Yeah... people don't realize what it's like being healer in XIV lol. My best friend who mains DRK and I switched jobs for funsies once and I'll never forget him screaming at the top of his lungs "THIS IS THE WORST THING IVE EVER HAD TO DO" the trial in question? Ifrit on normal.

[@obviouslykaleb7998]

Ifrit is a hell of a tutorial. It’s a challenge for everyone involved: the tank is NECESSITATED to turn him around immediately because of the flame breath cone, the DPS need to change targets to the needle and the healer has to heal the damage of the cone while attacking the needle. It is the perfect Hall of Novice vibe check and I find it glorious.

[@TheDustyMuffinsss]

Have i been playing a different game from everyone here??? Healing is a surprisingly easy role once you get in the motions. Dont need to think about rotations or mitigations, just single button attacks and occasional heals.

[@sleepysera]

@@obviouslykaleb7998 You can literally outheal the dmg of the tank turning the breath attack directly into the party the entire time plus solo down the single nail yourself as a healer and still be fine. Ifrit Normal is so mind-numbingly simple that even if NO ONE but you does their job, you can clear it just fine.

[@obviouslykaleb7998]

@@sleepysera that’s a gear issue though, not a design issue. In the same way thordan normal is supposed to be a cool climax of the story, but he dies before anyone can even register what’s happening. But I’ll admit my bias here: I wiped my first time on ifrit to the nails. I was playing LNC, and either nobody knew but the tank or they wanted to wipe. It was this moment that taught me both that mechanics exist and difficulty can be used as a narrative tool. It’s frankly a shame that the devs don’t see the value of difficulty.

[@Kramdaddy]

I had such a bad experience healing the first week of SB's launch with tanks thinking they were hot shit pulling to boss doors their first time in the dungeon; dropping aggro, not popping mitigation, not doing rotations, that I noped out of healing since, and I was healing all the way in 1.0. I know it's easier now with changes to TP and enmity, but holy hell, the amount of stress I had versus the tanks just speed-running fresh content that I couldn't enjoy as I scream in horror. I do see tanks asking their healers what kind of pulls they want, so at least this is an improvement. Anyhow, I main a SAM these days.

[@maikatase]

At first I was thinking "oh, a smart tank, pulling big and taking advantage of the crystal buff which reduces damage taken by 90%"... Nope, the tank does a big pull and they dances in and out of the crystal buff on the first pull. I knew exactly what Jesse was in for after that.

[@MillieBoBilly]

[@thebard5019]

I healed this dungeon for the first time as my SCH recently, literally made me nope the heck out of the class and level WHM And then i realized healing just stresses me out in general and now I have two of them over 50

[@Willias]

1:39 First big pull. JC hits 182 HP due to getting hit by Eyes on Me outside of crystal's protection (purple area on ground). Shortly following, tank takes big pull of mobs outside of crystal's protection (makes you take significantly less damage from ALL attacks and is why tanks can get away with big pulls in this part of the dungeon), and Jesse has to spam big heals to keep tank health up. 8:35 Second big pull, tank's health hits 125 (!!!) while Jesse gets into position. 15:03 Third big pull. Tank death. Could have been a wipe here, but since JC hadn't cast any healing spells, he had no aggro and the mobs went after the BLMs rather than himself. BLMs running away saved a near wipe. Great recovery.

[@XxThisIsIvanxX]

I remember when I first ran this dungeon. Every one of us was a sprout and we knew nothing about the dungeon. Honesty, despite the stress when I was levelling WHM, very fun learning the dungeon mechanics on the spot.

[@Irimu_]

The "Oh no" moments are always the most fun part of ff14. You know it's going to go terribly but that just makes it funnier.

[@Lilly_Belle]

I healed from the beginning in 2.0, so I never got to experience tanks who did big pulls. Because the dungeons were still current content and people were a little more wary. I got to grow up in a very chill environment. But just be lucky you didn't get Aurum Vale, Jessie.

[@Orchestructive]

We've been doing this DD pull since 2.0 :D

[@zerwif]

The crystals in DD give such a defense boost that crazy wall to wall pulls were common in 2.0.

[@Lilly_Belle]

@@zerwif Shit, guess I just got lucky every time I queued. Literally never had a tank do a big pull in my life, back then. Not even in Sastasha, where you'd expect it.

[@maikatase]

Yeah, no. You're aren't remembering correctly lmao. Wall to wall tanking has been a think since 2.0. Some of the early lvl 50 dungeons they actually tried added a bunch of artificial stops because players were complaining it was too stressful as wall to wall tanking was the expected strat (tanks felt pressured to pull wall to wall and healers felt stressed healing giant pulls). So SE made dungeons like Haukke Manor (hard) where there are a tons of doors that stop you from doing big pulls. And just about everyone HATED it. Heck, I remember for Dzemael Darkhold, a common strat is actually pull everything all the way to the room before the eye and you can tank at the crystal area there. There's a little corner that you can run into as the tank to LoS the ranged mobs so everything would be stacked together in the crystal area. Worked great especially if you had a WHM to help with aoe killing (and aoe stuns). I remember PF groups would actually just grind that pull from 44-50 even (they would just leave the duty as soon as they would finish that pull and re-enter.

[@Lilly_Belle]

@@maikatase Yeah, never had to deal with big pulls, back then. One group at a time, it was. Hell, my Black Mage friend would always have to lead the party, even. I remember him being the one who always pulled, making me hastily shield him. Guess my server was just different or I got lucky. Amazing that it can vary so greatly. I guess it's not that strange, though. Even servers' raid strategies differ, a lot of the time.

[@garbagebandit5934]

While I'm not a healer main by any stretch of the imagination, seeing Essential Dignity go unused for the majority of the dungeon filled me with profound sadness.

Nice to see that the MMO healing experience is same regardless of the game.

[@macattack7949]

I've been playing pretty much exclusively scholar since I unlocked it at level 30 (just really clicked with me) and while I've definitely had my fair share of horror stories, there's something about healing that's just fun :) I love being able to support my teammates and there's something cool about running through the open world and saving someone you pass by before they get wiped by a mob, or when you time a group shield perfectly with a boss' major AOE attack. BUT! I DEFINITELY remember the first time I ran a dungeon with a tank who did a big pull... We wiped... veeeery quickly... Thankfully the tank was kind and paced it a bit slower for the beginning of the raid slowly adding more and more pulls as we made our way through the dungeon. It helped me get the hang of it so I'm really thankful for what he did. :)

[@dustinthomas1756]

its honestly kind of refreshing to get a messy run sometimes.

But then you do something like this and you're pulling out all the stops trying to keep the party alive and just barely manage to avoid a wipe on bosses and its some of my favorite memories playing this game.

[@Lordnomnomalot]

Did you know.... That way...way... back in ARR 2.0 when leveling was actually really grindy and F.A.T.E.S gave very little Exp. getting past lvl44-50 was a real hurdle, especially when trying to level multiple jobs/classes. Spamming the first floor before the first boss was the fastest way to grind exp... At the time dropping out of a dungeon did not incur a penalty so pre-made parties would form, enter the dungeon, and do a wall-to-wall pull of the ENTIRE first floor and then just leave and requeue. The trick was that, staying within the blue light of the crystals gave a MASSIVE defensive buff... especially to the tank. The healer essentially spam holy/heals while the deeps (ideally black mages) aoe everything down... Once they buffed F.A.T.E.S the spamming of Dzemael quickly feel out of favour and the F.A.T.E. Trains were born.

This is why when I tank I am for 'medium-sized' pulls. Not too big (11+ mobs, not including tiny mobs meant for AoE), and not too small (a single pack), I aim for anywhere between 5 and 10 mobs per pull, so the DPS can enjoy their AoE rotations in full and the healer isn't drowning under the incoming damage of like four or five packs simultaneously.

Speaking only for myself, when I ask that of my healer as a tank it's not a callout at all, I'm legitimately trying to see if they enjoy big pulls like that or if they would prefer something slower, steadier, and more chill in pace. Some healers really rush tanks and start pulling for us if we're not going wall to wall so we get kind of conditioned to do that as the default, but I like to check sometimes and see if the healer of a given run would like me to ease up and go through the dungeon at a more normal or 'intended' rate.

It's a very bad idea to pull wall to wall in early dungeons, most specifically because healers' curative repertoires are SEVERELY limited that early on. Hell, tank damage mitigation actions are limited. I see it all the time if I get Arumn Vale. Pulling wall to wall in the very first room is tantamount to suicide 😆

[@Nukerunin]

A smart tank would look at their healer's mana to double check if the pull was too much and weigh it against the lowest the tank's HP dropped during the pull. But that requires more than 2 brain cells to do. Not everyone has that. I tend to start off light with a double pack and evaluate my DPS' performance + clear speed. If I've got at least one straight up killer, healer's mana is good, I never dip too low, then I know I can keep pushing it. From what I've experienced with low-end BLMs, I would never go HAM with two BLMs in low-end content LOL. Their damage is almost always crappy and my tanks literally out DPS them by thousands of damage. I've even seen WHMs steamroll them in DPS. It's hilarious. I'm actually going to max a BLM out just so I can see if they're just that bad early on, or if it's the players.

[@jaylee9372]

As a BLM main, it's a bit a both. There are a lot of nuances to maximizing BLM that some people just don't notice on their own but also don't look up guides for assistance. There's also the fact that our AOE is pretty weak until 50 because our "maximal" rotation is legit just Freeze spam + keep Thunder dot uptime. The fact that our Ice AOE spell actually calculates stronger than our Fire AOE spell during that phase kinda tells you all you need to know. Getting Enochian at lvl 56 and Fire4 at 60 are THE game changers though. We can already do decent, if middling damage, but that's the moment when BLM gets stupidly good if you know what you're doing. And it only gets EVEN BETTER from there.

[@Nukerunin]

@@jaylee9372 That's what I was assuming. Good to know. I've already experienced how crappy their AOE is in the 30s, but it's good to hear it gets better. Since I posted that, I have encountered ONE BLM who did exceptionally well and topped the chart. He gave me hope.

Lawd, ma anxiety! As a non-MMORPG player all the numbers, names and bars are slightly triggering! Music’s bangin’ though

[@LuckyHamster819]

Ah typical ShB Warrior doing pre ShB content. "Too many pulls? Wdym, I have the best mitigation in game, the HEALER" then proceeds to forget line of sight is a thing.

[@Orchestructive]

This was a 2.0 strat. This used to be how you farmed XP.

[@Mellow_Owl]

As a main healer... You just learn to do it better. Honestly its those insane tanks that really get my heart pumping and i do secretly love the challenge. Eventually you get bored of dps and caution and hope for the big pulls to spice shit up.

[@Mochachocakon]

Exactly, I think I drop tanks more often in single pulls than mass pulls because I get so bored casting Broil over and over again because there's no immediate danger.

[@Mellow_Owl]

@@Mochachocakon oh same! I get distracted and tend to start watching videos and shit when its only a couple enemies a pull. XD but you go wall to wall, I will pull off some insane heals and proclaim myself a god among men. Even better when you master slide casting

[@Shiirow]

its not a fun experience as a tank either, to have to pick up mobs the dps face pulled, only to be told by the same dps " you shouldnt pull so much, the healer is new ".

[@wobblysauce]

A... O... E...

[@mikoto7693]

Hahaha as a Sch and Whm main I’ve had a few tanks like that. Totally crazy and I can only just keep the party alive. Only once in Bleak Vigil did a tank pull so many mobs I was literally spamming my highest Cure and it wasn’t enough. Give credit where it’s due though, he did slow down a little to a survivable rate for the rest.

[@Lagzlot]

Normally pulling that much in Dismal Darkhold is supposed to be easy because of the big defense buff that standing in the crystal light gives you. Too bad nobody except Jesse was doing that. Also those black mage's rotations are... off.

[@jaylee9372]

> Also those black mage's rotations are... off. They seem fine to me? Freeze spam + maintain Thunder dot for 3+ enemies. Blizz3 -> Thunder3 -> Fire3 -> Fire spam + procs for 2 or less. That's really all they can do at that level tbh.

[@seed2446]

Darkhold is possibly the worst dungeon in ARR to be healer. So much can go wrong and your tools to deal with it are limited. AV is a close second.

[@SlimeyCube26]

Just remember when healing and the team wipe "its not entirely your fault just mostly your fault" :)

I'll take an _Oh my god_ for 500
