If you manage to get a 5s cast time on BlizV thats still 2 more refresh ticks(1 second carrying over from recast) so that's 240mp in the time it takes you to spam BlizV if you have NO REFRESH GEAR. If this is ALL you cast(aka you're being bad) thats 1680 mp lost over 30minutes. You still have MP remaining if you only convert once. Factoring Blizzard IV and you start using more MP yes but if somethings lasting more than 15 minutes you're doing something wrong so where's the problem?.

And Cure VI is straight up inefficient. It costs twice as much as Cure V but heals much less than twice as much and far more than is needed outside of abyssea.
There's no such thing as overnuking as I said before in case anything I say later in this post makes someone think I'm "overnuking".

You can lower the recast of spells further with Haste as well as FC. You also can only nuke as fast as your mp regenerates. Any boost to refresh is a direct boost to a BLM's stream of damage over time.


I don't know about the benefits and downside's of Cure VI, but I'm sure WHM will eventually grow into it, like the change from II to III or III to IV. They became more potent as you leveled, until they hit the soft cap. My guess is Cure VI is very far from hitting its soft cap.
