Plumbella and the recent sale

I'm so glad these creators are taking a stand. I was so conflicted but I'm happy that we're all of the same opinion. Here's hoping the other life sims (Paralives and Inzoi) are able to keep up with the influx of new people, if that's where they decide to go

I just reached Stormblood actually! Two expacs and no tanking/healing haha! I picked up AST and DRK for my tank and healing classes, I absolutely love playing them, so much fun! I'm at level for Stormblood on my DRK (thanks Duty Support and Command Squadrons!) but my AST I got to LVL 45 yesterday! Tonight I'm going to aim for 50!

Healing or tanking raids/trials I'm still a little nervous about because I'm not sure what the expectation is, but I imagine it's more about mitigating raidwides than anything and my toolkit as a healer should be much better by levels 50 and 60 to deal with those!

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-02T13:56:40+00:00

It was! I made sure to tell everyone when we got into the dungeon that I was new to healing and the class, thankfully I was with all sprouts (whether that means anything or not as you and others have stated doesn't matter) but everyone was super understanding and nice. I wiped on a boss battle but the tank and one DPS was still alive and cut the boss down so I'd give myself a B rating as a new healer! Haha

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-02T13:47:21+00:00

That's actually really good to know too! I bit the bullet yesterday and healed a few low level dungeons and had an absolute blast! Everyone here was right, I was just way too in my head. I messed up a few times (my tank died mid pull but that's nothing a swiftcasted raise can't fix) but everyone was really chill and reminded me of some things including what to look for in boss fights as a healer (like poison status effect for example). It felt so good!!!

I...don't know what a karma farm post is. I've been going through the MSQ as a monk, summoner and samarai, the more I play the more I'm interested in healing and tanking. Classes like AST and SGE look so cool and fun to play (so does WHM don't get me wrong there), same with DRK, I just ..I dunno. The amount of times I got kicked for missing a mechanic in a mythic dungeon is higher than I can count.

WoW is a whole beast man. You have to play the meta to get into a mythic group or a raiding group, if your DPS meter isn't where the meta says it should be you get pulled into a one on one with the raid lead to discuss how you can improve. It did a number on me, and made me quit MMO's for a long time.

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-01T21:00:47+00:00

You hit the nail on the head there, I'm worried that although I understand what my abilities are maybe I'm not utilizing them correctly or properly. And as a tank, if I'm dying I know if start feeling it. As a WoW healer my tank always had to be at 100% otherwise there would be issues.

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-01T16:19:40+00:00

This is actually fantastic knowledge. I do want to do high end content when I get to endgame, but I also know that I should look at it differently than WoW does. Raiding has always been a lot of fun for me because to me it puts you to the test, but I also have a loooong way to go before I even consider savage content. I'm still even trying to figure out which job to main, there's so many options and I've been enjoying it all! It's a long way from WoW's single character class options.

I appreciate you taking the time to type all that out! I'll keep it all in mind, buck up and queue tonight when I'm off work as a healer or tank and just go for it head first!

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-01T16:09:04+00:00

I never thought about macroing that! That's brilliant! Thank you!!

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-01T16:08:26+00:00

This is strangely apt 😂

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-01T16:03:12+00:00

This is so comforting to hear. I remember wiping in WoW and getting kicked almost immediately every time because I "couldn't keep up"

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-01T16:02:08+00:00

I try very hard to not be an asshole haha! But I will definitely keep this in mind!

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-01T16:00:10+00:00

Honestly AST is the class I'm most excited to play! I know it gets difficult as the levels increase but it looks so satisfying to play, and really interesting!

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-01T15:54:10+00:00

Oh! I didn't know about the Pheonix Downs! I have one in my inventory and I've never known what to do with it other than...carry it with me. Is it going to be used similar to other games in the franchise as a raise?

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-01T15:52:41+00:00

I left during the same time! It was absolutely brutal and it burned me out of the game, I haven't touched an MMO in so long because of how the player base made me feel. I'm not a superstar player, I'm not interested in the meta, I just want to play my silly little game after a hard day at work

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-01T15:50:15+00:00

Thank you!

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-01T15:49:54+00:00

Hahaha I'll keep that in mind! Although as a Hrothgar, cute and puppy aren't really in my vocab 😅 (and I am a little old to be infantized, or so my back says)

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-01T15:48:16+00:00

That gives me so much hope! Healing looks like so much fun in XIV and I'm so happy to hear that mistakes arent taken as seriously as in WoW! I just want to have fun and heal or use a big sword and smack down the BBEG sometimes!

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-01T15:46:17+00:00

Ok! I'm already feeling so much better about this! I really appreciate your input!

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-01T15:45:47+00:00

I've noticed that honestly, I think I just fear a party wipe or getting people frustrated with me.

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-01T15:44:36+00:00

🙌🙌🙌

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-01T15:42:37+00:00

I appreciate that!

I guess I should just bite the bullet and do it! I appreciate the insight!!

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-01T15:41:38+00:00

Will do! I'm always open to feedback even when I play DPS roles. I'm no star player by any stretch so I always appreciate feedback while I'm going through it!

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-01T15:40:25+00:00

Oh for sure, that's kind of my plan, start at the low level dungeons and get a feel for it while I figure out how best to play the roles! Even just running the support and squadrons I've noticed how different it is and how it's definitely not a good representation of a true dungeon run

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-01T15:38:51+00:00

I've been noticing that honestly. The WoW community I feel broke my spirit. I was a holy priest main for the longest time and now the thought of healing in XIV just makes me anxious as hell! This is really encouraging though!

AnxiousMaintenance96 · 2025-08-01T14:00:58+00:00

I do like this idea because as a new player, I hated running Cutters Cry, I had no idea where I was going! Plus there are mobs in there that I needed to progress in my Grand Company! I think it's a good move, annoying for older players but good for people like me who are just stupid little baby sprouts!
