Stop spamming Medica I & II/diurnal Aspected Helios

Overhealing is a surprisingly common thing, even among healers who've cleared Sigmascape Savage from my experience. I've actually run into multiple WHMs who didn't use Medica II at all and mostly spammed Cure III.

Knowing how much damage is incoming and keeping people just above the kill threshold for the next AoE is one of the marks of a skilled healer and they reward it by boosting your LB gauge faster.

If the healer keeps everyone alive, dont worry about how they do it.

I feel the practice comes from scholars using whispering dawn a lot, though whispering dawn is free and doesn't interrupt your GCD

There are situations where it might be useful, like if you see actual AoE damage, but I'd generally just use a cure 2 after the fact, save the enmity and MP if it's just the tank

Largesse + Regen or Asylum + Regen feels a lot more economical when there are rocks to be thrown!!!

MRW the healer puts medica II on the entire party and regen on me before I double pull.

Healer forums are that way ----->

On topic to all the healers that do that pre-pull:

When a healer spams Medica II, I just think they don't know the fight well coz you never know how skilled your group is so you shouldn't be wasting MP like that.

I think its fair to say I don't want the OP healing in my party.

I do not trust him. Not one bit.

Better an overhealer than a "reactive" healer who is too late.

If they know the fight well enough - fine.

But telling people to stop using because its too much? Even for aggro? The aggro thing I can get. A great many people already know this strangely enough. But you discouraging its use to be economical? What?

It's bad enough I don't see white mages ever using Medica II (Never mind Esuna) - No thanks. I'll pass on your so called advise based on your lack of experience.

As its been said...if the party survives...and no one is wiped out. I'll take that over a lazy mage who doesn't heal. ( A complaint I've been receiving from my members who do random roulette these days)

I've yet to see a non-trolling healer use Medica 2 pre pull, and pre pull regen usually happens when it is mistimed and used towards the end of a trash smash. Obviously, we all have different experiences, but generally speaking both tank and healer pretty much have to deliberately work against each other for agro to become a mess. If your healer is spamming their AoE heal when the dmg doesn't warrant it, you are likely being trolled. Boot this healer if they don't listen to reason.

Pre pull regen is also actually a good thing on bosses as tanks typically open with an enmity skill, and its auto attacks start getting up healed immediately and can spare them using a CD at the start when bosses just love to follow up an auto attack with a skill.

Furthermore, every healer has a threshold, and this is not set in stone. Some won't start healing until health is below 50%, others like to keep their party near full HP, especially if they don't know what's coming. Gauge how much it is actually a problem if they are over healing, and choose your battles. If putting up a fuss is counter-productive, then it might be best to just let it go.
