Or how about a BRD/WHM who is also on the cure pot staff and has access to ballad2/3 as well

Edit: Forgot how SMN is on cure pot staff has access to a cure pot+14% body through battle trophies on top of the buffs/cures their avatars could do.

So yes PLD is a sucky healer.
Minor differences. Augments within Cure 4 still don't take you near Cure 5 range, so what does it matter? PLD are no way great healers, but they don't suck too bad and within range of other mages was my point.
