Sad to see that still no cure V for red mage or scholar

[Daniel]

I'll second that

[Seriha]

I'd rather have a unique RDM over going back to the pink mage days.

This.

Additionally they said they were trying to find more unique means of assisting curing and support rather than just giving higher tiers of cure around.

I agree with the OP. Party dont want redmage and scholar anymore bc of the lack of healing power. Even if our debuff is godlike, no one care i had to recycle myself in blackmage to enter seal's party and no i dont want to be whitemage. I like hybrid caster. We dont ask for cure VI we ask for cure V. think about it. We didnt received any new cure since level 48. Forget regeneration 2, we get it too late. And more now they give addle to whitemage... oh not like i care, this spell is useless by most standard. Raise 2??? what a joke. yes great we have another raise... that it.. no one care now of exp lost. No serious, we need CURE V now, not in 8 month at level 99.

Maybe a please can change something? PLEASE!! PLEASE!!

Im extremly upset too, whm should not get addle, and sch should not get raise3, or rdm raise 2 - whm only job is to cure, not half-ass dd like a rdm or nuke like a sch so thats why no cure 5 for sch or rdm. I know this isnt the black magic forum but quickly, breakga is basiclly a weaker version of stunaga, since break rarely processes vs. stun on nm. Its helpful but i'd rather stunaga, thank you.

WHM is the best job to cure, they are NOT the only ones that can cure however.

RDM are the Enfeeblers but the spells are passed to EVERY job that's not logical if they go by your theory.
RDM are the Magical Enhancers (apparently) yet have no special spells that WHM can't do better again doesn't make sense.

As for Stunga there is absolutely NO reason to add it, if you need to stun multiple people it's because of the danger, one second break from Stun is NOT better than ~30 seconds from Breakga.

I'm thrilled that they didn't give sch or rdm cure V...back at 75 whm was all but obsolete because rdm and sch could match our cures and were so much better at mp efficiency, then they'd turn around and complain about only ever being asked to main heal parties....I can't even count how many rdm's complained to me about having to main heal meripos :P now we whms have a hold on the top of the healing hill with cure V and everyone else wants it...keep it whm only SE!

If Cure V is the only thing keeping White Mage at the top of the hill then the game has some serious design issues to work out.

That's the sad thing, it isn't why WHM is the top healer. Even if RDM and SCH had cure5, they still wouldn't compare to a WHM, especially next update. Why?:

1) Cureskin is amazing
2) JA MDB bonus thingy? omg so amazing
3) Amazingly strong barspells
4) Shellra5 5/5 is amazing

WHM offers too much survivability, even without factoring in Cure5. I'd still feel sooo much safer with a WHM than any RDM or SCH, but oh well?
