How to Play the White Mage Class Well in Final Fantasy XIV?

White Mage was designed to fill the role as a primary healer in Final Fantasy XIV, keeping the party alive and fighting another day. A powerful White Mage is useful to any party, and some players thrive in this role, but you need to know some tips to play this role well!

1. Always Burn Through Your Lilies

At the latter levels, White Mages will receive a lily every 30 seconds in combat at the latter levels, which is basically a free healing spell. A White Mage can hold three lilies at a time. Therefore, you should use it pretty much immediately when you get it (you can't stack blood lilies, so don't risk wasting this valuable resource).

If you use three lilies, you gain access to the Blood Lily. It can be used to cast Afflatus Elend - a potent damage spell that can hit multiple targets. It is best to use that attack the moment it pops up as accessible.

2. Save Swiftcast For Your Raise Spell

The Raise spell takes a long time to cast and leaves a White Mage vulnerable for a while. Therefore, you need to use Swiftcast. It is a spell a lot of magic users get that allows one spell to be instantly cast.

3. Don't Use Regenerate Before The Tank Pulls Enemies

Wait until the tank successfully aggroes all nearby enemies before casting Regen. If cast too early on a tank, or any player, enemies will notice the healer before the tank and attack them.

4. Be Very Careful When Using Rescue

Healers like White Mages get the controversial spell: Rescue. This spell literally drags other players to where the White Mage is. This, at particular times, can save the life of your fellow players. At the wrong time, though, it will do far more harm than good.

5. Heal Yourself Before All Else

Healers are the most important class to a party. Without them, everyone will die. Due to that, a healer should be a healers' priority.

6. Always Keep Regen On The Tank

Regen is the best friend of the White Mage. For 18 seconds, it slowly cures whatever player it has been cast on. With that in mind, it is common White Mage practice to have Regen on the party tank constantly. The tank's job is to take all the damage, so it is guaranteed at all times that regen will be of use to them.

7. Get Used To Checking If Players Need Esuna

White Mages can actually be pretty split on what should be prioritized in terms of Esuna. Advice-wise though, Esuna has such a quick cast-time that it is best to just cast it on whatever debuff you see in the party.

8. Don't Bother With Cure I Once You Get Cure II

Most players agree that Cure I is irrelevant once Cure II is unlocked. Sure, if you play low-level dungeons, keep Cure I on your Hotbar. Maybe keep it on keys you do not often use, though, if you are high level.

9. Always Be Casting, Either Healing Or Dealing Damage

White Mages should always be dealing damage when they are not healing. Just because it is known for healing does not mean that that is all they do. Helping a party take down an enemy faster is a form of defense.

10. Don't Be Afraid To Spam Holy In Mobs

Holy is a monstrous spell. It not only deals damage to all nearby enemies, but it also stuns them for four seconds. That is damage to enemies as well as less damage to your party members.

All in all, White Mage is a great healer who also has access to great damage. Also, to access more Final Fantasy XIV guides, tips, tricks, or buy FF14 Gil. Stay tuned to ffxiv4gil.com.
