Chemist/White Mage

  • Revive / Occult Raise
    • The only means of raising fallen players inside the Forked Tower. Reviving the dead should always be your top priority.

We will usually mark Chemists and White Mages in other parties with Attack markers Attack marker. These macros will make it easier to raise them as it is quite important that they are alive. If multiple Attack targets are dead, it will target the first one until it stops being a valid Revive target.
