Paladins have been playing the game wrong this way since they got clemency (and occasionally some even before that!).

considering ive been in a fight at critical lvls of health (roughly below 20%) , and the healer completely ignores me for quite along time , i Vercure myself and then suddenly the healer starts flipping out on me XD at this point just forget about RDM that Vercure themselves if theyre hurt , theres plenty of cases where a healer ignores a dps. this isnt new.
Lets not forget that this is FFXIV where the average player has below average skill. I don't run statics and pug most stuff so I run across a lot of bad healers (hi scholars), especially in 8-mans. RDM heals, mine or anothers, as well as rezes have carried teams hard at times. The low skill level goes for DPS and Tanks. Often it feels like DPS are attracted to red rather then fear it.
My VerRaise and Vercure spam on the DRK as the healer ressed saved us a wipe on the final boss of ala migho today, granted the healer was new but Im proud of it, and I have no shame admitting I use those spells when needed.

Vercure is part of my rotation, as opener before a boss re-appears after phase change (Susano EX post-sword/Lakshmi EX post-dance). So u can start Verthunder/Veraero as soon as the boss becomes targetable, without spending a Swiftcast.
