Because a higher potency heal with 130% shield will do a lot more than 5 extra ticks of a regen.



I honestly don't see this as a problem when the over healing is coming from Regen effects... It's not like I'm going out of my way to stop nuking to over heal and waste MP by casting Benefic II when Benefic isn't even necessary, it's Regen. If it's causing over healing I don't really care, I'll just continue nuking while you're reapplying Nocturnal. I might be over healing, but I'm casting less heals. Regen based over healing is the ideal situation IMO, the only reason it'll cause MP issues is from the vast number of nukes I'll be casting...

The only drawback with Regen is terrible tanks and pulls.
Not having any mitigation so you can opt to have regens that effectively do nothing because white mage regens are more than enough is a rather weird priority choice.
