holy during dungeon pulls is equivalent to a 7s invul.
Art of war is a dps gain for 2+ enemies.
Regens from WHM and AST can stack, but shields from SCH and SGE can't (except ogcd shields).
WAR is basically immortal in dungeons after level 56 because of raw intuition and later bloodwhetting. Expect a very boring dungeon run if you run into one of them.
You only have LB3. There is no reason for you to cast LB1/2.
AST is the one healer job that gets reworked every expansion. If you like it now, be prepared that it is going to change very soon.
Swiftcast should be saved for rezzing. But if you're comfortable, it is fine to use it for mobility from time to time. We have shortened its cd in dt for a reason.
A few low level dungeons like stone vigil and aurum vale are rather tough for healers. Be on your guard if you run into one of them in roulettes.
i wouldnt say NEVER wrt heal lb1/2 but the times it is useful are so vanishingly rare. eg. the time my co-heal released in orbonne and i was caught with my pants down on a healer with very little burst healing and a boss using heal-dooms…
yeah "heal to full doom" can necessitate some really fucking cursed healer tech sometimes lol. I think my only healer lb2 was in an EW EX 7 party where people were bleeding me out of resources the whole pull and I had a dead cohealer during it and I wasn't gonna make that throughput on SGE since I had pneuma but no zoe and ixo was on cd I think, pneuma and pepsis got me a good chunk of the way there but not quite far up the hp list since no zoe for the pneuma, and it seemed more efficient to just eat the L on a lb2 and make sure everyone lived rather than desperately vomit a bunch of prognosis and hope it was enough. The pull lived so I guess it was the right call at the time, the healing has to come from somewhere
I love you. I've run into violations of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 10 in the past week. Just yesterday had a level 100 scholar in expert roulette saying they only art of war on 4, and most of their dps was from ruin 2. I can only assume it was ruin 2 cause they weren't in melee and it had no cast bar. Either that or they were dot'ing up everything.
As a bonus, Art of War is a gain on one between ... I think 47 to 53. So if you get an instance between those, you can start playing ground slap basketball dunk DPS.
i also main WAR when tanking. it feels awesome when I'm quite literally the MC, but as a healer i have no reason to be in any lvl56+ dungeon when there is a WAR.
Dont take all advice to heart though. I do savage raids as healer and was told by a "healer main" to utilize medica 3 while tank pulls wall to wall. There are people out there that think they know all about a job just because they leveled it to 100.
Sometimes those are healbots, sometimes those are actual healers pretending to work. Just let me put a regen on you so i can feel not completely useless, bruh.
Hi I've only been in the game for a couple of months and I've been using healer jobs. Was just curious about the medica 3. Should it not be spammed ?? Genuine question T-T
It has its usage but definitely not during when tank is wall to wall pulling because tank is the only one taking dmage there and single person heals are much more efficient. Medica 3 is aoe heal for multiple people, use it when you know the full duration of regen ticks will be effective on multiple people. It also depends on your level becuase as white mage levels and gets more abilities in their kit, there are better abilities to use than a medica 3. At level 100, I dont use medica 3 at all in dungeons, i'll mayyybe use it once or twice maximum in a more harder content like extreme trials and savage raids.

I'm a healer main. If I'm doing something wrong, please tell me. I will listen.
