"Healing is like DPS but with some other buttons."
Instructions unclear: hit teammates with Ruin and Fester, and rezed the boss. :D

DPS: IS THERE A HEALER IN THE HOUSE!
WHM: Yes, I'm a White Mage, what's the problem?
DPS: Our tank is dead, can you raise him?
WHM: Did he use defensive cooldowns?
DPS: ... No...
WHM: *Stone IV*

I chose AST as my first and primary healing job because I like to be busy. Healers have quick queues so It's easy to find practice chances.

Damn Desperuis, I swear you read my mind when it comes to uploads. Seriously was considering going healer yesterday and boom here it is! lol ty!

[meowmixinthemix]

I have an infinite amount of respect for great healers.
Also, I love the Blue Fields soundtrack in the background.

When My tank pisses me off I just keep him as low as possible just to make him sweat

[OldManDoom]

Just remember everyone- if your tank gets to about 50% and then gets deleted before you can even finish casting an Adlo, that is NOT your problem. Don’t get discouraged or feel bad. You aren’t getting a player commendation for that run and you likely are being blamed on the other end, but just keep doing your best. Leveling up my first healer as a scholar I have noticed that many tanks don’t even use rampart. They maybe think that they shouldn’t have to mitigate if the healer is doing their job. But if your tank is getting their HP chunked at what seems like 10% blocks per second, when only tanking 2 or 3 mobs, just do your best and try to keep everyone topped. There will always be another dungeon

As a tank main, I really like healers that spam heal me in lower level dungeons when I go wall to wall. Thank you for not letting me die! 😁

[Mark-Merc]

I run WHM mostly. Healing? You're all but nourishment for the blood lily! 🥀☠️

Marauder tank in Aurum Vale, as a healer main, I feel that pain in my soul.

Just a couple more tips to help prevent wipes. If your tank dies rezing them is priority #1 stop healing let the dps take aggro and hard cast it if u have to. And if you have to choose between healing yourself and anyone else heal yourself first. As a healer if you go down depending on the boss thats just a lost fight. And tell the tank if your new to healing they don’t wanna find out after pulling wall to wall.

Thanks for this info. I'm a healer (White Mage), and just recently made it through The Vault for the first time, and it was very rough going. I am a panic healer but now that the difficulty is starting to ramp up, I really need to learn how to heal and deal damage more efficiently, and these videos are helping.

Until you play tank hlr and dps you will never know how critical everyone in the grp is.

[moonpool]

ngl whenever I get a raid group with 2 or more new people my first thought is "aw hell yeah, time to quick-rez out of my MIND, let's The feeling of getting 3 rez spells off in the span of a minute feels really rewarding, cuz I feel like a badass for being able to recover from possible wipe mechanics

[pumpkinpie]

Desperius voice is really cute i love hearing it

[TastyGamingQc]

When you’re a veteran healer and are just here to gauge the quality of this video. XD





Good job 👍

[dearSerenade]
