Concerns about " Getting rid of unused and ineffective actions"

[lulunami]

I'm...not entirely certain what you mean by "the benefit's in Cure 3's cast time and speed". Cure III is the slowest Cure spell, having a 2.5s cast time, compared to Cure I and II's 2.0s cast time. It's also flat out worse, with a lower potency and the only benefit being a 4y radius...which is only a bit larger than melee range. You might as well cast Medica, unless everyone in need of healing is packed together. Unless you meant regular Cure? But then the advantage would be a lower MP cost, not speed...

No, Cure III has the same cast and recast time as Cure I and Cure II, 2.0s cast and 2.5s recast. Medica (2.5s cast and 2.5s recast) and Medica II (3.5s cast and 3.0s recast) have slower cast times. Cure III is useful when you need to quickly heal players' HP for a subsequent AoE attack. Healing is just balancing MP efficiency vs. GCD efficiency vs. time. Sometimes you have to ignore MP efficiency.

In this raid tier with A11 Savage and A12 Savage, Cure III is very useful to use as a WHM since there are multiple subsequent party-wide AoE that require everyone's HP to be topped off quickly.

Ah, did some additional information searching and you're correct. Apologies for the misinformation. (Though that would still mean that the OP was incorrect, if Cure III has the same cast time as Cure I/II... Unless they were trying to compare to Medica, I guess.)

Presuming SE is capable of designing fights that give good usage of Cure III's AoE, then I'd presume that it would still end up the same way - Cure III is a valuable asset to the WHM, and so isn't a target for being deleted.

I was more referring to the traits of Freecure and Overcure, which makes Cure 1 have a 15% chance of making Cure II's MP cost be 0, and Overcure gives Cure II's a 15% of making Cure III's cost half MP. I'd imagine it really goes a long way to help white mages conserve mp for longer fight.
