Don't forget, that except for keeping an eye on everyone's status/health, he has to throw in the occasional combo as well. They're doing double shift, and can sometimes miss a heal. Don't be stingy, and have a sufficient amount of pots, especially right before boss runs or while entering an area with a high concentration of both enemies and traps.


@Phys: depending on the party I'm playing with, I sometimes rush ahead, kill some or most of the mob, and leave the rest "wounded".
My fellows coming in after me just need to finish the job and put the poor mob out of its misery.
This style is quite often used when doing boss runs.
BUT
It also requires some degree of trusting your companions.
