Why don't Paladins have any unique "Cures"

[Brightshadow]

I think Paladins should get some new spells especially some "cures" because it's very sad for these holy warriors to not have any unique "cures" except tier 1 cure from conjurer, while pure dps classes like summoner get physick and a trait to improve the spell and black mages that shouldn't even have the ability to heal are capable of healing much better than a paladin due to their magical attributes, so I think Paladins should get some reliable unique cures that would mostly be to assist with their tanking.

1.) Radiance
-Recovers the target health. Healing Potency: 300 Addition Effect: Enmity Regen (On Caster)
-Gradually Increases Enmity overtime / Duration: 8 Seconds
-Decent MP Cost (Comparable to Cure II)
-Recast: 15 Seconds
-Attribute Focus: VIT

2.) Radiance II
-Recovers the target health. Healing Potency: 600 Addition Effect: Enmity Regen (On Caster)
-Gradually Increases Enmity overtime / Duration: 16 Seconds
-High MP Cost (Comparable to Adloquium)
-Recast: 15 Seconds
-Attribute Focus: VIT

The "Enmity Regen" mechanic is the same as what regen does when healing overtime but without the healing overtime effect. The reason for the enmity regen, high MP cost, and decent recast time is to prevent them from main healing. While providing a new tool for tanking, or as a backup heal.

I love how you just give this skill everything. It heals and even adds regen, increases enmity and all of this on such low recast time. You can basically just spam it.

No you cannot because Paladins do not have the MP for that, and the MP cost is very high, the regen is also very low potency.

White Mage gets 50 potency from Medica II

and 150 from regen

But I did increase the recast to 10 seconds to not make flash useless.

if the Attribute Focus is mind then you can Forget it, that is one of the reason why cure doesn't work for us.

Your right MND would just make the spell useless so I increased the recast to 15 second on both spells so they cannot be spammed, the regen was removed and I changed the attribute focus and the potency of Radiance II.

Mind is about 5% of the reason cures don't work for paladins. The majority of the healing potency comes from the magical damage on the weapon. Swords have 0 magical damage therefore they get the base potency.

Not zero. It just doesn't display in the game. If you look it up on xivdb, you can see the actual scores.

Kind of like 1.x where PLDs can proc a Divine Regen which also boosted enmity as well as the original succor, which is what actually made PLD a PLD.

But 1.x was actually going in a unique direction, ARR is all about everyone being the same and lack of depth/simple gameplay.

I'd rather have an ability(oGCD) added when the LVL cap increases.

Anyone remember Holy Succor?
- Restores HP of target. When cast on another player, you also heal 50% of the amount restored.

We might see this come back and tweaked for ARR.

You mean back when people expected us to do part of the healer's job? No thanks.

PS: PLDs are not holy knights in this game. They're the bodyguards of the sultanate.
