no heal skill

[OPneedNerfs]

I know other jobs who'd rather have a MCH's cross class actions.

TBH, MNK cross class skills aren't that good. Why do you even need that self heal anyway?

I'd take Invigorate/BFB or Raging Strikes/Quelling Strikes anyday.

That's 4 skill slots out of 5 that you can use. Beyond that, you have keen flurry and feint. The former that rarely amounts to mitigation and the latter only being feasible to use an GCD while moving with GB active (which is never when you can just turn it off and re-enable it on the go). MNK cross skills are by no means bad, but I wouldn't take it over DRG/BRD if we're only limited to 2 classes to cross from.

As a blm, I'll trade physick for a dps skill any day. It's basically a wasted cross class spot; it's uses limited to a niche role in a handful of main scenario quests.

"any amount of ability to alleviate healers"

If that's how you're using it, please stop. If you're grouped with a healer you have 0 reason to touch your healing spells as a dps.

You can't really compare second wind to physick though. SW works off attack potency and is oGCD (meaning you can use without interrupting your damage rotation) while phyisck scales off mind stat.

It was op that made the comparison. Op also included pld cure.
