In my time of playing, once Cure II or Benefic II is unlocked, it is absolutely obsolete and becomes even more worthless once Afflatus Solace and Essential Dignity comes into play, not to mention the fact that there is regularly a second healer which have instant heals that come off cooldown fairly quickly. Even in Ultimates and Criterion Savage they've never been needed and just take up valuable action slots, and trait slots due to Freecure and Enhanced Benefic.

The argument also applies to Physick and Diagnosis (not Eukrasian Diagnosis but because of how Sage works it would be harder to work around) as Scholar has Lustrate plus Dissipation and Sage has Druochole plus Rhizomata.

I apologise for the rant but I needed to say something as this has not been just a one off occurance, but something that has been happening since Shadowbringers, if not Stormblood.
I've always thought that Cure/Benefic should just upgrade to Cure II/Benefic II instead of being a separate ability. At the very least remove Freecure/Enhanced Benefic because it's just a noob trap.
