While I'm aware that it reaches its full potency faster than Regen, my biggest issue with the spell is its slightly weaker potency per GCD for a higher MP cost. Based off of your math over the course of 126 seconds, A. Bene (assuming full uptime) equates to 1.46 potency per MP while Regen is sitting at 1.70 I feel like I'm blowing way too much mp over the course of a fight maintaining the regen. 1200 MP over 2 minutes into a fight is a lot of MP considering how long A3S and A4S go on for (10 ~ 11 minutes for the average group).

I don't feel like the MP cost justifies its total potency even if it reaches its maximum potential sooner than Regen. While I do prefer Regen for its mana efficiency and duration, I also do not think the initial heal justifies the MP cost due to the increased potential to overheal on pull and on phase transitions.

That said, I make the spell work and it is not a bad spell by any means. Thank you for your insight and evaluation on the two spells, Ghishlain. I've always liked your posts .
