Update on JP thread about known issues:

1) Cure still not being priority: Their response "use a damage guage + 2 or more light maneuvers to make cure take priority". They are considering lowering it to 1+ light maneuvers

2) They know about it trying to erase sleep (not sure about it trying to erase aura affects)

3) harle head + harle body wont cast. And harly head + any body (mage or range) wont cast or range.

4)They are still recommending using scanner to test a mobs resistance while casting silence on mobs ><

5) something about shield bash, and it not going off in time unless its a long casting spell.

would that actually do anything about your puppet casting silence on regular crabs etc? i'm guessing absolutely not

Lol they are considering it? Hello SE it shouldn't be that way in the first place you tools.

1) *Sigh* that's just stupid. It should be the exact opposite; we should need a maneuver to prioritize -na's, over cures, not the other way around. HEALING MY HP is ALWAYS more beneficial to my survival than removing a status effect when under 50% HP, and almost always more beneficial over 50%. There is not a single healer in this game who would honestly choose to blindna/paralyna/silena/cursna/viruna/stona/erase/poisona INSTEAD of cure IV/V/VI when the target in question is in red HP. Not one, INCLUDING NPC FELLOWS. The fact that this is apparently the INTENDED way automatons work is not an acceptable answer. I'm not going to be happy with it until it's Cure > status removal at all HP%, with status removal becoming top priority if, and ONLY if there are more water maneuvers than light maneuvers.

2) Honestly though, if they can fix this to what it should be, casting Cure I when slept, I'd be hard pressed to believe they can't make the cure selection a little more intelligent, especially given that npc fellows have had the exact cure selection we've been asking for for years. If the automaton can determine which specific nuke from stone I to thunder V will remove the remaining HP of a monster (if unresisted), there's no reason it shouldn't be able to also determine the inverse for players; which cure is needed to restore x amount of missing HP.

3) Good, it's a bug. At least it makes testing magic mortar more convenient by removing offensive spells from morethan one head/frame combo (VE/storm beingthe other), thus allowing a little more freedom with attachment selection for testing.

4) This whole "well just equip scanner and that should fix it" crap is absolutely unacceptable, and they need to realize it. We shouldn't be required to waste slots to fix an AI problem that shouldn't exist in the first place. It's like preventing the player from casting certain necessary spells if they don't have a piece of gear equipped. I don't mean like impact from twilight cloak, I mean like a whm having to have full AF (including af weapon) equipped in order to cast any cure spell. It's just obnoxious.

5) no idea.
