Try leaving the area and you'll get a big popup
oak smelt
i want to start leveling a dps class alongside my pld and drk. But i dont want to start all the way from lvl 1 just yet.
what are the classes that start at 30+?
machinist and samurai? anything else?
tidal yarrow
ty
faint flare
Gunbreaker and astro as wwll
glossy flare
those are not dps though
faint flare
For tank and heal
oak smelt
i see. any idea which one would be the best to get to know dps? ive just played tanks so far.
more or less completely oblivious how the other classes play, their weaknesses, playstyles etc.
glossy flare
Samurai is pretty straightforward and probably the second easiest melee dps
glossy flare
Red mage is the easiest caster I'd say
oak smelt
Samurai is pretty straightforward and probably the second easiest melee dps
easiest being? dragoon?
glossy flare
dancer is not difficult per se but it has more rng compared to other jobs
oak ice
Dancer you can learn to play even if you have problems getting dressed in the mornings, it's that easy
glossy flare
yeah, Dragoon is the easiest I'd say
oak ice
Samurai is not hard to learn, but harder to master
oak smelt
i dont really like the class fantasy of dnc. dont thing il be levelling that.
polar hound
@untold sand use your healer chocobo also
untold sand
and btw im at the one mind part and idk why but i somehow manage to aggro like 3 mobs as redmage and they do decent damage
glossy flare
Can't really comment on machinist since I have never really touched that job
untold sand
im dumb can u respec chocobos?
polar hound
yes but you need a pepper or something to feed it ?
oak ice
Machinist is not friendly to high ping
oak smelt
i was split between machinist and samurai. guess il start with sam
polar hound
havent respecced my chocobo so dunno the exact item sorry but it does exist lol
glossy flare
I can heartily recommend SAM. Fun job, big numbers, cool sword
oak ice
You can click on the second tab on the right or all the numbers on the left
oak smelt
Machinist is not friendly to high ping
what would be the cutoff?
untold sand
idk why i prefer ranged even though it has shittier damage @glossy flare e.e
oak ice
Not sure, but I wouldn't touch it above 120

whats the best way to get 2 levels without msq
glossy flare
I mean that's totally fine, ranged dps has nice shenanigans to make up for that lower dmg

You respec Chocobo's with the Reagan Pepper @untold sand

well then i asume i need a house for astable then?

heady bramble
Is the mariner cotton cloth worth 100k? 😮
rain jetty
yeah you feed it to them in stables
little swift
Is the mariner cotton cloth worth 100k? 😮
@heady bramble depends on your server but its used to make some glamours/furniture
heady bramble
hmmm, would you say it's easy to get?
little swift
its mostly luck
little swift
because its either from maps or from desynthesizing some of the items it makes
little swift
lv50 crafts
oak smelt
wait back to a question about mch.
when you say its ping reliant and its a bad idea to play with more than 120 ping do you mean generally or for harder/savage(thats a difficulty right?) dungeons/trials?
or is it bad enough that youl have trouble levelling it?
little swift
it becomes tough to weave during hypercharge windows with higher ping
oak ice
It requires weaving on a 1.5 second gcd every Hypercharge window
And that feels awful with too much ping since you'll often clip and in some severe cases you're gonna miss a use
limpid lynx
Does Red Mage gear come with mind?
remote lintel
no
oak ice
It does not want MND
remote lintel
mind is for healers
limpid lynx
I don't have one yet but I'm curious as to how its level 54 350 pot vercure is considered decent whereas summoner's 400 pot physick is a complete joke past level 50
oak ice
Vercure scales with magic, Physick with mind
remote lintel
because red mage can do a 700 potency heal
oak ice
Ideally you should use both as little as possible
limpid lynx
oh yeah for sure
you don't wanna be using GCD heals as a DPS
I was just wondering why vercure just does so much more than physick despite physick technically having the bigger number
faint flare
Cause Cure is off Int. Physick is off of Mind
oak ice
Because Physick is a relic of a bygone age that has never been
untold sand
yikes 500k for an apartment xd
little swift
500k is pretty little
oak ice
Small house is ~3 million, medium ~15, large is 37+
untold sand
im refering to apartment not house
oak ice
Yeah, I know, just putting it in perspective
oak smelt
is it fine to level 2-3 classes staggered by a difference of 10 lvls or is it better to max one out first to unlock more content?
untold sand
im still early game in heavensward the only thing i have money is daily and i can just take money from fc cuz i have rights cuz its a bud fc
small atlas
is there a "best" order to leveling up crafting jobs and the such? cause for some jobs u make equipment for others i think
young locust
weavers def take a lot from other jobs
i think alchemist and gold smith works for first crafting jobs.
rugged crypt
Friend is just getting into MMOs and is wondering what DPS class is the easiest to learn
Are there any really easy ones?
polar inlet
dragoon
imo
but take what i say w/ a pinch of salt, im giga new
it is hella easy tho if your friend knows how to read
rugged crypt
I hope he does lmao, cheers mate
little swift
do get him to watch the video in the pins @rugged crypt
i'd also recommend bard as a good beginner job
pretty simple to start with and easily mobile
then becomes complex later
though no job is particularly hard to pick up early
polar inlet
hey so, ive just done my daily roulette and im lvl 47, and i need to be 49 to continue my msq
are there a bunch of sidequests that are pretty high levelled or smth i can cane thru
oak ice

@polar inlet
polar inlet
thx
glossy flare
the principles there hold up until lvl 80
although doing the MSQ generally awards you tons of xp, not sure how you even ended up in the position you're in 😄
polar inlet
so basically ive only done msq
and a few fates along the way
literally the bare minimum, been fully engrossed in the story 😩
glossy flare
did you switch jobs inbetween?
polar inlet
its not enough xp apparently.. i was overlevelled for most of it too, and then around the late 30's to early 40's the quest levels and my level started to sync up, and well, here we are
and no
polar inlet
maybe if i had rested xp it would be alright
although you'd think that wouldnt matter
wintry chasm
literally the bare minimum, been fully engrossed in the story 😩
Just btw if you are really engrossed I recommend doing the raids and trial series before moving onto later expansions for reasons.
polar inlet
im gunna
glossy flare
Actually you will have to do the ARR alliance raids
it's mandatory before going into HW now
wintry chasm
Ye but I mean like, the ones that aren't mandatory
glossy flare
true

People do end up under leveled at the end of 2.0 because the MSQ jumps from level 46 to 49
polar inlet

untold sand
hm daily roulette's reward is based on level?
my 30 tank got like 2k tops
my 60 classes get 9000
faint flare
Yes it scales
untold sand
no kidding why i got so little
hallow igloo
Are the end game gears for this game will all be same? like stats, etc.
glossy flare
I'm not sure I understand the question 🤔
magic light
yes as in, a particular gear will have same stats when obtained by you and others
no as in, it's not the same stats as you'd think all gear would have
unless your idea of "all gear would have" is different than mine
zinc orbitBOT
sweet leaf
is it still possible to get the fox lady fate rewards?
and if so, where and when does she spawn?
granite swan
apparently its a 12-24 lockout, but Yanxia is where all the fates happen
hallow igloo
Like the stats and attributes of the equipments, are they going to be the same if you get a duplicate of that gear.
faint flare
Yes
glossy flare
yes
faint flare
There's no randomised stats (outside of early aetherical accessories)
tulip plover
Does sleeping in an inn give bonus rest?
faint flare
No
glossy flare
no more than any other sanctuary
hallow igloo
I see, so after you get all the end game gears in the game, what do you do?
magic light
is there a fc chat in ishgard
green grail
free company chat is global
hallow igloo
Are all cash items tradable or sellable?
faint flare
No
hallow igloo
such as costumes
faint flare
Well outside of giving the codes to other people
Once you have the item ingame, you cant trade it to others
hallow igloo
Ohhh ok thank you
frosty stump
I just finished hw and am about to start sb, but was wondering if there was any kind of dungeon or such I should do first?
random hollow
Is there a way to target closest enemy? where there are many enemies, it gets kinda crazy with the dpad...
sand stratus
assuming you mean you finished the 3.x patches, you can just hop straight into SB
sand stratus
@random hollow in Keybind settings, under Targeting, there's a "Target Nearest Enemy" option that you can bind
random hollow
thx!!
obsidian patio
@hexed solstice yep there’s 98 currently
ripe hound
Weird, it does have a limited range
ionic hazel
it doesnt even apply even for myself
i see the animation and everything
it ghosted me 3 times in the dungeon i just did
ripe hound
That's weird. What were you doing?
ripe hound
Dungeon hun... Sorry, can't think of any reason
keen fable
why is it that cunning materia V is so expensive
ionic hazel
That shouldnt happen when i have 70 ms and not lagging
ripe hound
No demand no supply so high price
keen fable
there's lots of supply but no demand
leaden ginkgo
Are all dungeons until level 50 really easy?
glossy flare
Pretty much, yeah
keen fable
all dungeons are really easy
glossy flare
not that they ever get super hard or anything
keen fable
up to 70 so far
leaden ginkgo
That's no fun
glossy flare
But at least they become non-trivial towards the end
keen fable
havent had experience with the latter ones
well, the endgame is a bit harder than dungeons
glossy flare
quite a bit 😄
ionic hazel
the one further in the story where emet tells his backstory
about his people
have fun with the random laser faces
leaden ginkgo
So until then, Fates are the closest thing to a challenge until level 50 I can experience
ripe hound
I see I only did it once
keen fable
fates are easy too
glossy flare
I mean purely going by required dps and such it would be either Heroe's Gauntlet or Anamnesis Anyder
Which are also the only two dungeons currently in the Extreme Roulette
leaden ginkgo
You can run fates a few levels above you which is challenging.
glossy flare
Amaurot is only annoying because of all the random circle aoe everywhere
but I admit the final boss has at least some fun mechanics
ripe hound
Yeah I was thinking about stuff that can easily cause wipes
little swift
to be fair neither of those dungeons have an enrage
ionic hazel
@ripe hound Amaurot because the meteor mechanics from the first boss and the last boss has a dps check with random mechanics
glossy flare
Yeah
little swift
so theres technically no required dps
ripe hound
But hey that dungeon was beautiful
little swift
only amaurot has a theoretical enrage
glossy flare
True, should have put that into air quotes
little swift
and i guess grand cosmos
leaden ginkgo
Biggest challenges for me so far were story challenges.
little swift
if you run out of furniture
ionic hazel
seeing sprouts die to the meteors is just nice
or stand on the wrong platform and fall off and die
leaden ginkgo
Reading those long dialogues is hard work 😆
glossy flare
Point is, the ShB dungeons are a good step up because people do not outgear them by quite as much
ripe hound
Why is grand cosmos hard? The fire?
glossy flare
So it's at least something you have to pay attention to 😄
grand cosmos isn't hard but if you run out of furniture at the last boss you will wipe to that mechanic
because there is no way of solving it then
Which is kinda maybe an enrage if you look at it from a certain angle
deft yarrow
Are there some mechanics icons that are unique to that one mechanic?
ripe hound
Right, and if you only have a healer that can raise and the healer is a sprout
pearl oriole
Just bought Shadowbringers on Steam, not sure where to enter the code.
I'm on Mog. Do I click Enter Expansion Registration Code or Registration Codes > Enter Item Code for Windows?
glossy flare
There are a few unique icons and markers only really used for some mechanics
faint flare
Enter expansion code
pearl oriole
Thanks!
glossy flare
Anyway, dungeons are not supposed to be hard
deft yarrow
is there an icon that designates you have to stop moving/performing actions?
glossy flare
true
faint flare
Acceleration bomb dies, extreme caution debuff and the new trial pause
ripe hound
The pause button, but I think it changes for different stuff
deft yarrow
I think it was like a caution warning or somrthing?
faint flare
Extreme caution
deft yarrow
It was in a dungeon I think
little swift
argath's mechanic is sorta echoed in kefka as well though
ripe hound
Is SoS normal harder than Shiryu Normal?
Like on patch day
obsidian patio
Shinryu was harder because no one was over geared
glossy flare
Argath's mechanic is not about standing still though, right?
It's about staying close to him or running away from him
obsidian patio
In terms of actual mechanics I’d say Pretty equal
glossy flare
You can still do stuff if you have to stay close
ripe hound
Right, people die in Shiryu a lot because no one have end game gear
remote lintel
no
faint flare
Its looking or moving
faint flare
And he either tells the truth or lies
glossy flare
yeah nvm, you're right I misremembered
remote lintel
argath actually doesnt have a stop button icon thing now that i look at it
its only the play button icon
glossy flare
Yeah there are only the demon/angel faces and the commands
and now I'm reminded of that damn boss that suddenly has you do math
That threw me off
frosty stump
theres a boss that makes you do math?
glossy flare
it reduces your health to single digits then forces you to get to a certain number depending on what it says to you
like multiples of 3 for example
frosty stump
still seems odd, ive never played a mmo that has math in it
little swift
all games have math in them
thats how they function
you're unconsciously doing math by hitting a boss
leaden ginkgo
Hotbar has numbers on it. Math proved.
fringe lotus
Is the storyline of the Alxander Raids important? Kinda skipped thru the first ones cause i dindt realize thats what i was unlocking
frosty stump
i mean like actually doing the math yourself
warped nest
Do comparing two numbers count as doing math?
glossy flare
(I think it was a joke because RPGs always tend to have some math)
frosty stump
I mean theres the normal kinda math like figuring out prices and damage and that kinda stuff but not actually doing some like youd have to do at school {even if it is like second grade math which it prob is}
ionic hazel
@ripe hound i realize what was causing it
its not actually ghosting me
i just press it twice super fast cus i spam my abilities
so i horoscope >que to pop in a short time span that it looks like its not going off

Is it possible to own all gear items? Or be able to use them all for glamour? Or is like 700 the max?
tame plinth
Dammit
agile laurel
between retainers, if you bought the extra, glamour dresser, armoire, and saddlebag...
you could get a lot?
but
likely not all
and you'd have fuckall space for anything actually useful
tame plinth
So basically, if you have the money to buy enough retainers, then yes
tame plinth
Guess no one ever really tried to do that
glossy flare
You can't have unlimited retainers though, even if you pay for the extra slots
But I have no concept of how many items there are in the game either

Tens of thousands for sure

anyone else having connection lost issues on Excalibur?

are dps skills/combos generally more complex than tanks'?
looking at the sam stuff and even at lvl 50 the combos are far more complex than either pld or drk.

@ocean blaze you have a connection error from your side
ocean blaze
Strange, how would I check it?
ocean blaze
Seems like I'm connected just fine, but I'll restart my modem/router and see what happens

tank combos are simplified because they need to juggle defensives, handle mechanics & tb etc

Hi! Were can we report for scamming/account stealing attempts?
I only see RMT reports
north lotus
I have a lvl 73 but took a break and now I want to try a new class for fun but on the same character. I notice that I am hording items in my armory and inventory and retainers but now I am wondering how much gear for alts do I need to worry about? Can I just buy stuff off the market place when I wanna switch roles? How much alt gear should I keep?
and i also worry that I will get rid of cool transmogs if I downsize
any advice?
granite swan
Depends on how many classes the gear helps and how many of that role you plan to play
Theres also 400 slots in the glamour dresser to store stuff if you think it looks nice
shell echo
How do you bring a mount up?
north lotus
well yea it does but im wondering if I just need to store the strongest gear for any class at the time
i know im asking it weird
I need to downsize for an alt and I have tons of paladin and gunbreaker gear on me
granite swan
I usually kept the gear for roles i was leveling until they all passed the lowest level, then ditched those pieces
So it really depends on the level of the gear and stuff
north lotus
Thank you. 🙂
granite swan
If its the 50/60/70 Poetic Gear id stick it in a retainer, if its dungeon gear, hard to say

warped nest
Glamour dresser doesn't take gears under 100 durability

granite swan
They are easy to get depending how far you are into Grand Company stuff
they are like 200 seals each or something cheap
north lotus

granite swan

warped nest
You can
north lotus

I would like some help, I am new to this game and I got it on steam and I made an account on the square-enix website and did all the steps I needed but on this part I don't understand I did tried to enter both the codes I receive from steam but both of them did not work and ideas what I did wrong? Would be very helpful if someone could help me with this if possible
warped nest

granite swan

granite swan
Ah 2 ranks from being able to trade in gear

granite swan

north lotus

granite swan
thats 99 items you could shove in the dresser ;p
north lotus
my sentiments exactly
granite swan
Some event items can go in the Armoire tho, but it will tell you
north lotus
noted.
granite swan
Speaking of GC Ranks, wonder when we will ever get past Captain
north lotus

Gear sets
north lotus
lol my b
faint flare
Page button on the character page
granite swan
If you ever get Glamour plate setup later, you can link those to each set too :p
north lotus
is the recommended gear button worth it?
faint flare
For the most part
granite swan
it pretty much equips highest item level gear for your class
faint flare
It will be fine while you're levelling
shell echo
How do I find the inn in the desert city?
faint flare
Uldah Inn is at the adventure guild
shell echo
Thats on my list of teleports. Thanks. It's been 6 years have no idea what I'm doing
faint flare
Only certain gear can
mental zodiac
Its seasonal and event sets in the armoire
faint flare
Typically job specific gear and event items

Is there a breakdown of the length of time of cutscenes in praetorium so I can plan my time away from computer to do chores? lol
mental zodiac
Forever.....

I have never timed it honestly I just play FGO on my phone during them.

awesome ty
bitter pivot
Im pretty new to the game but falling in love with Fishing. Only question is what Im supposed to do with the fish? Do I sell them to the npc I sell the gold sacks from quest rewards to or if I sign up to be a culinarian can I cook them?
bitter pivot
cool, I think they mostly sell for more than their bait costs so I can just keep fishing
are there any types of lures that are reuseable?
remote lintel
dont think so
north lotus
So, I guess my dilemma is that; for instance, I have a lvl 67 piece of gear my gunbreaker main will never wear and my next alt is going to be a healer or caster but even so my brain is like save this lvl 67 piece of gear in case you roll a dark knight because they look sick.
granite swan
shove it in the dresser
north lotus
so im scared to get rid of junk lol
remote lintel
just get it again if you want it
granite swan
if its 67 its probly vendor/dungeon gear u can always re-get
north lotus
Cerberus thats kinda what im wondering
can i just go look on the mp or something if i really need it later?
granite swan
If its green, you can just re-run the dungeon
north lotus
well maybe some of them are unique items from quests ive done
proud willow
quite a bit more than 90%
granite swan
i think MSQ is just HQ crafted stuff
mental zodiac
I would just trade it for seals you can always get it again.
proud willow
aren't the RDM and SAM starter sets just about the only things you can't reobtain?
north lotus
ok yea im still learning what the gear colors mean like when its glittery or what the colored dots mean or like you said green means its from a dungeon
granite swan
dot in top right means its dyeable
north lotus
HQ?
remote lintel
high quality
leaden ginkgo
I heard that completing the four role quests unlock additional lore
faint flare
Yes
leaden ginkgo
when is this lore relevant?
faint flare
Its relevant to Shadowbringers
leaden ginkgo
I mean, at what point
faint flare
||The truth behind the Flood of Light||
remote lintel
like all of it basically
faint flare
^
proud willow
there's no point in the ShB story where you will be lost because you didn't do it
leaden ginkgo
ok
proud willow
the story doesn't depend on you doing that final quest
leaden ginkgo
so I can complete ShB (5.0) and unlock the lore later?
remote lintel
yes
faint flare
Yes
leaden ginkgo
ok
proud willow
however, there is extra dialogue that you'll get at the last quest of 5.2 if you've done all the role quests
leaden ginkgo
I thought it required some chronological order to understand the lore
mental zodiac
@remote lintel anything not event related or seasonal can typically be reobtained or crafted in replica form (replicas are also typically dyeable. Gray dot in corner means undyed gear colored dot means it has been dyed whatever the dot is. Gear with sort of a gold shimmer on it is HQ which has slightly better stats then regular. Hope this helps.
leaden ginkgo
however, there is extra dialogue that you'll get at the last quest of 5.2 if you've done all the role quests
@proud willow gotcha, this is what I was wondering, thanks
proud willow
(you can rewatch the extra cutscene later if you want)
north lotus
Cast Glamor option adds to glam chest?
remote lintel
why did you ping me
granite swan
Izanami pinged wrong person :p
no
access the chest and it should show you items you can store in it
mental zodiac
Opps haha lol sorry.
I meant Nahz and I typed your name because the posts moved up.
mental zodiac
It never seemed that big to me but I mostly wear augmented gear or craft my own gear so it comes out HQ. I may legit not have noticed if it was a larger difference.
granite swan
For the crafter soul thingy, specialization? does it reset same time as other weeklies?
faint flare
Yes
latent sluice
outside from the quest after clearing floor 50, are there any features unlocked for doing PotD/HoH?
mental zodiac
Some achievements and I have been told there is some way to get the weapons for glam. Oh and the friendship bench on the final floor! Also forgot the silver bags exchange for rarer gacha.
latent sluice
ah okay. Was just worried I might not have a dungeon unlocked until I did them or some such
mental zodiac
You get used to it lol mostly because you have to when you run out of inventory T.T
north lotus
by the time i look back at these items I will cringe
sweet leaf
ok important question since i've played almost a month of white mage and nothing else:
Skill X
Combo Action: Skill Y
Do i use skill Y before Skill X, or Skill X before Skill Y?
north lotus
anyone know where conjurer class quest is?
north lotus
ty
plain python
how to proc zero-mana Fire 3? I see my Thunder proc often.
remote lintel
you use the skill before the combo action
fire 1 procs fire 3 after you get firestarter
sweet leaf
you use the skill before the combo action
@remote lintel this doesn't tell me the order, i'm still confused lol
neon jungle
I'm very new so sorry if this is in the wrong section. I just hit level 50 Bard and was wondering what is the best weapon to buy from the Allgan vendor? Let me know if I should ask this somewhere else. Thank you!
remote lintel
if something says combo action
faint flare
You use skill X before Y
remote lintel
that means you use it AFTER whatever the base thing is
faint flare
Its saying what skill should follow it
neat schooner
Hey guys, just a question, is it worth it to do levequests at a higher level, or should I do them at my current level (e.g. should I increase levequests to lv 44 if I'm 40)?
obsidian patio
@neon jungle ironworks
sweet leaf
ok so Gust Slash and then Spinning Edge?
neon jungle
Thank you @remote lintel and @obsidian patio
obsidian patio
@neat schooner assuming your gear isn’t too far behind you can maximise the difficulty and be fine
neon jungle
The level 130 item I assume
obsidian patio
Yep
neat schooner
Alright, ty
neon jungle
@obsidian patio Thanks again
little swift
Gust combos off of spinning
sweet leaf
ok, mixed messages here
little swift
That's why in the tooltip its listed as a prereq
faint flare
!action Spinning Edge
little swift
!action gust slash
sweet leaf
first i get told x and then y
remote lintel
they tell you the order of moves in the tooltip
sweet leaf
and now everyone's saying Y and then X
remote lintel
no
the tooltip for spinning edge has no combo action
then gust slash says it combos off spinning
sweet leaf
if it's spinning and then gust, then it's Y and X from my question
remote lintel
so its spinning > gust
sweet leaf
but someone told me X and then Y
remote lintel
you said skill x combo action y
faint flare
The combo action glows
faint flare
If you press Spinning Edge, gust will glow
little swift
Hes listing spinning edge qs tue combo action of gust slash
faint flare
Saying you should press this
little swift
So y before x is right in their example
sweet leaf
ok
zinc orbitBOT
sweet leaf
i've not done combos so i just wanted to get it all figured out as early as i could
remote lintel
if you press spinning then gust will glow
sweet leaf
and hopefully i can learn them correctly
remote lintel
indicating its the next step in the combo
sweet leaf
because i'm smooth brain
remote lintel
or just play bard which has no combos
little swift
Still has glowy buttons

what are the best materials to buy from grand company to sell on market?
halcyon glen
Varies server to server

halcyon glen
Check your local market
sweet leaf
Ive got my WHM to 70, it has one combo with 15% chance to activate, and it's worded so easily to understand
halcyon glen
It’s also GARBAGE
little swift
It's not a combo
sweet leaf
do wha huh
remote lintel
procs are not combos
little swift
Freecure is bad
faint flare
Freecure is a noob trap
halcyon glen
Surprise!
sweet leaf
i have... infinite mana?????
halcyon glen
Here’s the quick and easy explanation
faint flare
Yes
little swift
Its gcd inefficient to spam cure when you have better tools for healing
halcyon glen
Never push Cure 1
remote lintel
white mage has the best mana management of all the healers
halcyon glen
Ever
sweet leaf
I am always running out of mana in dungeons wdym?
sweet leaf
i dunno orz
halcyon glen
You’re probably spamming manual heals too much
obsidian patio
Are you using lucid dreaming on cool down?
faint flare
You're not using your tools effectively
sweet leaf
manual heals?
little swift
If youre trying to keep everyone topped up you'll burn through your mana
faint flare
Lilies, ALL YOUR OFF GLOBAL heals, lucid, thin air
mental zodiac
Always use Lucid at about half and even with spam you should stay up as a WHM
sweet leaf
i use lucid but it doesn't last long
remote lintel
youre supposed to prioritize ogcd heals over gcd heals
granite swan
90% of the time, tanks dont use their tools >.>
remote lintel
ogcd heals are free
halcyon glen
Cure 1-2 are tools you basically should be be using at 70
mental zodiac
As a tank who has started working on healer @granite swan is correct.
granite swan
dont forget Air for free spells for 12 seconds
obsidian patio
No reason to not use it
faint flare
You should basically barely ever needing to use Cures
With lilies and ogcds
And regens
sweet leaf
most of the time, i see tanks pulling so much that i have to spam Cure as fast as possible (sometimes with PoM) just so they dont die
faint flare
Thats why
remote lintel
cure 1??
faint flare
USE YOUR OFF GLOBAL HEALS
remote lintel
you basically never use cure 1
sweet leaf
yeah cure 1
halcyon glen
Yeah so don’t, uh, do that
remote lintel
dont
faint flare
You have more than 1 heal
faint flare
!action Tetra
zinc orbitBOT
sweet leaf
because cure 3 costs more mana for a smaller heal
faint flare
Cure 3 is aoe
granite swan
Except its usually the first pull and you aint got no lilly heals ...
mental zodiac
I do room to room pulls and if I am damage mitigating correctly anything before 70 a regen and a few cure 2s are all I ever need.
remote lintel
use your lily heals
faint flare
So
sweet leaf
it is aoe but most of the time it's just the tank taking damage
faint flare
You use Cure 2
remote lintel
you have tetra and lily heals and assize
halcyon glen
Plop Regen on the tank
granite swan
I think ive used Cure 3 a total of like 5 times
faint flare
Or benediction
sweet leaf
I only use regen AFTER they've pulled because if i use it before, i get all the enmity
faint flare
Or regen
granite swan
pfft Asylum, you mean the thing everyone runs AWAY from? Rages
halcyon glen
Yep!
remote lintel
you wont have enmity for long
mental zodiac
Yes please do not Regen tanks before pull it gives you the aggro.
faint flare
If even you do, just run next to the tank
mental zodiac
^
sweet leaf
benediction has a MASSIVE cooldown i only use in oh shit circumstances
faint flare
So they can pull it off with aoes
little swift
Its an non issue now
faint flare
Dont
remote lintel
dont
faint flare
Thats very bad thinking
little swift
Regen during pull is fine
potent bridge
i have a question
little swift
Think about it this way berwin
faint flare
Benediction is your strongest heal, you want to use it as much as possible
sand stratus
If the tank doesn't like it, they can just get rid of it before a pull
mental zodiac
^
remote lintel
@potent bridge just ask
sweet leaf
benediction restores all HP on a 3 minute cooldown, i use it when the tank gets super low and my cures aren't cutting it
halcyon glen
If benediction is available you shouldn’t be pushing Cure (any number here) generally speaking
potent bridge
what?
remote lintel
just use it berwin
little swift
Your dungeons last about 15 minutes. Benediction has a 3 minute cooldown. This means you can potentially use it 5 times in that run@sweet leaf
Why would you save it
At that point
mental zodiac
Biggest thing as a tank I am concerned with is if I drop to low to fast (I hate dodging in regular mobs) that you are willing to Beni me or let me know ahead of time so that I can be prepared to cast Hollowed/Living Dead
sweet leaf
because i dont know when i may need to actually use it in an emergency and if it's on cooldown, then we get wiped
faint flare
If your benediction is ready, you can be aoe stuff down and killing things then just Benediction the tank and keep aoeing
remote lintel
look berwin
if you utilize all your heals to their potential
you are preventing the "oh shit" moments in the first place
little swift
Youre just creating emergencies where they don't exist at that point
remote lintel
so use them
faint flare
Dont plan for emergencies, stuff like benedictions stop emergencies from happening in thr first place
obsidian patio
I think of Benediction as a really big cure 2
faint flare
Benediction should be up after every other trash pull
obsidian patio
Unless I strictly need it for tank immunity like WAR and DRK I treat it as a big heal
faint flare
You can alternate it with Temperance
remote lintel
thats why you use ogcd heals first
faint flare
^
sand stratus
Think of it as a really big Tetragrammaton :P
remote lintel
and then you have lucid and thin air
faint flare
Use your off global heals
remote lintel
and assize
sweet leaf
also a lot of you are using words i've never heard of
remote lintel
off global cool down
sweet leaf
hang on lemme list the ones
little swift
@obsidian patio my whm doesn't use it when I holmgang 
he messes with me instead
obsidian patio
:)))
faint flare
Use tetra. Assize, asylum, benediction VERY VERY LIBERALLY
mental zodiac
DRK can be stressful because if they do use Living Dead a lot of them die. But most DRK can actually self heal out of LD if combo is done correctly.
sweet leaf
Tetra, assize, temperance, asylum
solar surge
How do you cancel the auto-renewal on subscriptions?
granite swan
Whats the macro to put asylum on my target? i keep forgetting to make it
faint flare
While you holy spam
sweet leaf
are all ones i;'ve never heard of

You should have really heard of them by now
