Thank you very much for this guide. However, I have a slight gripe with your point at 3:13. What you said about getting Misery into the two minute window and benefiting from raid buffs is 100% true, but first, you ask the question, "Which is more likely: All 4 Glares critting, or 1 Misery critting?" This is not the correct question - what we should be looking at is the expected value of casting Misery or 4 Glares. For simplicity's sake, let's say that Glare does 100 damage, Misery does 400 damage, and you have a 15% crit chance. In other words, there is an 85% chance that you do normal damage and a 15% chance you do 1.5x damage (since that is the damage bonus when you have 15% crit chance). The expected value of a given event with a numeral outcome is the likelihood of the outcome times the value of the outcome. Therefore: The expected value of casting Glare is (100 * 0.85) + (150 * .15), or 107.5. So, the expected value of casting 4 Glares is 4x107.5, or 430. The expected value of casting Misery is (400 * 0.85) + (600 *.15), or 430. The primary difference between casting 4 Glares or 1 Misery is that the total amount of damage you do with 4 Glares will be a normal distribution centered on the expected value (430), whereas the value of casting 1 Misery is a truly random distribution. But over time, if you cast 100 Miseries, that will also become a normal distribution with the average centered on 430. Now, it is literally true that critting on all 4 Glares is less likely than critting on 1 Misery (.05% chance vs 15% chance), but as far as actual outcomes go, casting loads and loads of Glares and Miseries will result in the same distribution over time. The probability that at least 1 Glare out of 4 crits is (1 - 0.85^4), or 47.74%. That would bring total damage to 450 or higher (depending on number of crits), which is more than the expected value of one cast of Misery. It's like the 2d6 vs 1d12 problem in DnD. The answer boils down to: 2d6 (4 glares) is more consistent and more likely to give you the middling range of possible values whereas 1d12 (Misery) is more unpredictable and can result in high or low values more frequently.

Elusive self-pin, but someone pointed out I didn't go a lot into RAISING: 1) White Mage, despite having Thin Air, is kind of low on the raising priority list because its GCD spam (Glare) has one of the highest potencies of any healer, meaning others lose less by sending out the rez. You can and should still rez, however, especially if your co-healer's mana is trending downward already. It's also just an unavoidable part of prog. 2) Swiftcast, accordingly, CAN be saved for rezzing, but it's also a pretty important movement tool for WHM. I recommend holding it during prog in case you need to raise someone, then gradually finding areas of high-movement where you want to use it as your group cleans the fight up and dies less. 2b) In case I'm in a group like PF or duty finder where there isn't voicechat, I also have this handy Swiftcast macro: /micon Swiftcast /p Swiftcast ready in Essentially, you press it and it reports your exact CD left on Swift, e.g., "Swiftcast ready in 0:13." It's a good way of letting people know you either can or can't rez, because I don't personally care for rez macros. The little audio blip at the end is just to grab attention and I don't spam it, but you can remove it if you'd prefer. Thank you all!!

It depends for tip #1. 1) WHM is higher on the priority list due to Thin Air. It's true that WHM has higher potency per GCD but we're talking one GCD. If you are worried about that small difference then at that point both healers are running low-pie sets and if a non-thin air healer res's they risk running out of MP for the fight. Just do the res with Thin Air.

Something this video didn't mention is about the natural hp regen all characters have. If the boss does a raid wide followed by avoidable attacks, it will give everyone a chance to recover naturally, meaning you may not need to heal up the raid wide at all (mostly in Normal difficulty, where they don't hit as hard). People don't need to sit at 100% HP the whole time, leaving them partially empty lets their own HP regen do the work for you while you cast more glare.

Something I learned from a long long time ago is that if you see a DPS about to die you don't have to give them bene to save them. A Regen should do just as good since they most likely just goofed a mechanic the regen at least will either get them back to safety so you can focus on other things and if you have time throw tetra or something. They don't need bene but of course do use it for it's intended purpose as described in this video. :)

One thing i suggest for WHM players is that assize while being MP and damage, is sometimes very worth to hold for a few seconds for raid damage incoming. I will typically not hold mine more than perhaps 4 or 5 seconds at the most and only if i know raid damage is coming, otherwise i just use it on CD. Its a very powerful heal, and used well will let you keep spamming glare without needing to heal. This is especially powerful for openers when you want to use assize during raid buffs and cast as many glares as possible during raid buffs, but typically there is an opening raidwide you would have to heal, when you dont have any lilies generated yet. Asylum+assize will heal most dmg from any opening raid wide, and allow you to just keep casting glare. Also if your party isnt standing in your asylum, yell at them. Asylum has a pretty strong heal over time and that is preferred to having your healer cast another GCD heal because your party wouldnt stand in it. Great guide!
@specstreTV
Жыл бұрын
Assize's heal is nothing to sneeze at, it IS quite strong, but while you have SOME wiggle room, it CAN be dangerous to delay it, especially with the new 40 second cooldown. Admittedly, this is some pretty sweaty stuff, but it's a personal DPS loss if delaying winds up costing you a use of it later in the fight (that is, the boss dies while your Assize is on CD BECAUSE you delayed it, and had you not you could've gotten another Assize in). Of course, party health takes priority and so your advice is still sound in most cases, but it's just something to consider if DPS / parsing is your priority. Anyways, I do agree delaying has its place now and then, and thank you for the kind words! :D
@Asch_Ente
Жыл бұрын
Only delay Assize when you know it does not affect the number of casts in a fight or if your focus is PURELY prog. For example, the typical WHM "opener" is Glare+PoM > Glare+Assize. However in some fights like P8S P2, I like to do Glare+PoM > Glare+Asylum > Glare+Assize because the fourth Assize will not come up before High Concept anyway. Another example is P5S, where you cannot hold Assize during the very first Double Rush - if delayed (to put it in the burst phase), you cannot squeeze it in before Devour. There are no opener raidwides in Savage content this tier that are followed up by immediate damage. It doesn't matter you don't have Lilies yet because you don't need to heal after taking damage - you just need to heal before the next damage is incoming.

Fun thing about Medica 2: Given the length of the GCD is rroughly tick length, if you chain cast Medica 2 over and over, where only ONE tick is healing from each one before you overwrite it, 250 + 150 = 400 potency of healing. That is, you cast Medica 2 and get the 250 heal, immediately start casting it again, the first tick will register for 150, then the cast goes off. So AT MINIMUM, if you were chain casting Medica 2 (which is silly, but if you were), you're doing the same healing as chain casting Medica 1. The only difference is it's 100 MP more and has 5y more range. At this point, if Medica 2's MP cost was reduced by 100, there would literally be no reason for Medica 1 to be in the kit except for running low level content (and not confusing new players a smidge). If Medica 1's tooltip was rewritten "250 potency heal, 150 potency Regen duration 3 sec", and Medica 2's MP cost was reduced by 100, Medica 2 would be a straight upgrade, and it would be more obvious when written that way. As it is, Medica 1 is a SLIGHTLY better option if the party is > 10 y apart but < 15 y AND you have 900/1800/2700 MP exactly, such that Medica 2 casts don't work out (more than 2700 and it honestly doesn't matter) There are some quirks like that. Cure 1 is also SLIGHTLY faster, so there's an EXTREMELY niche case use for it when you need a heal to land in less than 2 sec but greater than 1.5 is still okay. I've had this happen from time to time, but it's extremely rare. Cure 2 has somewhat more use since it's more powerful and is a strong option if a Tank wall-to-wall pulls more than they can chew/mitigate and you've already used Solace, Tetra, and Bene. It used to be better when Thin Air was a 15 second duration rather than charges, but it's still the most powerful spamable single target heal in the game. A second use case is if you have a Misery prepped, three Lilies up, but are finishing off the second wall-to-wall in a 4 man (that is, as soon as these die, you go into the boss fight) and all the enemies are less than about 10-15% health but the tank needs a patch up heal. Granted, you often have plenty of CDs and oGCDs you can use, but it's fine to throw a Cure 2 in this situation since the enemies are about to die and it's more fun (and slightly more damage optimal) to enter a boss fight with a Misery right off the bat in that first buff window. Cure 1 really need to upgrade to Cure 2 (though Cure 2 would need a MP cost decrease to make this really viable - but hey, Benific 2 is cheaper and not game breaking, so...), and Medica 1 needs its tooltip adjusted (so people don't think it's a nerf) and then straight upgrade to Medica 2 for 900 MP cost. But it's not like anyone asks me these things... :) . WHM is fun and its straightforwardness is a strength, not a weakness. Not every Job/class in a game needs to be gigabrain to be fun, I think. I play all four Healers and always pick Healer classes in games, and I love it more than any of the others. Its kit is arguably the one in the best shape right now. The Lily system just works amazingly well and is the only Healer not penalized for using some GCD tools. IMO, the only problem with WHM is it has no "lesser" mit in its toolkit, which feels like an oversight. If it had a 60 sec 5% damage reduction button, that would more or less patch the one remaining hole in its kit, I think. I've seen it suggested Plenary be used for that, and think it would probably fit the bill.

First off, glad to see things haven't changed very much, but still saddened to see that WHM still gets flak for being "simple".

Жыл бұрын
Personally, as a WHM main, I want to say that this is a great video. I think your point on using Lilies as a movement tool is really understated and there are a couple of points that maybe you might want to reconsider. Firstly, timing a Blood Lily for a 2 minute buff window is a great point, but it's not as valuable as ensuring that you have 100% Uptime. Blood Lily's value is proportional to the amount of Glare casts as you had mentioned. However, the real calculus around it is actually Blood Lily / 4 Glares + Missed Glares = GCD Damage Value. 4 Glares + 0 Missed Glares is obviously the goal, but if you missed a single Glare leading up to your Blood Lily usage, the value of Blood Lily goes down. You're better off using any and all Lilies around movement and repositioning because you want to end a fight with near 100% Uptime. Let's say you do get 100% Uptime and you time your Blood Lily which results in a buffed crit Afflatus Misery, that is absolutely a damage gain but you have to ensure you have 100% Uptime which essentially means that 100% Uptime is significantly more important than timing. Secondly, overcapping Lilies is actually not problematic in the slightest. An overfed Blood Lily is a problem because again, it's actually Blood Lily / 4 Glares + 0 Missed Glares. An overfed Blood Lily is a missed Glare for every over feed you do. Let's say you do an entire fight without using a single Lily, but you had 100% Uptime and didn't have to cast any GCD heals. There was nothing lost or gained so there isn't actually really a downside to overcapping your Lilies. If Afflatus Misery had a damage gain, then yeah, you want to use your Lilies without overcapping, but since it's neutral, overcap all you want. It's fine. In regards to your Bell, use it whether you take damage or not. You can just trigger it at 5 Charges for a 1000 Potency AoE heal. While you do lose out on an additional 1000 Potency heal off of triggering each charge on hit, it's another passive healing tool that can be used to cover for Medica II so that you don't have to use a GCD heal and it's MP free. You can do Rapture -> Bell -> Rapture -> Bell Trigger as a setup to do basically a raid wide Full Heal while moving for 0 MP. A side note: WHM and SGE are the only 2 of the 4 healers that have movement tools that doesn't result in a damage loss when their entire kit is available to them. WHM is also the only healer that has a DoT that does damage on hit. Eukrasian Dosis, Bio and Combust only applies a DoT. Aero/Dia actually does damage on hit AND additionally applies a DoT. So at lower levels, if you have to move and don't have the time to slide cast Glare/Stone, casting Aero/Dia to be able to move is a viable option only if Afflatus Misery is not available at that level.
@specstreTV
Жыл бұрын
Some great points :) Uptime is undeniably the most valuable/important goal, and there ARE fights for sure where adjustments to your Lily timings mean a slight mana inefficiency is worth holding (P7S inviolate purgation comes to mind). That said, the Lilys aren’t TRULY damage neutral because of the current raid buff meta, as the bit about “moving” glares into raidbuffs via Lilys is actually a flat gain. Overcapping briefly for movement is 100% valid, but just sitting on 3 Lilys for more than 20 seconds (when you would have had another) is a plain waste. Very good point on Bell not being “useless” without procs though, because for sure the 1000p is still very solid, but I also think in Abyssos especially there are a LOT of opportunities to get the full 2000p, so ideally people factor that into their mit plan. Of course, if you’re losing usages of it because you’re holding for the 2000p dream, that’s a waste and you can find a less-optimal place to put it. Again though, great comment and analysis! 😄

I promise, if you’re comfortable with SCH, WHM will feel just fine :) Just gotta play with it a bit and get comfortable with all its tools, but they’re all quite simple and you don’t have to worry about any fairy shenanigans or aetherflow decisions. Just feed the Lily and Glare to your heart’s content!

Watching this purely to figure out why I run OOM in alliance raids. I don't need this as I am a raid melee/tank but the explanation why Lilies should be used for MP management and being reminded on how Plenary actually works is great info for a non-healer veteran that still needs to heal sometimes.

glad it helped! :D for sure, all this stuff transfers to easier content too, and so long as you’re not like, dry spamming cure 3 or running a literally max spellspeed-melded set, you should notice your mp usage flatten considerably if you’re keeping lucid up, using Lilys properly, and Thin Airing the expensive stuff :)

Another great video from you! As before, nothing really left unsaid that wouldn't be quiiiite minor or extra nuanced. Uhh...instant tick when placing asylum I guess maybe? ~ Thank you for suggesting people play it decently safe for prog - mechanics come first and healer damage skyrockets after, it's pretty much always how it goes when the rest have gotten into enough of a rhythm that you're not constantly spot-healing~ And thank you more for the Airship Hilda Garde outro music c: Okay, I'm out. Time to go miss a dia-reapplication again and hit myself in the face 20 seconds later. Keep the wonderful content coming!

Well made video, I've been a whm since ARR but some of the smaller details like dot refresh or holy on 2 vs 3 targets are things I never thought to look into. I also feel like I subconsciously knew that about wings he asylum but its quite interesting when actually explained out loud. I found myself using medica 1 for the first time regularly during p8s prog, usually its a tool that doesn't come up much but the damage that comes out during natural alignment during that fight as well as for general healing during high concept make it quite handy to have as a reliable wide reaching heal.

During downtime mechanics you have two goals as whm. Cap your blood lily and keep people alive. If your blood lily is already prepped then spamming medica/medica2 is no damage loss, just make sure to thin air/lucid to not go oom

Thin air optimally can be used on your first glare cast, medica 2 -> if prog leave one for raise. otherwise use it on medica 2/cure3. and just try and not cap. Even if you don't have a thin air for raise. if you are using it on medica2+ its value, and as long as you press Lucid on CD and use lilies, you should legit never run outta mana unless you are afk spamming medica 2 :3 BUT i will always and forever recommend this! FOR NEW FIGHTS BUY MP POTS!!!!!!!!!!! You never know

have to mention it takes a GCD or so for confession to apply to everyone. so if you hit plenary>rapture it may not hit everyone with that plenary buff too. (something ive noticed while healing) So ill always tell them to hit plenary>glare>rapture instead to be 100% sure you get the rapture fully buffed in there.

While I completely agree with the DPS increase for spending Lilies outside of raid buffs and casting the payoff nuke inside the buff window, I do want to note the "what's more likely to crit?" opening to the topic is misleading as heck. Yes, it's more likely for one cast to crit than 4 individual casts all critting, but it's also more likely for one cast to *not* crit than 4 individual casts to all not crit. It averages out to the same thing, so it's purely the raid buff window that squeezes that sweet sweet efficiency out of the system. I have used Cure I usefully, but they are incredibly funky situations where I need a single target heal, saving oGCDs/Lilies for a heal check (or recently used them for it), a need to keep moving, and Regen won't do enough in time. VERY limited situations and I'm pretty sure it means I'm desperately compensating for someone else's problem. I love the point on overheal during prog. Your Glare casts mean nothing until you can hit enrage except to practice which mechanics you can slidecast into position for. All in all, excellent video. Would be curious to know your position on using Regen since that is my (and I'm sure many WHMs) go to spell for single target healing if more damage isn't coming out immediately. I have a questionable habit of saving Tetra so I can use it alongside a Lily to act as a ghetto Bene for non-tanks.

3:20 Yeah, but the opposite is also true; if you're unlucky and Misery doesn't crit, it's like 4 individual Glares that all didn't crit. The chance that at least one of 4 individual casts crit compared to one is also much higher as opposed to one single big cast. A single cast just crits or doesn't crit, there's no in between. Multiple casts are more consistent and less off a coinflip.

thank you very much for the kind words :D as for an AST guide, maybe?? I like AST a lot and HAVE played it a bit this tier, but I’m still a bit rusty at it and haven’t really clicked with the Endwalker changes. the bigger issue though is that they’ve already announced another MAJOR rework for 7.0, so part of me is hesitant to cover its current iteration. of course, 7.0 is like, a year out, so no guarantees! i still might.

appreciate that :) if you need any encouragement, i’d say that it isn’t as bad as it seems. healers are always in demand for savage and people tend to be quite patient with people learning it. if anything though, you’ll probably be healing too MUCH at first, not too little. worst case scenario, you wipe! this tier is pretty fun for healing, so give it a go :D

I feel like there should be a little aside when talking about learning to play in Savage content, particularly if said content has been out for some time. As most players will have pieces/be BiS by this pojnt, the damage check for healers isn't as strict and, as such, will allow those learning any healer more leniency to use GCD heals as they prog through fights. Yours truly The tank who cringes when they need to over mit tank busters and the follow up DoTs while the healers are at full MP.

theres also more chance of 0 crits when you cast 1 spell compared to 4. the math isn't really correct there. the average damage should be the same. though it is still good, just because it lets you do more dmg during buffs.

On P8S Savage. I changed after 2 kills from DPS to WHM, cause of loosing a player.. Didnt played Heal on trails since ARR.. Holy. Savage Healing is very fun and we got the kills. but my dmg wasnt that good i wanted to. I had most of your infos in mind befor looking. but there is always new Stuff to learn. On max classes you didnt realy play on focus. There are a lot of skills you didnt notice right. or simply miss understood. So i didnt realice the Heal increase from Asylum. I think i wasted it sometimes realy hard. Second, the Bell. I was always confused of the "hit" part in the Description. So did i unsterstand right, that the whm have to take dmg for the trigger?

I've developed a bad habit of using Dia in those moments where I'm like HOLY SHIT I HAVE TO MOVE, GO GO GO. I know it's optimal to time your movement between Glare casts. In an emergency, how terrible is it to have to sprint somewhere fast and refresh Dia as you're running, just to follow the "always be casting!" principle? I know it's technically a dps loss over properly timed glares, but even the 60 potency is better than casting nothing at all, right?
@specstreTV
Жыл бұрын
100% better than nothing at all-like you said, Dia is the ONLY healer DoT with an application damage, and so it isn’t awful to press if you need to fill the GCD. Doing nothing is definitely worse. That said of course, it isn’t GREAT. We’ve all done it, but ideally you should think about when/where it’s happening on a fight, then next pull try to rearrange your Lilys or your Swiftcast to have something else there instead. And of course, slidecasting is your friend. If you can figure out where you need to go for a mechanic in advance, you can just slide over inch by inch in between Glares!

IMO white mage is no longer the easiest healer. I find Sage much easier to play optimally as whm have to plan a lot of movement with lilies and their bubble is ground targeted, making some situations annoying.
