Hi friends! I was inspired to make this video as I’ve seen a lot of new players (especially beginner healers) in roulettes recently. I know it’s a super long guide and I hope it can be helpful to a number of people. If you’re already an OP healer who’s carrying their team in savage, then this guide probably isn’t for you, but as the title states, if you are a beginner or intermediate level healer, then there may be some useful info in here for you!

A VERY solid and comprehensive general FFXIV healing guide! I feel like a lot of the things that you brought up are "assumed knowledge" in Job Specific guides, so videos like this are very useful! I'm actually gonna add it to my favorites so I can send to new healers I meet! 🙂
Been healing for a few weeks now. Still found lots in here as great reminders, as well as a few tips to look forward to. Thank you!
one small point: HUD is pronounced 'hud' as one word (like "bud" but with an 'h'). Thanks for the great guide!
Glad you put a guide out like this. Your friendly demeanor and tone lends well to guides. Pretty comprehensive to boot!
Love how humble you are 🙂
Thank you for the guide.
Great vid Aitheria! Only thing to add with the parts where you're talking about Esuna, is that if you look at the debuff, you can esuna it if it has a white bar over it.
pharos sirus as a sage is a good workout for your heart early in the morning :>
As always best videos 👍
Reminder to all the newbie healers than Free Cure is a trap! Avoid Cure 1 once you get Cure 2 (except for very niche situations)
