White Mage using Physick? O.o

Hi!

Yesterday I did a Main Scenario roulette as White Mage. There was another White Mage in the party that was geared much better than me.

What I thought was weird was the fact that he often used Physick instead of Cure.
Is there some sort of benefit to it? Isn't it the same as Cure minus the chance for a free Cure II?

Just preference tbh,
tbh not sure why they would want to, but hey if they are keeping all alive and not having MP issues no need to worry.

Casting pose.. It's different than cure, that person must found it cool. ;)

They're missing out on their procs if they use physick only. Waste of MP.

But I'm presuming using physick doesn't proc the freecure buff, so they're gimping themselves slightly if they are.

Since it's Main Scenario roulette, he probably used it because he liked the casting animation better and wasn't really worried about using the Freecure proc he'd get from Cure. They have the same potency, so they'll heal for the same amount regardless.

Freecure is a useful proc, but it's not really necessary in Main Scenario unless the party's gear is made of tissue paper.

Physick and Cure are literally exactly the same: Same potency and cast time. Freecure does, however, only proc on uses of Cure, so a WHM switching abilities is a bit silly :)

My brother was doing the opposite: SCH curing. Maybe he's leveled a WHM and I didn't know it!

The casting animation is cooler!
