I mentioned that the reason these skills seem more useless is the difference of mnd to int at 60 with level and gear. Once again if you can use it in a niche situation (barley any of your play time are you healing as SMN) which i find fine. The only big use to the skills seems to be at low level (Arcanist can heal jsut as well as a cjr) but at that point people are still learning their jobs at 50+ their should not be that much learning left. The OG was complaining about healing his/her pet which their is a skill made for that already. And the SCALEING is great with MIND.
    The main complaint of the OP and most others was actually not about healing their summoner pet; the first post doesn't even mention it. That a SMN should use sustain and not need to physick is not the argument for it, but it does still have its use on pets as well. The sentiment is for people to keep the niche situation relevant, not increase its uses. As far as cross class skills being seeming to be made something on the wayside, I think that is a different topic altogether. They made a lot of abilities cross class that just make no sense not to have -- damage increase, protect, provoke. And the jobs which don't have that option get their own version of it in some cases. I think that is more a corner they put themselves in than trying to phase out certain abilities.

    This thread seems more about keeping that situational use relevant rather than making it something more "useful" or powerful. It was already being used, but in the same situations it is now not where it was. Yes, because of the mind vs HP growth difference

    But what about when HP grows even higher? Let's say it used to be 10%, went to 5%, and then to 1%. Eventually it would be hopeless.

    Also I hope I don't come off as argumentative, I am enjoying the discussion
