Using Rescue is a lot like pulling a dog's leash. People will be angry at you unless you do it to save someone's life. But as things are I really do not like chihuahuas. And guess what is the most chihuahua like job? Black Mages. They have a tiny amount of space near them, and if you close in to their personal space they get miffed and start to bark in the VC. My methods are my own. I suggest none partake in this journey of mine. Tis a lonesome road, but it has to be done to keep the black mages under control. When they have some weirdo runes spinning by their feet (ew disgusting.) I always Rescue them. When asked about it, I always tell them I thought it was an AOE attack and they humbly apologize for getting angry at me. Yeah right you chihuahua. You're a condensed form of anger. There has been thousands of years of inbreeding to turn you into the manifestation of vile hatred. Your words are pestilence. Your actions are war. Your thoughts are famine. Where your feet are is a testament of your eternal conquest. Insatiable. My friends are now wary of me. Its been since P9S released where I last heard from my static. Unknowing acquaintances within New Gridana are the only who may suffer the machinations of my mind. I only do one MSQ roulette once a week for all who knows my name fear not to associate with this crusade of mine against chihuahua kind. Yet my work is far from done. People have begun to use Surecast knowing it stops my leash yanking. I imagine this as a chihuahua biting down unto a metal pole to stop my righteous leash. Fools all of them. I am not easily fooled. One may envision your Leylines as your home. But for your kind an unmarked grave will suit you just right, chihuahua.
Even I mainly Play healer classes And i hate every healer who uses this line Skill Just for fun or Just He thought it would be Important. I already Battled some Healers with Their own weapon And Put them with my healer in a dead Zone or nearly coming Explosion And myself using running buff to get immitially away. 2nd healer dead.
As a healer main I think it’s a better idea to cast your DOT spell on all the enemies you can(within reason) and then big heal and THEN cast regen when the tank stops moving.
It's a good general practice. But if for some reason you're able to run while hitting 3 or 4+ enemies, (SCH/SGE do this trivally, AST if you use Lightspeed), then that is more potency gained even if the mob you hit takes the entire DoT damage duration. It also becomes easier to manage as you don't have to constantly find what you haven't DoT -- I'm good at it as I KBM and can click, but still acknowledge it's easier when I don't have to bother.
My advice for new healers; It's not your job to keep people at full health, it's to keep people alive. Of course it's good to play safe if you're not confident yet but even in casual content the healers have a responsibility to deal damage. You should be aiming to learn how to deal the most damage while keeping people healthy. Regen effects are real, let it heal your team if you know there's no damage coming in. bonus tip for tanks: Arm's Length is mitigation
This is true, but I would add as a minor nuance that people do tend to freak out more if kept at super low HP for a while and that will increase the likelihood of mistakes one way or another. Static raid groups in known fights are obviously going to remain chill about it, but don't be absurd with this "truth" in PF and roulettes, otherwise you will be degrading performance.
Technically the most optimal outcome as a healer is to complete the encounter with everybody at 1HP. However, the players' mental health is important too :P When I play healer I rely far more on regenerative spells than restorative ones, and with the latter I prioritise the ones with a restorative effect.
@@StingcatKnight No worries, it would be a lot more useful if it worked with abilities, but would have to be balanced a bit to do so. I think it deserves a rework because it is a cool skill in concept that rarely gets used.
Yo great vid I am total noobie and only know on lvl 50. Someone in dungeon told me to get a job. (haha didn't even know it worked like that) So thanks u really helped in choosing one. I liked ur guide a lot even though I didn't understand some thinks, but I will come to me in time.
Sometimes when I'm playing ninja, I wish I had a quick way to tell the healer, don't worry about that damage I just took, I did it on purpose because I intend to get it back with second wind or bloodbath :P (Can't really put it in the chat because the time taken to type it would undermine my effort to heal myself.)
I wouldn't recommend using regens while running to mob packs. While experienced tanks will be able to deal with it, it might result in some mobs going straight at you. I would prioritize shields. Even regen healers have access to some shields, divine benison for whm, and nocturnal sect from ast. Regens are still great, but i'd recommend waiting for the tank to have all the mobs attention before using them.
Honestly I never have much issue doing this, it was quite rare that I take the aggro and even if I get aggro just walk into the tank and they will pick it up
The way regen enmity is calculated has been changed back in 6.2. Before, every HoT tick did generate enmity, so this tip was good back then. Now, only the initial application of the buff (and eventual direct healing done by the action) does generate enmity. So as long as the tank has hit all mobs at least once, feel free to use regens :) of course, you can still run into issues if some mobs haven't been hit, but you can usually see that by their HP bar still being yellow instead of being red.
@@Dyn67 Shield stays so you don’t need to do that for shields but too early it might run out, mits that gets applied on bosses are more relevant to this point
@@StingcatKnight Well, I'm actually a veteran, but I don't tank often and I don't know the skills of every tank. People forget that someone might be coming back from a long break or leveling a new job.
I have /comfort on my hot bar for when I get Gubal library 😂. I know it’s rare but I love having it. I guess that’s my emote so now it also serves another purpose!!
A few caveats from myself honestly, I actually disagree with putting regens on tanks during the starting pull in dungeons (This does not apply to raids). They will oftentimes sprint to gather all the mobs up for the aoe damage killzone. Sometimes tanks will miss a mob and your regen tick will just aggro the mobs onto yourself and the tank now has to regrab that mob at the end of his run, or you as a healer have to heal yourself instead of just one target. Slap the regen on after the tank stops moving. I have run into several tanks that will just flat out click off regen immediately if they see it being applied to them at the start of a dungeon pull. The other thing that really frustrates me when I play as a tank is when the healer is constantly trying to keep tank hp at above 90% at all times in dungeons, this completely invalidates any self healing that the tanks can provide to help with healing themselves, which frees up the healer to deal more aoe dps to kill the mobs faster. Ideally you want to just use only your OGCD' to heal, a good target is when the tank hits below 50% or so then pop them up with an OCGD. (same threshold as Scholar's Exorg ability proc).
I personally find it a non issue, it is quite rare I steal the aggro doing this and if I do it’s very easy to just walk into the tank and they will pick the aggro up.
The problem with Healing in this game is a glaring issue with the game's design. Because all fights amount to "avoid crap on floor", you don't really get that many opportunities to heal. Healing in FFXIV amounts to "band-aiding when somebody misses a mechanic" and that is a major flaw with the game's design. Healers in WoW for example are required, healers in FFXIV are not because if the tank and dps are quick enough, they end up taking minimum damage in boss fights and the healer becomes a glorified DPS. Its one of my major gripes with this game, you can tell its a very eastern design because they tend to be obsessed with "mechanical skill", meaning tanks and dps can avoid damage all-together. It's very typical of Eastern game design, its like why League has become so obsessed with fast, high-octane mechanical skill and positioning, rather then the strategic and slower game it used to be. If you like that, fine but it becomes VERY one-note, very quickly.
This tips are mostly needed for people, who will never watch this video ever. Can't count how much hostility I met in this game from sprouts trying to explain since if this stuff. I refuse to walk on eggshells and bother with them anymore.
I think you are on to something here, but the delivery on how you give advice can have an impact, when I do it I try to be as nice as possible otherwise I don't bother lol u never know when someone is sensitivity that day 🥲🥲
Important note for tanks about Sprint: Sprint is mitigation. You heard me. If an enemy's not in range, they're not doing damage. Use Sprint. I'm sick of seeing y'all slow run from trash pack to trash pack.
god i wish this toxic healer mental of keep them alive even ifthey stay low would stop no oyu heal to make sure they top 70% hp at best at lowest 50% why would you want ot stress out the tank . such toxicity you are not alive jkeeper but healer the job to heal ppl not let them get low as f.
Hello sir I did not say to leave them at 1 Hp or anything, as long as they won’t die, which I didn’t really specify a number, I would agree 70% is a healthy level to keep them at 👍👍
Yess as a learning WHM who kinda suffers from healer anxiety, loved this! Tysm, got great advice I hadn't heard elsewhere 🫶 Ps. Some people in the comments need to chill. Please remember there are players who are new to the game and want to take their time to learn and enjoy the content. Don't ruin it for us just bc you've played for a longer time.

That's what is called rescue.
Use it for anything else aand it becomes Griefing. And you can be reported for it.

@@selenyhr AAH This makes so much sense now, thanks for letting us know!
@@selenyhr Interesting. I wasn't aware they changed it!
Obsolete advice. It no longer generates agro per tick. Not since Endwalker. It just generate agro ONCE at the moment of cast.
I'm curious to know, does Direct Hit or Determination affect healing numbers?
no they only affect damage output, mind affects healing done, piety affects mp regeneration
@@StingcatKnight I read on icy viens just a few minutes ago that DET increases healing.
@@Sals-Clips damn let me check again
EDIT: damn I think u might be right on this one!
So you have to wait for a boss to start casting to throw up a shield or that shield wont count? You can only mit during the boss's cast window?

WOW thanks, i learned alot from this video, very informative!

I've seen some people using Rescue outside of combat. NEVER EVER DO THAT. That's the biggest insult possible and for no reason too.
LOL, i think they do it to troll their friends mostly
@@StingcatKnight that would be ok, but I've got two strangers doing it to me as a tank to force me to pull more than I intended or go faster

I agree with your 2nd point 👍, certainly no need to keep tank maxed out in hp at all times if it takes away uptime!
I almost NEVER get regen aggro and when it does rarely happen it's very easy to just run to the tank.
Sorry but... medica 1 should never be used if 2 is an option. Do more damage so they take less damage.
Yes I agree but I said don’t use medica 2 for single target, I did not say to not use it for multi target healing
What other tips do you have for our fellow healer mains?
GCD healing bad
got it
Best regards, Jajadoa
Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Not bad
Tossing Regen pre pull can give you aggro if the tank doesn't aoe right away per pull.
It’s no problem, just walk into tank, it usually don’t happen 👍
