Cure III

Why do we even have this?!

Medica
Medica II > Cure III
Asylum

How situational can a spell really be? I feel like taking off my action bar I don't even care about the proc.

Titan. And any time you need to quickly heal people in a stack.

Cure III is rarely used but there are some instances you will want the huge AoE burst heal to top everyone off. Yes it has a short range but if everyone is stacked and you use cure III it's better then using medica II. An example is bismark extreme or titan extreme where the group stacks up, if you time cure III you will fully heal EVERYONE basically making their ultimates do nothing to anyone's health. It's very situational and I would recommend keeping it on your bar.

There are specific instances where a Cure III comes in handy. Titan and even at times Ifrit Ex are examples.

Cure III is situational, but nothing does the job better when you must immediately and hugely heal a stacked group (sadly this means that it is rarely necessary outside of raid content).

I use Cure III fairly often. When it's on proc, if there's more than 2 people in range it's worth the MP cost. So if you're doing a dungeon with 2 melee, I'll throw my Cure III out on the tank and it'll (usually, because loldatrange) hit the DPS too (melee and AoEs are like cats and dogs. QwQ).

It also has its uses in EX primals; Titan and Garuda being the biggest two that I know. I use it in t13 (when the party is stacked middle for divebombs). And I've used it in BisEX (when he has that part where you're supposed to stand middle to avoid the wind, sometimes adds are up and they AoE and people get hit by it. Since everyone is already stacked so closely, I can get away with using it and actually having it hit everyone 90% of the time).

But, yes, Cure III is very underused. I think its range needs to be increased. I want to be able to cast it on the tank in front of the boss and have it actually hit the melee DPS on the rear and flank. It's fine for small bosses like Laha in Prae, but on basically any other boss, it will rarely hit anyone else.

Wait till alex before u take it off ur bar.
U'll be like y damage so much my HoTs don't have enough time to top ppl off what do. Ppl reply
< cure 3> < please use it> in auto translate.
Even if the new combo feels better than cure 3 you still should find times on when to use it.

[AldoVonAlexandros]

Don't use it if u think is crap, we whm will keep using it because we know why we haveit

Cure III was usefull during T13 (without echo and desynch, of course) during Ark Morn with both MT & OT.

It's still usefull for up the party quickly. The WHM from my static use it on ravana EX when MT and OT take both damage and need to be full hp quickly.

And you can have a Cure III for less than 50% mana cost, that cost less than a Cure II (pre 3.0, don't know if it's still the case).

As most ppl mentioned before: yes it is very very situational. but in this certain situations it is just unparalleled. just keep trying and you will learn to read these circumstances when it comes to shine.
