White Mage using Physick? O.o

[Yonko]

My brother was doing the opposite: SCH curing. Maybe he's leveled a WHM and I didn't know it!

Physick doesn't proc anything for a SCH so your only wasting a cross class skill in that case.

Wow... if these people need freecure procs for such a mind numbing dungeon then there is no hope... no hope at all.

If this guy did it in coil, however...

The only time I use Physick is when I'm a BLM, because I couldn't "borrow" Cure after going from THM to BLM. I remember dropping into a dungeon and going "Where's my Cure?!?!!" That was when I figured it out. Too late, because I was with a not so great healer who was too busy casting Stone to keep cast Medica when the time was right. Pulled Physick from the ARC immediately after the fight. Can't see why one would use it unless the level set was so low you wouldn't get your freebie from Cure.

Right. When I asked him about why he was using it instead of physick, his response was, "Keeping the tank alive." I think he thought Cure was better lol.

It's a waste of a cross-class slot, but there isn't too much harm in the SCH slotting in cure. Especially if the SCH is young and doesn't have all the cross-class abilities from CNJ and THM yet.

As for the WHM, cure is better than physick only if you have cure2. Low-level dungeons below brayflox will let you use either physick or cure equally well. It is a misuse of a cross-class from a min/max perspective, but it isn't liable to cause a wipe in those dungeons. Higher level dungeons may be another issue, but if the WHM has mp issues, you at least know what to fix. Personally though, whenever physick is cast, I am always reminded that the animation requires a book. Grasping a staff like that just makes me want to put on a mask and scream ham.

i've always felt physic has a shorter animation recovery time than cure

...
Is there some sort of benefit to it? Isn't it the same as Cure minus the chance for a free Cure II?

No benefit, probably just for making fun, like ppl dancing in battles... ^^;

So you mean when people use Physick instead of Cure in such a dungeon it's because they think "I'm so great, I don't need Freecure at all and I don't even want it and everyone who uses it here is a noob"? Kinda sounds like that. oO

Then what does it mean that I still use Freecure when I need a Cure II and it pops? Oh my ... but well, I'm only ilvl 80 yet.

I'd always use other cross class skills instead of something like Physick. Even in low-level dungeons. Don't know why I shouldn't ...
I get it if someone uses it for fun though, when he knows that it'll be enough. I still think it's a waste. ^^'

At 50 you really do have a free slot that isn't being used as a WHM. Right now I have Virus/Eye for an Eye/Swiftcast/Surecast/blizzard 2. I have no need for blizzard 2 it does nothing to improve my healing/utility. Not saying physick would be you do have a spare cross class slot as a WHM.

I'm sorry, but this is false. Blizzard 2 has 8 sec bind. It's very useful in critical situation, in certain dungeons.
