    Another thing of note is that both M.Fruit and P.Embrace are just Cure V (-200 cure power for MF, -90 for PE), they share in it's soft / hard caps being significantly higher then what is possible with Cure IV / III. Also if / when SE alters the cure formula, this can/will directly boost Blue healing magic.
    Don't look at me. I jumped in because he was using terrible, shitty math to prove a point and I corrected it. If he wants to make some point completely unrelated to WHM, that's fine, but he doesn't get a free pass if he tries to bullshit his way through it.

    My point stands, however, with regards to RDM. RDM can cap Cure Potency now, so you'd still have to compare the non-Solaceskin numbers to BLU, with the exception of Cure V.

    This becomes:
    Pimped BLU using all augmented gear for 32% Cure Pot:

    Wild Carrot: 253/37 R = 6.84
    M Fruit: 678/72 R = 9.41
    P Embrace: 801/106 = 7.55

    Normal BLU using 24% Cure Pot:

    Wild Carrot: 238/37 R = 6.43
    M Fruit: 637/72 R = 8.84
    P Embrace: 753/106 = 7.10

    RDM with 50% Cure Pot:

    Cure2: 147 HP / 22 MP Ratio = 6.68
    Cure3: 307 HP / 42 MP Ratio = 7.31
    Cure4: 622 HP / 80 MP Ratio = 7.77

    BLU is pretty easily more potent than RDM, but it loses out on a ton of versatility if it's spec'd for healing alone.

    Edit: This is also ignoring the fact that Embrace has twice the recast of normal cures.
