The TWO CRUCIAL things you don't understand about healing in FFXIV!

[@TheCrybabyOtaku]

Awesome content thanks for the helpful video

[@BunBossFFXIV]

Thanks it’s one of those things, we all see it, but how does it really apply kinda thing 😅

[@cuppapablo]

I'll still be a mediocre healer, but now I'll be a learned mediocre healer. good johb, bun.

[@Ikari1212]

I heard you talk a lot about "emergency" usage, which is inherently a wrong mindset in FF14 healing. All healing is a big puzzle to be solved with your co-healer. That includes your big Cooldowns. You use them when needed. You don't save them for "emergencies". Because if you do, you will lack the tools to avoid GCD heals (when necessary). So rather than "emergency usage", focus on using them smartly and when possible on cooldown. That's when you get the most out of your abilities.

[@ComposerCharlie]

This is REALLY useful. Thanks! ♥ One small edit - Astro DOES have Synastry to help with healing potency on a single target, but yeah. :)

[@BunBossFFXIV]

Aw thank you! Synastry doesn’t apply to what I was inching down on here to the extent of me adding it. It’s a subpar ability compared to the power of astro and should be avoided at all cost :)

[@ComposerCharlie]

@@BunBossFFXIV I agree...Considering Astros' current bloat issue, I imagine (hope) they'll get rid of Synastry in the job overhaul!

[@rullurx7386]

That Sysastry and single target heal does not work to make your heal more potency

[@brokenglish]

Very informative and straight to the point without useless fillers. Thank you :)

[@vegassims7]

I really love your informative videos.. I have been playing for 5 years and I am learning stuff I never knew. Black mage is my main too.

[@BunBossFFXIV]

Aw thanks!! 💕

[@AZodiacCancer]

Asylums buff also stays for about 1 server tick when you leave it if you got the tick. Same for sacred soil. AST has the inverse with their bubble, idr skill names. But you can press it once and go back to doing GCDs and it still applies. Spells and Abilities are on tooltips now, it used to be magic and spells which could be confusing.

[@tonyike8451]

Astrodyne is a healing potency buff but not magic buff so it works with healing abilities like earthly star. Which is the only real "healing" you mostly do there. Earthly star works like a pet which in its own is a whole other topic about healing/damage

[@BunBossFFXIV]

Yeee still so tiny buff and not actually plannable since your at the mercy of rng for that buff specifically

[@Anya_khaos]

even tho I'm a healer main that's been raiding for years; nice video. I hope more people learn of this coz u see mistakes to this every day xD

Yay!!!! So glad that a veteran approves of this! ♥️♥️❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

I honestly didn't know that about the Asylum Bubble, making Cure II heal for more. Thank you.

[@rayvang2536]

Huh. Seems I've been using Zoe wrong. And thanks for the tip with the level 90 skill!

[@BunBossFFXIV]

Happy to help!

[@lofipiggy7718]

One thing I know about healing is don't play healer so I don't have to deal with dice.

[@XieRH1988]

the fact that so much healing in endgame is done using oGCDs makes me feel that a healing buff that only buffs the healing of GCDs is bad design and just adds unnecessary nuance to the job design, kind of like mitigations or damage buffs that only apply to physical or magical

[@BunBossFFXIV]

For other healers it may be the case and seems kinda unbalanced but they are still useful in end game scenarios and that’s when the exiting stuff happens.

[@apathy2454]

That Zoe + EP shield is so strong and I love that it last for a long time too.

[@BunBossFFXIV]

Yea that is good for pre pull boss shields

[@dubs6889]

you should be using zoe on pneuma as it makes the 600 potency heal into a 900 potency heal

[@BunBossFFXIV]

Yeee it’s fine either way, as most people don’t use Zoe at all so if there using it, on the path for good healing 😅

[@apathy2454]

@@dubs6889 I have used it on pheuma but I barely ever have to use it bc Sage kit is already very competent with its other abilities.

Super cool and useful info, but when does my glare get to do as much damage as a limit break?

[@CaroKannffxiv]

Thanks for doing the tests for me, didnt feel like it myself :]

@@BunBossFFXIV exactly, can't die if you hit stuff hard enough... Or something. (stacking defense buttons and using shake is also a great way to parse high on your heal parse :)) Ie. Thrill, blood and right before it turns off you use shake and pray the boss does an aoe

OK but scholar far illumination can be used for preventing to take dmg as it gives a dmg reduction to. So that's not that bad. 😅 Copium.

[@BunBossFFXIV]

correct, we are just talking about healing in this video :)

[@surfangel8572]

Thank you answering the long time question I've had and was too lazy to test for myself. "What EXACTLY does increased healing potency affect?" and now that I think about it 🤔this explains the results I got when testing astro card buff now for the other questions I'm too lazy to science: "Do abilities that say 'heal potency equivalent' get affected by any buffs or debuffs at all?" (e.g. SGE haima or GNB brutal shell shield) "Why does SCH sacred soil say 'take 90% of damage' instead of 'reduce damage by 10%'? Would that be affected by anything? Does it stack differently with other mitigations? Can it reduce true damage? :o"

[@tehmonkey9800]

For the sacred soil thing as far as I know the only difference is the wording. It stacks in the same way as other mit's do. So for "take 90% + "10% reduction" actually total's 19% total mitgation. (you take 90% damage then 10% of the resulting damage.) For the "heal potency equivalent" as far as I know yes they do. They are calculated the same way as normal heal potency. At least to my understanding.

[@surfangel8572]

@@tehmonkey9800 If sacred soil works the way I thing it does then that goes back to primary question of "why????"

[@ExpectingMonkeys]

@@surfangel8572 it’s likely just a remnant of the way they used to word things compared to how they word things now.

[@YM-bq1oo]

You are assuming people read their skills, so you are already wrong. Most people playing healers does for faster queue time and such. Same goes for tank and this is why you have tank dying from auto attack and tank don't know how to use reprisal, arm's length and mitigation properly at level 90.

[@MaakaSakuranbo]

I read my skills, but hard to remember that "action" and such are specific keywords if I'm not used to it, instead of just... well things you use

[@cynthiahembree3957]

Unfortunately this is true. I did it because I was tired of having healers in dungeons who were bad. Can't get a bad healer if I am the healer.
