So.. most wynns dont heal their pets
and its up to healers to do that
but so far im having trouble even seeing their hp
atm i rely on "pt members pet/servitor hp gauge" on screen info
but i can only their hp when im close
it also makes it hard when there are alot of mobs or if the summons are stacked on eachother and you cant see the dying one.
tell the summoner to use balance life then use progressive heal on the summoner. If he cannot do something as simple as click a single button to save his own pet, then let him die, finish up and replace him with a better summoner.
There are more skills on a summoner than the pets, dots and exiles.
They just need to learn how to use them. And the fact that you heal slow with a bow is not a problem of the healer, thats just someone not using their brain when gearing up.
this bothers me also not being able to see the life bars.
not even when you scroll over them... you also can't select them even if there is only one summon like for tank or healer.
but as these experienced folk mentioned...
it is a known issue and an experienced summoner will be able to mitigate the problem by using their skills accordingly.
There is a setting in Options to See HP Gauges for Group Members' Pets and Servitors. Toggle it on.
The Reuse of Mana Share is such that it doesn't matter if you have a Bow or a Retributer. The Cast is faster, but you won't gain significantly more HPS by switching weapons unless you switch Harmonies from Warrior to Wizards to get more Reuse Reduction.
Every Mage class should at least have a Freya, at the very least, which doesn't help a lot... but it at least helps.
Some players just don't think they should have to do much more than cast 4 marks ad nauseum... Avoid those, if possible.
Casting Fairy of Life on the summoner would help a bit, too. At least you will know when to throw a Balance Heal here and there, just watching the cubic animation, plus having 3 cubics at once to aid healing your entire party, yay!
Hp gauges in your options menu, then you can see everyone's hp in the party without watching your bars. It helps a lot and you'll become more aware of your surroundings and less bored healing. If you see your wynn casting their heal then hit balance heal, you don't really ever need to target a pet unless it's tanking then you just assist the boss to heal the one taking damage.
Lol, so you're saying you never did it and dissing me because I can walk and chew gum at the same time? I'm a SS.. I have a 1h magic blunt for healing, with an mattack augment. It does wonderful things, like giving big single target heals. Most geared summoners pets can handle the damage, there are a few that can't and shouldn't be trying to tank. Maybe your summoners are running around with wizards idk.
So you actually heal them with single target heal then?
I dont know about the pets you are healing but mine have a few tens of thousands of hp, why would want to heal them with something that doesnt manipulate hp %, I dont know.
No summoner I know use wizards, not sure where you got that from.
More than 30k hp, use % heals. Stop wasting time and mp on single target heal.
Unless you have like 100k or 200k matk, you arent healing anywhere near efficient with your lil heal.
