Under most circumstances, Cure and various regens and oGCD abilities are actually sufficient, maybe with occasional Cure 2; however, you may not see very many Lilies this way, and/or you may not have them when you want them.
this is exactly my point. you dont *ever* want to stack lilies for the sake of stacking them. lilies arent ever needed except for benison, so i pop benison right away on that occasional cure 2 since the lily will eventually get eaten by assize or tetra or asylum soon after. that way i have to heal even less, which lets me dps even more. besides, using benison only as a shield for tankbusters is unoptimal; even if you use cure 2 and benison AFTER a tankbuster, benison still works since its going to be eaten by autoattacks, so benison in itself is really more of a "heal" for 15% of the tank's hp.


bottom line is because cure 2 gives you a lily all the time, you can benison right after it and its a result similar to landing a critical hit on that cure 2. since cure 2 is not frequently casted, benison is usually up by the time you cast it again, which means its like youre critting every single cure 2 you use.
