Vercure is a useful strategic tool to prep dualcast while the boss is away; it's the only spell RDM can target a non enemy with. Turning it into an ogcd ruins this advantage it gives almost to the point RDM might not even have it.

As cost for vercure, RDM has no defensive buffs. We have no Titan, as unused as he is; we have no manawall. Our survivability is strictly reactive and costs us damage uptime on a job that has no DoTs, so when it's not actively attacking the boss it's doing no damage whatsoever. Vercure usage is it's own tax. You're never going to have people going "I could take BLM but what if both healers die and I need to vercure spam the tanks?" The way you would "I could BLM but what if we need verraise?"
Most of your post is much more productive than your last one. I agree with what you said, but I think the specific concern for developers isn't self-healing but the ability to heal others.

Your first sentence is still taking me out of context. Here's a quote from me:
"It's almost entirely useless in Savage, but it's game-changing in content like Eureka and dungeons. The developers will never let this go, even if someone like me who mentions it in an online forum thinks it's stupid for Savage and hurting RDM's balance. If you don't want to be taxed for it, convince them to take it away from you. It's really, really powerful in casual content and the devs obviously care a ton about that."

There are multiple other times I have said I think this is a developer issue, as well as multiple times I have said I don't think it should matter in Savage. The only, only reason I have bothered discussing vercure this much is exactly because I'm worried the developers care too much about it and I have been trying to share why I think they care. I have said this multiple times. I have also said multiple times that I personally do not care if vercure is taxed at all and don't think it needs to be, and that balancing casual content against Savage is not something I believe in. I also edited my original post a while ago (and announced in a new post that I made the edit) that I hope the developers learn to stop caring about it. All of this before you posted. If you didn't read the entirety of my posts, that is not my fault.
