Coming from healing in a lot of other MMOs, healing in FFXIV is quite a different animal in a lot of ways. While I didn't play healer for my first job, I'm now exploring it and have a basic question about the basic idea behind healing dungeon pulls. (For the record, my WHM is now lvl 52, so he has access only to a limited kit.)
So, the tank starts the pull, picking up mobs along the way. Let's assume that the tank is going to pull until the wall—what should I be doing when? The tank is taking damage along the way and may (at least in my experience so far) be only getting proximity aggro on a couple of the mobs along the pull.
I think that the healing approach is meant to be quite different that, say, WoW, and I just want to be sure that I'm thinking about what to do when in the right way for FFXIV. Thanks!
(I've mained healer in MMOs since EQ, but I mained NIN in FFXIV and am having a hard time finding healing fun in this game, which is weird for me.)
