    I don't know why all the whm pugs I get are so terrible then XD. Did Stone Vigil for a FC friend, she was a blm. Whm couldn't cure me even when tanking only 2 mobs, the pull before the last boss with the 2 dragons? Yeah died horribly there, even though our sch friend kept me up and said I was "boring to heal". Ended up duoing the last boss with the blm. She had the arcanist heal and would just heal me everytime dragon went up in the air, I self healed myself for the rest.

    Stone Vigil boss as WHM was a little boring

    PROVIDED people know how to dodge when he goes buckwild with the AOEs. If they're retarded and don't it stretches your healing ability to the limit.

    The problem I usually see with WHM pugs (granted I'm SCH mostly so I only see this for 8man) is they think Cure has a 10 second recast time instead of riding that GCD timer. That plus slow reaction time = death sentence.

    Bump

    Can't start threads yet :-/

    Random WHM questions:

    Just looking for some guidance on how to build a proper WHM for endgame play and/or whatever the hell's coming up on the horizon

    Currently 43WHM Lalafell

    Which stats should I be applying my attribute points towards? MND PIE seem like the obvious choices, but HP obviously plays a huge part in most worthwhile shit so I'm on the fence here

    Gear wise , I guess that's where most of my endgame HP is comin from, but what else am I going for? Spellspeed seems to be a factor then shits goin to shit, but I'm not reading much about it being a necessary requirement

    Due to coming up on DF, I've yet to see another WHM play their role in this game so I can't really gauge my performance - I mean, I do my best to make people not die and it usually works out, but is there anything I'm missing aside from cure, cure, cure, cure II? Is there a WHM formula so that I don't look like an asshole come the big fight?

    Btw - this job can be super fucking stressful - 10year FFXI vet here, but damn - some of this shit (even the first Titan) had me sweatin - sure it's a party scenario, but very reaction-ary and 0% fail rate much like some of the difficult FFXI solos

    Anyways, specific end game gear to strive for? What are the gear slots best filled with?
    Best weapon aside from Relic?

    Which 5 cross-class abilities are a must?

    Kinda new to all this - thanks for listening

    MND, MND and more MND.

    MND, MND and more MND. You'll get enough VIT from gear without having to worry about it.

    Until end game you typically have plenty of time to swap to Cleric Stance and nuke a bit between heals. I can't remember at what level you get Regen but liberally apply that when you can.

    You should be looking at DL/il70 crafted gear. Fill out the missing slots with Strategos drops from AK and GC items. For the weapon you can just look at the item level with the higher the better. GC/WP is L55, Ifrit L60 and Garuda L70. Titan is L80 but if you can beat him you can also get relic so it's pretty pointless.

    Which 5 cross-class abilities are a must?
    Swiftcast from THM is the only important one IIRC. It lets you insta cast Raise.

    Titan is actually iLvl70, which makes it even stupider. Relic is iLvl80.

    On top of Swiftcast mentioned above, I'd set Virus for sure. Eye-for-an-eye is meh, but it's better than nothing. Beyond that, I don't recall what's available.

    Discounting Ruin and Physick you only have 5 cross-class options on WHM. Surecast and Thunder are kind of never used but they're on the way to Swiftcast so yeah. Virus and Eye are kind of helpful.

    Edit: v Well, I learned something today.

    Thunder is the most damage of WHM's DoTs but the least MP efficient, it shares a duration with Aero tho so it's easier to Cleric -> Thunder + Aero -> Un-Cleric and maintain both effects.

    You'll need both in any raid. Level which one one you want to because they both have a need. SCH has the advantage of giving you SMN also which is the strongest dps specs at the moment.

    One bit of advice is don't be a healer (or any mage) with the standard controls, it is a nightmare. For a variety of reasons your character may not face the direction you expect it to (yes I know you can turn face to cast off, but I like to dps also). When that happens you'll go to strafe one direction to avoid aoe and go in the opposite direction.

    Go to character configuration and switch to legacy controls. Now you'll always move relative to the camera, which makes dodging while healing and nuking so much easier.

    Now if you want it to be more like the standard controls, you can go to escape -> key bindings and make camera look left/right to A and D respectively. Or if you want it to be like ffxi and go all keyboard, you can do the ijkl thing too.

    One bonus of all this, when you go backwards now you will face that direction and run instead of taking the slow backsteps.

    As a side note, I made a post on reddit about this and guess how many points it has. Reddit is just as terrible as Allakhazam was, glad to see this website is still up and running.

    I'm a WHM and love it personally. Swiftcast is a must have for Medica 2 and Raise instant casts.
