@@Work2Game yup the only thing is you gotta change your party list order and have it in a way where the main tank in a full party(8) is around the middle of the party list so you single target heal
Incredibly helpful! This is my first mmorpg and whew. Learning nearly everything from the ground-up is overwhelming. Just set-up my keybinds same as yours and it was so much better than what I was doing before. Thanks muchly!
Thanks. This is my first online game ever and I’ve just started. I panicked on the dungeon trying to cycle through targeting all the enemies and party members. Those setting are super handy. The rest I will try and learn haha
Work To Game :) My mom said as a young child I would make sure people didn’t call me Briana and spell it out lol Only downside is I never got a nickname lol
I should've said this on your last general controller guide, but I really appreciate your controller guides, Brian. As someone who has started to experience the world of RSI-related injuries, your guides have helped me be able to continue to game comfortably. I'm not "quite" at the level to be confident enough to do end-game content with a controller, but I'm getting there. If anything it's just nice to have an option to switch things up and get me off the keyboard and mouse for a bit.
Anthony, you've just given me a whole new perspective on me making these guides.Thanks for this comment, that really means a lot and I'm really glad I could help out in some small way. :)
I currently play a dps w/ controller and wanted to start up a healer as a second class. I was nervous how it would translate to controller, but it doesn't look too bad. There will be a learning curve of course, but pretty handy tips and tricks you have shared to make the learning process easier - thanks! I just hope I don't have to change too much from how I have controller set up in the systems menus currently for dps.
Oh my god this upload was timed peeeeerfectly! I just hopped back into the game recently after a few months without internet, due to moving and such, and I don't really like the new feel of SCH so I started leveling WHM. Thanks yet again my mentor in spirit~
Been playing for 4 years and I had no idea you could use target macros on non-target actions like asylum and earthly star. Definitely will come in handy. Thanks. 😊
This is actually useful as im about to jump back into FFXIV on PS4 but won't have access to a keyboard for a bit longer as mine needs replaced, so im gonna have to learn controller for the game.
True, macros don't queue, but we mostly press a button a lot as that ability becomes available, so the difference in timing is mostly irrelevant, maybe a quarter or less of a second, if that. EDIT: I mean, for just incase anyone is put off by macros. They do have a downside where they may not activate if you are pressing a lot of buttons quickly, though this is rare it will likely break your rhythm if you are annoyed by it, otherwise you simply adapt and use that ability 2 or 3 seconds later.
I've been playing m&k for as long as I can remember, but recently started having some wrist pain and ended up switching to controller, its so comfy now. That being said, controller doesn't beat the reaction time you can have with m&k, specially when using mouse over macros.
This is great! I play on pc but have horrendous carpal tunnel in my hands and wrists, so I've been struggling as a lvl 66 whm swapping bars trying to remember what is on them. I'm really hoping that this helps with the speed of my healing as I get out of HW! Only problem is, you've got your bar 3 visible in a 12x1 and mine refuses to appear like that. I'm sure it's a user error though.
I was waiting to hear about how to best quickly switch between targeting players to heal and targeting enemies to dps. Did I miss it? I remember the but would like to avoid macros. I've seen there's an option to soft target, where you cast once and I think you go to your original target afterwards. Any tips would be great, on mouse/keyboard I put all my heals on mouseover targets so I could just hit them quickly and keep dpsing my previous target. Is there anything like this? I suppose that's the soft target option but it would be nice to be able to leave my up/down cursor on party members but keep dpsing the enemies. Sorry for rambling, any help is appreciated. I'm trying to move from PC to PS4 game play
I know that this reply comes a bit late but he mentioned sheathing his weapon or unsheathing it and this one action enables him to switch between allies and enemies. Like by sheathing your weapon you will only be able to focus your spells on party members. Unsheathing it will have you focus on enemies alone. You will have to set this up via the options first though.
@@Wablin under character settings there is cycle targeting filters which enables switching with L1+shortcut but I can usually target without touching anything too too much, better than sheathe. I'm able to tab R1 to cycle target enemies and press < and > to cycle target party members. I try to position carefully between tank and melee dps. That being said, it does seem rougher on console.
Great guide, I've only just started trying out being a healer but this has helped a lot. Just one question what is the macro you have on raise. I'm not sure you covered it in the video.
I am moving to gamepad today. I have a xbox one controller. I play healers, and I have healed up too Dzemael Darkhold. They do get much harder as they go up, and I am use to WoW healing so its really different for me at the moment. I am going to stick to the first couple of dungeons as I learn my gamepad. No idea how I select players to heal yet. Maybe its in your guide. Watching now. Ty for sharing.
If you jump into my ultimate controller guide, or check out my updated guides posted on Ginger Prime, you should be good to go. If you have any questions let me know, here to help. :) I use up and down on the d-pad for healing, and left and right for targeting enemies, but youc an even setup macro commands and so much more. :)
@@Work2Game I am a healer from WoW, Learning FF14 healing is different and I would say harder due to the mana cost and delays. I have not used a gamepad before and I found trying to heal the first dungeon with one. Really a pest. I can see how they will be good, But controlling the camera is a real pain. I wonder if I can find games that work on PC that use a Xbox controller so I can get some practice in
Not sure if Brian has seen this comment yet but the most common macro on raise is to announce that the raise is incoming. It helps other healers know it went out and the player to be ready to accept. Simply putting in a macro to cast and to say a phrase in chat that says your target and that you are raising them is the idea.
Hmmm I think I notice and it isn't just you but with a lot of guides is that they don't go over too much about when to use what abilities where if it isn't a DPS rotation guide and then show examples of it. I thought maybe you would do more of this at the end of the video (to be fair you kinda sprinkle this kind of stuff through out the video). For example, when is a good time to use Cure 3 over medica or medica 2? How do you heal big pulls? Should you use Asylum on pulls of 4 or 5+ mobs? Should you spam holy starting at 2 mobs or 3? I get that each situation can be different, but nice guidelines for people who are new to WHM.
I think there are multiple issues with trying to do that, and I guess the first is that I believe (I didn't create the video) that it was intended to be a controller guide first and a healing guide second. But the real problem I think is that there are different viewpoints on healing and what healers should or should not be doing. At a base level this could be someone saying "healers should be spending at least 75% of their gcd's on damage spells" and on the opposite end it could be "healers should keep people alive and not focus on damage." But things can get WAY more granular and you can get into discussions over things like how to use a single ability such as Assize. Many people believe it should be treated solely as a damage ability and should be used right away, full-stop, without any healing (or over-healing) taken into account. Most of these people would be savage+ raiders. Whereas others might believe it's better to wait for at least the first raid-wide aoe to go out so you cash-in on the healing as well. Granted, some topics such as briefly explaining when Holy is more efficient than Glare damage-wise would be easy to cover, because it's literally just a numbers thing. But in general, I think ability use-cases and overall healer-gameplay tips is kind of a broad topic to tackle in this video imo, one that requires a lot of nuance and a lot of discussion in and of itself.
It's excellent feedback for sure, from what we've found with these guides is it's very difficult for someone to want to sit through 45 minutes where half of the video doesn't really pertain to them. We are working on our job specific guides that go into that level of detail (you can see some of our older ones on the channel), I could always be wrong and perhaps people do want even longer guides, please let me know what you think. :)
@@anthonytangeman945 I'll concede that it's a controller guide first. I went in assuming it would be a WHM 101 first with some controller stuff. As I said I know each situation is different, but what I am talking about is more on a learning level than a savage level. This is why most of my examples tended to me more toward dungeons cause this is where people new to healing or newish to healing would start. When you talk when to use Assize, that is beyond the scope of what I am talking about cause if you're raiding savage, you have a solid idea what to do. Now Assize in dungeons, this is where Brian can put his personal input and opinion which would help. A good example is when he talks about using Dia on the move when the tank is pulling adds.
@@Theendgamelv3 the point of what I was saying was that I thought more specific direction as to how to perform on WHM would require its own dedicated video and thus would be outside of the this video's scope (seeing as it was meant to be a controller guide). My example about assize was just one topic that I thought of (because I talk to my healer friends about it) that could've been covered in a future guide dedicated towards healing and was supposed to show how in depth you could get about healing and why it might not be best to include that in the controller guide video for WHM. In short, the topic of assize wasn't the point, but that there are several topics that you could go over in a healer guide that you would need plenty of time to cover, so best to dedicate a video (or two) to it.
@@Work2Game Yea a 45 min guide would be a tad too long lol. I assumed this was your main WHM guide and you were also throwing in controller as well. I apologize in thinking this was your main guide when you have made a main guide in the past for WHM and you pretty much did what I was suggesting with personal input and tips. I would say when you do make a updated 101 guide, try to add what healers should do on top of what you were doing before.
Ah thanks, I'm on my SAM (logged out) but you can check my character profile - na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/1356294/ I'll try and update you on what gear I'm rocking next time I get online. Going to try and stream tonight if you want to join us :)
Well, Cure 3 is for aoe situations, so it has its own use case. But comparing Cure and Cure 2, I really only keep Cure on my hotbars for low level dungeons or on the very off-chance at max level where I have died, been rezzed, and both Lucid Dreaming AND Thin Air are on cooldown (so I don't have mana regen going on). Basically, I only use Cure for duties where I don't have Cure 2 available, or in the most dire of situations lol EDIT: OR if we are in downtime on a fight and I want to top someone off and they don't happen to have (or need) a regen running on them.
Personally I rarly cast cure, and just default to cure 2, because I don't have MP issues on WTM, however, there could be times where cure will be cast. :)
I have issues with staring at health bars too often 😅 is there an easier way to watch the battlefield and HP? I don’t see HP bars above my party members heads, so I’m always checking the party bar
Move the party bar closer to what works for your vision and comfort, use the UI to better help. But you can also turn on party member health bars (I believe, or maybe I'm just miss-remembering something.)
I play ff14 on PC when it came out and want go back to play on ps4 but because i love healing in MMO I was afraid controller not good for healer but look good, is it worth it to go back in ff14 as a nee player
Cool and all but how do you target another player character in Bozjan that needs a heal without cycling thru the 8934 green health bar'd resistance NPCs. Truly, they could do better with the custom targeting. Namely, allowing you to name your filters. Otherwise you just end up with all of them being called Custom.
So my selected party member resets when I cast a spell on them. Is there anyone to have it retain so I can cast multiple spells and no have to reselect them?
from never playing games like this with so many options - i find this aspect the hardest to get my head around. So far i have just left it as it comes and dont use any macros at all. Also dont even use any extended hot bars - just the left and right bars as standard so 8 slots per side only. At some stage i will have to start having a play around with it though - especially the hud layout
I was the same, and I recommend setting up the full cross hotbar sooner rather than later. The double tap starts becoming second nature after awhile. I'm doing lvl 70 stuff with no issues, took me some time to adjust but it's worth doing
@@jeremyleon9744 I have been playing around with that last night. I just need to spend a bit more time i think getting used to all the options and the hud setup as well. But plenty of videos to help. Like you said its just putting the time in and getting used to it.
@@jameznash I feel you... I spent 3 hrs on my hud but I really like it, it's not as clean as PC users but it's really aesthetically balanced and I think it looks better than most of the ones I've seen on vids lol. I wish i could share a pic here it's my pride and joy lol
Also as far as macros goes I just have a few...mostly space savers or things I always plan to use together. Like I married sprint and mount to L3 and R3; swift+rez, and asylum (this one is a lifesaver). Helps you get all abilities into cross bar in useful locations and make them easier to use
That would be the Weathered Tishtrya, which you can acquire from the Grenoldt npc in The Tempest after having completed all of your healer role quests.
Cries in unreleased Xbox version 😞 seriously thought it was going to be announced at the recent event, decided just to start playing on PS4 Pro but those load times are rough
I really wish someone would have the decency/wherewithal to do this for keyboard/mouse because I'm struggling so much coming back to ff14 after a break and trying to pick up keybinds/spell rotations/macros and hotbars so frustrating
Hello, with the input timer it doesnt work for me i think i did hitting the bumper 2 times r2 or l2 i guess but it doesnt switch to the other bar Any one can help with this ?
Overwhelming? They should take a look at my UI... I'm using almost all of hte hot bars and basically have buttons from one side of the screen to the chatbox XD
Not sure if he’s around today. Between this and the guide about guides for just controller (I think This is a more recent one. ua-cam.com/video/vOFHeZxJOgo/v-deo.html) what question do you have specifically
One thing I don't like about what they did with WHM is that they took away the earthly elemental aspect of it. It plays wonderfully. But from a thematic standpoint I kind of wish they didn't do what they did. Like, Dia and Glare are both cool. Afflatus misery is great, WHM foul is basically what it is. But I really miss having Aero and Stone. I wish they kept the aoe Aero DoT spell and made some kind of offensive spell involving Stone magick. Fluid aura is even more useless since it doesn't knockback and stun. Now it just stuns. Fluid aura was AMAZING in PvP. But then they took that away with 5.1 patch. Overall WHM is a great healing class that I think is a but underrated since most people like SCH and AST. My gripes mostly are just purely from an aesthetic point. Great video guide.
I will say this until the day FFXIV shuts down: I would rather have Aero 3 than Aflatus Misery because maintaining 2 dots is more engaging than having what is essentially WHM Foul on a 90 second cooldown. Aesthetically I think they should have kept some of the wind/earth elements but still gone into the Dia/Glare line of....I guess light-themed magic? I'm not sure what to classify them as, but in classic FF games getting Holy late game was a huge deal, so I think it makes sense that WHM should continue to lean into that theme of light magic. But yeah, I agree it'd be nice if they'd keep some of the nature elements as well (Bring back Aero 3!)
@@anthonytangeman945 It would be cool if they added some kind of twister spell that would act as DoT that would follow whichever target you casted it on. Maybe an aoe DoT with earthquake? Maybe Fluid Aura could work similar to SMN where the DoT from glare can be extended to other enemies from the splashing of water. There's alot of things they could make.
@@anthonytangeman945 Could definitely reduce the time on dia a bit and maybe the potency to compensate. It's only one DoT so it wouldn't be to complex to tweak like they have to with SMN or BRD. I know people hated those things getting screwed and the justification was "well you have two so we nerfed both into nothing."

I use for my offensive skills and usually keep my target lock on the tank.

Been playing for 4 years and I had no idea you could use target macros on non-target actions like asylum and earthly star. Definitely will come in handy. Thanks. 😊

EDIT: OR if we are in downtime on a fight and I want to top someone off and they don't happen to have (or need) a regen running on them.
Personally I rarly cast cure, and just default to cure 2, because I don't have MP issues on WTM, however, there could be times where cure will be cast. :)
mannn i was a beast in ffxi on xbox. devastated that ffxiv is not on xbox. cant wait until they finally put it on the xbox.
Should come out before the summer of 2020 unless there is a delay
I have issues with staring at health bars too often 😅 is there an easier way to watch the battlefield and HP? I don’t see HP bars above my party members heads, so I’m always checking the party bar
Move the party bar closer to what works for your vision and comfort, use the UI to better help.
But you can also turn on party member health bars (I believe, or maybe I'm just miss-remembering something.)
Work To Game I’ll give that a go! Thanks, sometimes I get hit by boss mechanics keeping my party alive lol. I’ll check settings out
Is it possible to have different HUD layout for different jobs?
It is. This video should cover how you set that up - ua-cam.com/video/0X8msHsAhDk/v-deo.html
@Work To Game thank you so much the video helped alot
I play ff14 on PC when it came out and want go back to play on ps4 but because i love healing in MMO I was afraid controller not good for healer but look good, is it worth it to go back in ff14 as a nee player
I love these pronunciations 😂. I’m definitely using this for my SCH
Thanks Kevin. :)
I need that bike mount!
Will be giving mounts away on stream, planning on streaming tomorrow just FYI. :)
Cool and all but how do you target another player character in Bozjan that needs a heal without cycling thru the 8934 green health bar'd resistance NPCs.
Truly, they could do better with the custom targeting. Namely, allowing you to name your filters. Otherwise you just end up with all of them being called Custom.
So my selected party member resets when I cast a spell on them. Is there anyone to have it retain so I can cast multiple spells and no have to reselect them?
from never playing games like this with so many options - i find this aspect the hardest to get my head around. So far i have just left it as it comes and dont use any macros at all. Also dont even use any extended hot bars - just the left and right bars as standard so 8 slots per side only.
At some stage i will have to start having a play around with it though - especially the hud layout
I was the same, and I recommend setting up the full cross hotbar sooner rather than later. The double tap starts becoming second nature after awhile. I'm doing lvl 70 stuff with no issues, took me some time to adjust but it's worth doing
@@jeremyleon9744 I have been playing around with that last night. I just need to spend a bit more time i think getting used to all the options and the hud setup as well. But plenty of videos to help. Like you said its just putting the time in and getting used to it.
@@jameznash I feel you... I spent 3 hrs on my hud but I really like it, it's not as clean as PC users but it's really aesthetically balanced and I think it looks better than most of the ones I've seen on vids lol. I wish i could share a pic here it's my pride and joy lol
Also as far as macros goes I just have a few...mostly space savers or things I always plan to use together. Like I married sprint and mount to L3 and R3; swift+rez, and asylum (this one is a lifesaver). Helps you get all abilities into cross bar in useful locations and make them easier to use
Sorry my keyboard farted...not married I meant 'macroed'
I love that staff so much. Tell me which one is it 😉
That would be the Weathered Tishtrya, which you can acquire from the Grenoldt npc in The Tempest after having completed all of your healer role quests.
^ Yep! :)
What is the name of this white mage weapon? I like it
Cries in unreleased Xbox version 😞 seriously thought it was going to be announced at the recent event, decided just to start playing on PS4 Pro but those load times are rough
I can't find the pulse of life in my skills. in which level you get it and where it is in the actions
Was there a Dancer guide?
The community hasn't voted for it yet, once I'm done with SAM we'll have a new poll :)
@@Work2Game what was the raise macro?
Oh yeah...
/macroicon "Raise"
/ac "Raise"
/p Rise and shine
I really wish someone would have the decency/wherewithal to do this for keyboard/mouse because I'm struggling so much coming back to ff14 after a break and trying to pick up keybinds/spell rotations/macros and hotbars
so frustrating
Hello, with the input timer it doesnt work for me i think i did hitting the bumper 2 times r2 or l2 i guess but it doesnt switch to the other bar
Any one can help with this ?
Overwhelming? They should take a look at my UI... I'm using almost all of hte hot bars and basically have buttons from one side of the screen to the chatbox XD
Send me a pick in discord if you feel up to it (no judgement, just curious) :)
@@Work2Game If I remember to do that I will =)
Cool, no worries if you forget.
@@Work2Game I PM'd you (Brian?) on discord - although it's under a different alias (as this alias is UA-cam only).
Still waiting on you to tell me how to set my controller up like this brian, i'll try reaching you on discord if you dont reply here
Not sure if he’s around today. Between this and the guide about guides for just controller (I think This is a more recent one. ua-cam.com/video/vOFHeZxJOgo/v-deo.html) what question do you have specifically
Video doesn't start until like 5 minutes in, way too much talking at the beginning
i wish this was a ps4 controller.
One thing I don't like about what they did with WHM is that they took away the earthly elemental aspect of it. It plays wonderfully. But from a thematic standpoint I kind of wish they didn't do what they did.
Like, Dia and Glare are both cool.
Afflatus misery is great, WHM foul is basically what it is.
But I really miss having Aero and Stone. I wish they kept the aoe Aero DoT spell and made some kind of offensive spell involving Stone magick.
Fluid aura is even more useless since it doesn't knockback and stun. Now it just stuns. Fluid aura was AMAZING in PvP.
But then they took that away with 5.1 patch.
Overall WHM is a great healing class that I think is a but underrated since most people like SCH and AST. My gripes mostly are just purely from an aesthetic point.
Great video guide.
I will say this until the day FFXIV shuts down: I would rather have Aero 3 than Aflatus Misery because maintaining 2 dots is more engaging than having what is essentially WHM Foul on a 90 second cooldown.
Aesthetically I think they should have kept some of the wind/earth elements but still gone into the Dia/Glare line of....I guess light-themed magic? I'm not sure what to classify them as, but in classic FF games getting Holy late game was a huge deal, so I think it makes sense that WHM should continue to lean into that theme of light magic. But yeah, I agree it'd be nice if they'd keep some of the nature elements as well (Bring back Aero 3!)
@@anthonytangeman945 It would be cool if they added some kind of twister spell that would act as DoT that would follow whichever target you casted it on.
Maybe an aoe DoT with earthquake?
Maybe Fluid Aura could work similar to SMN where the DoT from glare can be extended to other enemies from the splashing of water.
There's alot of things they could make.
@@Zayindjejfj I really like the dot spreading idea. I think it would be a nice compromise if they didn't want healers to have multiple dots again.
@@anthonytangeman945 Could definitely reduce the time on dia a bit and maybe the potency to compensate. It's only one DoT so it wouldn't be to complex to tweak like they have to with SMN or BRD.
I know people hated those things getting screwed and the justification was "well you have two so we nerfed both into nothing."
Ah-SIZE, not Ah-ZEEZ.
Finally lol
I’ve been waiting for this for 4 months lol
Thanks for the patients, working on SAM now, and will do another poll soon. :)
Tighten up that intro
Thanks for the feedback /)
3 min intro? Too long for n00bs like me who are itching for help
3 minute intro...
3 minutes of self advertising....lol.... No way to watch that crap
Shame you’ll miss out
Zu Vermieten just skip it - he has good info
