    It is usable.
    Is it going to save you if you're being attacked by another player? Nope. As it should be. No DPS should be able to sustain their own HP while under assault.

    Therein lies the issues. It works perfectly fine as it is. You can use it in an emergency, but its exactly that, emergency healing. A BLM or SMN spamming Physik at me on my Warrior while waiting for the Healer to finish Raising is more than adequate on a boss fight, it keeps me just barely alive along with my own defensive skills long enough.
    Make it any stronger and you can drop the Healer entirely in favor of a BLM/SMN to occasionally spam Physik on the Tank before going back to DPS.
    And for the PvP aspect, if you make it too strong, You could get yourself back to full in a matter of seconds while fighting.
    Could you imagine how frustrating it would be to chip away at that BLM/SMNs HP, only to get hit with a Bind/Sleep and they get to full HP before it wore off.

But what were my other options, hope for a random tank to show up and take over, or for a random healer to start healing my pet as the main fate target's target? If Titan egi died, I'd have gone down right after and it's not like I'd be able to count on any of the random players around me to help prevent that, not on my server. If my Physick had been worth half a damn I could have focused on more DPS skills and having to spam a weak heal over and over on my tank pet.

    Why not give us a bit more Mind and make heal spells more effective, when we need to use them? If a DPS starts casting heals left and right when they should be doing offensive spells- that's what DPS checks in fights are for.
    Because a DPS Job that is simultaneously Tanking, healing and DPSing is perfectly balanced right? The very fact that were able to keep Titan alive in that situation speaks volumes about its value in its current state.
