How to handle each TANK invuln skill in FFXIV as a HEALER

#ffxiv #ff14

[JEL]

Drk.

If the hourglass is red they want to be dead

If the hourglass is grey they should be ok.

Once the red guy raises theres no more surprises.

[RicardoSantos-ozuj]

Is also customary for GNB to use its invulnerability just after being given benediction. Just to see if the whm has been paying attention.

[sepsam]

They heal themselves, got it! *proceeds to glare mobs into oblivion*

[SquigglyTheAsianPotato]

"Think fast chucklenuts" *uses the superbolide macro that also deactivates the invul*

[desreploid]

Please note that this doesn't necessarily hold true for certain levels. A lower level Warrior, for example, doesn't yet have the kit to pop their health bar back to full in a snap and will need help.

[rasrandir]

It's important to know the different effects or "buffs" of LD, the icon changes depending on how far along in the invuln the drk is

[Denamic]

Hyperbolide, otherwise known as the 'make healers shit themselves' button

[aircraftcarrierwo-class]

As a Gunbreaker, I find healers tend to appreciate a macro that announces Superbolide is being used.
As a white mage, I also appreciate such macros on Superbolide. Of all the emergency buttons Tanks can use, I think Superbolide is the one that benefits the most from this.

[rugalbernstein]

As a DRK, I hardly even bother using LD unless I know I'm going to die in the next volley of hits, because even when I literally ask the healer to let me die, they never listen and just spam heals.

[DaikyAdarkym]

Quick resume:
Pala, don't heal him, best invul 0 damage.
GNB, Heal him a bit, let the aurora do their job + GNB Excovitation
DRK, He gonna top his HP with his own healing.
Warrior, This guy is a healer, why y are playing healer too?

[pushpopthemoogle]

I appreciate it when drk tells you that they're using living dead. It gives me more time focus on dmging

[blubunny]

Please note: pld hallowed straight up says "prevents damage from MOST attacks"
We can still die from certain things such as doom....

[SplitxHeart]

I ran with a DRK late night one day through the historical amdapor hard and they were so happy for me letting them die during living dead.
Little did they know... I was sweating because I played Scholar and gave Eos some CRITICAL sideeye... somehow they actually died in the last tick of their hourglass timer.

[damienhailey]

Keep in mind also that Gunbreakers have a health regen move, and a move that gives them a buff that restores their health on the attack. If that regen is up when they drop it, they should be fine.

[raarasunai]

Another tip to include. If the tank says “Hey, I’m gonna use Living Dead/Superbolide this pull. Let my health get low.” Listen to them. I’ve had quite a few healers that just go into spam heal mode when they see me not using mitigations because I WANT to get low, and warned them about it, but they disregarded said warning

[ShiraVT]

A gunbreaker’s favorite breakfast is Eggs Benediction xD

[VenomBio]

My experience healing tanks
Paladin - does not need a healing most of a time
Gunbreaker - when did this mf died ?
Warrior - speedrunners
Dark knight - patient on intensive care unit with 50 bullet holes

[pomegranatekat]

Ty for this, i try and play tank even as a healer main to understand things, but havent gotten to 50 on each tank to fully understand their skills yet

[HawkinaBox]

The GNB one gave me a heart attack when it happened to me as a healer XD

Therapist : Tomboy miqo doesnt exist she-
Ah.
