As it stands, it's literally the worst healing spell any healer has in the game. If they wanted to keep it fairy themed, perhaps something like "15% chance to to convert your fairy's next Embrace to Seraphic Veil" might be in line.
    Does it really matter if Cure is technically the best of those three heals if you never actually cast Cure outside of the worst possible situations, and even then only with gritted teeth? Let's be honest, a WHM using Cure excessively is either playing pretty low-level content, or doing something wrong...
    There isn't much incentive for a WHM to use Cure, but if there is for a SCH, why not.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that's not the case either...but at least there's some silver lining if you get in that situation (or if you're playing low level content). Conversely, for SCH it's just like "well this sucks on all fronts."

    Remember, as well, this was in reply to somebody who was suggesting damage occurring regularly enough to make Physick justifiable in higher level content...that would likely apply to Cure eventually as well in the same regard. I was saying "just that isn't enough to really make it good, though."
