I get stuck behind it because I stopped moving for a second to try to keep the tank alive. Everyone continues running on ahead and activates one of the web walls that pops up. Tank runs face first into some exploding pods, and I stop to try to heal/remove at least one poison stack. Then my healing can't pick up the slack at all.įirst of all, I get walking into the poison exploding pod things once, not knowing that they'll explode and poison you and stress out your healer, but repeatedly running into them? Constantly? Even though I'm standing behind you frantically trying to dispose of them before you get there? I'm patient and lenient and all that, and I know my healing can pick up the slack when need be.Įxcept when everything is working against me. Tank and a DPS are both new, which is fine, I get that. First of all, to set the stage, the group is all melee DPS, which is rough in Toto Rak because of the poison clouds from the microchu things. I just want to write this out and vent about this one because this was honestly the worst run of Toto Rak I've ever done. Just working on memorizing what cards do what before Royal Road comes in and messes me up! And the skill animations just feel so satisfying. I know I'm not healing any more than I am on my WHM, but the skills just feel like they have more punch to them. Tam-Tara was a bit hard because I hadn't healed on AST yet before and was having problems with taking enmity, and Toto Rak.well, we'll talk about Toto Rak in a minute because that run was horrible and I really don't think that was my fault. Although that Haukke Manor run went flawlessly, just saying. I've done a couple dungeons (Tam-Tara, Haukke Manor, and Toto Rak), and I don't feel like I'm doing horribly. Upon getting into Heavensward content, I immediately made my way over to the Astrologian guild, and I am now an Astrologian (level 32)! If I remember correctly, I died pretty much right at the end and the dragon died soon after I got back, so I guess I wasn't missed too much there. Luckily, the other healer was able to pick up the slack while I ran back. There was only one death, and that death was me because I was dumb and stood too close to the dragon's feet. The party assigned me the role of main healer while the other healer did cannons.
And then I jumped right in and did Steps of Faith because I needed to in order to continue on in the story. I did a couple practice runs of low-level dungeons (I think I did Copperbell Mines, Tam-Tara Deepcroft, and Haukke Manor) just to get used to healing again. Still playing Ayame Miyumi, although I used a Fantasia and she's Xaela Au Ra now instead of Raen.
