WHM ideals question

Why not plan to not sacrifice anyone in the party (yourself or other)? I'm completly serious.

There are so many ways to handle the unexpected stuff that comes along in a party as a whm. The higher you get, the easier this is. Just for example, if you see things going south throw up blink, big cure, followed by stoneskin. Stoneskin and blink will give the pld enough time to pull it off you again plus all the dmg stoneskin absorbs = hate loss as if it was real hp. If your tank is already down (freak ws or dc) then you have sleep available. I keep elemental seal macroed with sleep and my dark staff. That's a guranteed 30-40 seconds of safety to regroup or get away.

Later you are going to get whm af and cure 5. With these two you will never pull hate from cures with the exception of some big curagas or a divine seal cure 4. About the same time you get cure 5, if you are subbing blm you will get escape. This is the perfect solution for sour situations if you aren't near a zone.

As you can see, there is always an alternative you can make that doesn't involve planning to sacrifice anyone.

Yes, I agree with this of course, when you have the tools to do this, like the Cure 5 you are referring to.

Unfortunatly, especially at lower level, there are times when all the tricks in the bag won't do, like pulling a linking gobs in Yhoator, the party will just not be able to handle 2 at once (in the first few levels there anyway).

The main thing is to remain calm. Just like in a boss fight, like Promy runs, if people keep their cool 90% of the time you will make it through. If someone panics.... it will just keep going worst.

One last thing: Communication! Talk to one another, let others know what you are doing so they can adjust. Best exemple, BLM sleeps a link that popped and someone voke it to avoid the death of a mage and keps wacking at it, making it impossible to sleep. That would also fall in the "keep your calm" advice.
 
A WHM's job is keeping the party alive. if it means killing themselves in the process, so be it :P

a tanks job is to get killed, the slowest possable way without getting anyone else hurt.
 
{/kneel} You are an example for all whm's. It would be an honor to party with someone such as yourself.

There are many valid points here. Your attitude is awsome, I wouldn't change a thing. :lol:
