do the MSQ. "lol @ everyone who spammed Raubahn" IIRC. gently caress off)

You said the healer didn't do any dps; was he also not healing, or did you have an honest healer and still die?

Honest healers often don't understand how to do that well, either. Just did Susano with a SCH who spammed Physick.

Except SB actively encourages good healers to DPS even more and optimize DPS like crazy due to the lack of cleric stance.

Unless you get one of these poo poo-tiers as your healing support, then you gotta work twice as hard! :argh:

I'm looking into this game as a new MMO as my interest in WoW wanes, and I usually play healers. I've seen this "honest healer" thing pop up a few times, would you mind explaining what that means?

The more I play Summoner, the more I realize the problem why it's so boring.

The changes to Scholar and Summoner are seriously depressing. With a lot of jobs they did well simplifying them while focusing on what makes them great. They were heavy handed with SCH&SMN, and it shows.

They were! They were similar to XIV's RDM in that they had some spells and could support heal. RDM in XIV's Raise is unique, though.

Is this a general problem with failing to get out of AoEs in time? If so you might want to turn on "legacy movement" in your character settings - I didn't discover this until several months after I started playing and it made things enormously easier.

So I'm a SMN main who hasn't even bothered doing the quest to unlock SCH yet, but these DPS queue times are tempting me to pick it up. What are the best things to run to get the hang of healing in this game? Obviously I'd start with Hall of the Novice and then Sastasha, but what should I do after that to make sure I'm ready to do Expert Roulette, Trials, etc?

Just keep doing story and job quests. Be sure to check out the 50 and 60 dungeons!

Running all 4 raids to get 8 people the tokens they want is really freakin' exhausting. My personal pro-strat is 'need on whatever I want, make no bones about if I get something or not. unless it's a chain/bolt, those are the most translatable tokens GDI why didn't I get a chain or bolt that run.'

I don't think you need to do them all at once, or even as a full group - even rolling in as a stack of six means you have a much higher chance of getting what you want than going in by yourself.

Like it doesn't even have to be a set, static time. It's just weird to me that there's such a large pool of people on excal allegedly willing to help yet I see people in this thread complaining about solo queuing multiple times and coming out empty handed.

Goons are bad at social interactions, but the FCs end up developing cliques too. I made the mistake of trying to help one of these cliques and got silently booted from the party afterwards as a lovely thank you.

My dream is still to find a group of people to raid once a week for at most 2 hours with. I can justify blocking that off in my schedule. Unfortunately most people who are actually competent at the game tend to want to raid more than that, and people who want the same laidback schedule can be hard to get to show up consistently.

What about Tuesdays and Thursdays? :shobon:

And why does this matter? Not trying to be be a jackass about it. I'm sincerely asking. Yes, the gear is better than the previous raid tier, but it is coming after that raid tier. But it is inferior to the newer raid tier, so there is still something to go after. It is also optional. So why does it matter?

These super great for the level WHM panties would be less insulting if the entire point of the quest hadn't been about assembling ceremonial vestments and I got amazing level 45 blue gear for everything except the chest.

Learned holy at the end, but I'd rather have a robe.

Doesn't matter, got Holy. Congratulations! You now have the best job ability in the game. It's an AOE stun, so your new goal is to use it ASAP in a fight.

Your gear woes are near an end, too - at 50 you can glamour anything you can wear atop your shame.

Yeah, at this point I'm considering whether I'm going to buy the expansion or not. Played the game for a couple weeks on the free trial to get up to 35, and now up to 46 after a bit less than a week. Rested xp is a hell of a thing - my main story quest I'm on is still only level 40.

The end of the MSQ is pretty fun, but everyone has it on farm status. Decide if you want to watch cutscenes OR fight bosses before The Praetorium.

After that, I recommend this before diving right back into the MSQ. https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/The_Rise_and_Fall_of_Gentlemen Then swap between as desired.

Alternately, ask goons to go with you so you can watch cutscenes and fight bosses. There's no guarantee everyone will drop what they're doing, but a lot of goons are very pro-cutscene and think people deserve to enjoy that instance without being screamed at by pubbies.

When playing sch with another healer in the party are there unspoken rules about which healer does what? Sch has kinda weak aoe heals due to CDs on indomitability and emergency tactics so are you supposed to get the tank/ot and help out with indomitability and stuff when appropriate?

I never see healers discuss what role they're taking so I figure it must just be an obvious thing I don't see.

We're silently judging you, don't worry.

As SCH, the ideal is you know the fight and will shield the big attacks. As WHM, my spell usage (and vulgarity level) will depend on how much damage is absorbed, and how badly I'm outdamaging you.
