Thanks for taking the time to explain in detail.

While I'd personally just let people stay a little below full and cast Cure III more often to save a few more MP, I can understand how Regen could be useful in that situation and that sounds totally kosher.

I've met enough Cure V/Cure VI/AFK VII White Mages to understand some of your rage, I guess. I don't know what makes healing jobs in FFXI so hard to play, but I've encountered plenty of folks in-game who think status ailments age like a particularly smelly European cheese.

It's always a bad idea to totally dismiss any spell in White Mage's spell list, other than maybe Diaga, since the job has roughly two billion niche spells for two billion niches. Actually, Diaga is my favorite spell.

Because whm requires you to pay attention and think to be good at it. and a surprising number of players have a hard time with these concepts, which is why DNC and SCH or not popular or you get that one idiot saying "this job sucks" because they are the 2 jobs that require ALOT of thinking to be good at. it's just how this community is. nothing you can do about, general rule with most players is if it's easy it's popular, which is why SAM and MNK were bandwagoned to hell because they require very little thinking, and are just mainly auto attack ---> press a macro. i hate that in this game but what can you do?

If you have ever played Demon's souls that type of fighting engine is what i wish FF had, you can't just "run up and attack" in that game or you will go no further then the 1st stage.
