Whm - Advice

The only reasons to ever take a rdm over a whm are sleep spells or to refresh a blu/pld. That's just my opinion. Oh and the occasional dispel if the brd is out away from the party and pulling.
 
for whm vs rdm in healing or cannoning... err...

Reya ego trip go!!! There's a reason why they call me the meritpo whm and I promise you if you invite me to your next merit party cannon or standard I'll make you love the whm... love it good...

Merited Regen III + AF2 is soooo nice when you're on the go! We get some pretty kick ass merits to help us on both partying and fighting hard stuff.

But for real, most rdms I've party'd with make okay main healers. I think the biggest issue I find with rdms in this possition is they try to play the rdm role instead of a healer. Which isn't a bad thing, it just comes down to mp management. Sure you rdms have convert which seems pretty nice but at the same time it is only a 10 minute cool down and does only so much if you are cycling through all your spells. An example of this would be a red mage who while main healing in a party will cycle through his/her debuffs (para, dia, bio, slow) buffs (including hastes, refresh, regen etc) on top of their cures. Very few people I have seen be able to pull this off sucessfully. Most of the time when a member who has been sitting in yellow or orange hp dies they'll ask the rdm "Why didn't you cure me?" In responce I see all too much v.v "I wasn't through my haste cycle yet"

In my personal expierence, even outside of myself being a whm for a party I find myself more comfortable with a whm as my healer over a rdm. Doesn't mean I don't love you red hat wearin' dudes :)

GL with whm though it's great :D
 
Thanks for all the tips!

I've build a lot of the macro suggestions into my sets already looking foward to more partying when I get my blm up some (dang subjobs :) might just take it to 37)


I was playing last night and was going to go to Whitegate for the first time ever, but I see a call for teleport-Mea in jueno so I pick them up. Ask them what takes them to mea. The guy says that's he's trying to get keys for Kazham and has no idea what means. So I take him out to giddeos and my internet connection dies for half an hour :(. But yeah, that's what I like being able to do with my time, meet people, help'em out and have fun. I guess I get to go to whitegate tonight!

TRUEBLOOD, if you are out there, I didn't mean to bail on you..
 
That's where WHM excells, no matter what your friends are doing you can always help somehow. You can either help during their battle, or give them the teleport they need. Either way, you'll have something to do =P
