Overcure Pretty Useless

[BlueDjinn]

I use it pretty regularly on fights when people stack, with the proc it costs less than medica and heals for nearly twice the ammount.

No, Cure III is useful. I use it whenever a group takes damage and needs the aoe heal, it's just the Overcure that's pointless. Cure III is already one of the spells that rarely gets used.

I'd say it's only useful when you need to long range cure said group, like in Ifrit Ex for example if you have searing wind. If EVERYBODY is tightly packed, just remember you're going to have another healer, so Medica/II + Succor or Medica/II will be enough to top everybody off, making Cure III just a waste of MP and a boost enmity from overcuring for you or the other healer (fitting it'd have a proc called "Overcure" huh?)

I see healers too reliant on Cure III during Titan HM/EM and they end up running out of MP quickly. I even stopped using it during Twintania unless it's the other group of people getting hit by Fireballs (but even then Medica/II + Succor will be more then enough) I feel the skill itself is too underwhelming to use for the high MP cost and the short target radius.

I stopped using it completely in T5. During fireball phase, I use Medica II as the fireball is going to land and that covers them for the next fireball too. And if someone is getting conflag, put regen on them and I don't have to worry about them dying from the dot. I only use Cure III for geocrush/earthen fury in Titan, and hellfire/third nail phase in Ifrit.
