As a healer, I get annoyed when I see RDM do this. Simply because as a healer main for 4 years, I've already started my cast on them, or whoever they're trying to heal. If they use their skill to make it instant, it results in me over healing. If not instant, it's them who over heals.
Vercure has saved me many times from unavoidable aoe damage because the healer was slacking.
This. It also lets tank survives a hit while the healer is slacking or is dead. It nicely forms a combo with tank heal + raise a healer. But all too often I'd have to use it to top myself off after being targeted for a mechanic, the healer not healing me back up, and then the next raid-wide AoE was going to kill me.
The problem was that Vercure was actually becoming part of my rotation in the EX primals because of all the bad play in there. So not only are we losing DPS from people dying, we're losing DPS from me having to fix all of the problems and raising healers etc.
So I just went back to BLM so I can just not be bothered with it.
I'm a red mage and sometimes I like to take the stress off the healer and heal myself in sticky situations and I also like to help the healer revive ppl and I get thanked in the end
How would one even make a melee only RDM... Just started leveling mine and there's only like 3 melee attacks right? You cast your spells until you have enough of each mana, jump in with your heavy hitting enhanced melee, jump out and repeat.
Vercure IS part of the RDM rotation during downtime to ready chainspell/Dualcast
I usually just use Vercure/Verraise if :
1. One or both Healers are dead.
2. Both are low on MP and my Mana Shift is down.
3. Most of the people in the party didn't know mechanics and eats all AoEs, to the point that number one and/or two become a really likely possibility.
