Medica/Medica II/Cure III/Succor Radius Indicator

Perhaps a green spell circle could appear under the healer (or under the target in the case of a Cure III) while the spell is being cast.

I can see how that would work! Only problem would be people still standing outside the indicator, but to be honest again, that's their problem, not the healer's.

Honestly, adding this feature means I get to yell at everyone and feel justified, lol! I personally feel having this would improve a party's performance. And you're 100% correct; ignoring your own position in relation to the healer's is the player's responsibility; this will simply make it easier to manage.

Sometimes you do need a stick to beat people with, haha. Okay, I can see how this would be helpful. I don't think it's necessary, but I can see how it would potentially improve performance, for example if your DPS doesn't realise they're out of range and the healer doesn't have time to move.

Agreed. Not totally necessary, but is something that I think can only be beneficial. And I've mained Healer since September and recently picked up BLM, both situations can happen quite easily during HM primals (haven't touched EX, not sure if I'm looking forward to doing so.)

Oh, and I remembered the reason for changing mob AoE colors was to improve playability for colorblind players; so perhaps the healing ring could be a blue color instead of green.

I have tried Garuda EX, never finished though (got to last phase before we lost a member or two) -- I don't think it would be super useful in Garuda EX, but maybe in the other EX? I can definitely see its use in HM, and also maybe in Coil even to some extent. Occasionally popping a Swifcast > Medica II post-split in T1 when multiple people are hit by Regorge can be really helpful, and I can imagine it'd be useful to show party members where to stand to get the benefit.

Good idea on colour blind friendliness!

Unfortunately Swiftcast would ignore the healing ring (because its shown during casting). Personally Swiftcast is always saved for emergency raise for me. If I NEEd fast healing I'll dig out the ol' Presence of Mind, lol.
