Cure III.

[Riko_Futatabi]

This isn't a bug, however this spell is vastly underwhelming and rarely used by many players for the fact that it has a ridiculously high mp cost and low area of effect radius(4y). Like I said this isn't a bug and is probably "working as intended" BUT, how could it be working as intended if many players aren't even considering using it for the reasons I've stated above? There is rarely a situation where you get the benefit from this spell, which merits the title BUG since it's bugging me and many others who play WHM and have an almost useless spell.

If any change needs to be made for others to consider using it and want to use it more often you'd most likely have to slightly reduce the MP cost to around 1.5x that of Cure II and increase the range to at least 10 yalms.

I agree with this. I just hit level 50 on my WHM not too long ago and I realized that I never hit that button because it does NOTHING... I'm pretty sure Medica I does more healing overall, and costs less. It takes away the novelty of finally not having to run into the fray for a group heal when it does nothing of use and instead saps away all my MP for a heal that often heals less than Cure I.

This spell needs a bit of a reworking to be more useful to a WHM's rotation!

I feel bad posting in this thread because it's completely in the wrong section, but I think you misunderstand the situational use of Cure III. It is the most burst AOE heal in the game.
I think it's easiest to explain by directly comparing the 3 AOE heals we get...
Medica- Potency: 300 Range: 0 (self) Radius: 15
Medica II- Potency: 200 Range: 0 (self) Radius: 20 Regen Potency: 100 for 15s
Cure III- Potency: 550 Range: 30 Radius: 4

So let's go over some situations...
Situation 1) Your group just got hit with an area wide AOE for about 1/4 HP and you know there is no more aoe damage incoming. Medica II will give a good heal and slowly top everyone off.

Situation 2) Your group got hit with an AOE and more AOE is coming. Medica I will heal everyone nearby for a healthy amount and maybe throw down a medica II if the next aoe is a lot of damage as well.

Situation 3) Your melee dps or a stacked range group just got hit with an AOE and chunked down very low. Cure III has an effective range of 34, which is WAYYY higher than either Medica, and so you can toss it onto a small group without having to move. If it's a cure III crit proc you likely just put everyone back up to 75-80% and they can easily be topped off with a cure or left alone.

There is no in-game feedback section, only website feedback. So you have no need to feel "bad".

I'm sure you do think that, but I understand it's use which is a rare occurrence at the moment. I'm simply suggesting a tweek to the spell to make it easier to even consider using more often than others may currently be.
