    Instant 700 Potency cure for 0 MP on one minute cooldown.

    Uses:
    -"O S---! THAT (insert DPS) STOOD IN BAD!" *Heals instantly*
    -"Well, I can DPS a bit longer, then drop Clerics, give a Regen, oGCD pop Tetragrammaton, then keep DPSing afterwards"
    -"Well, my healing partner is dead and I need to be able to heal the tank!" *Pops Swiftcast + Raise on healer, then pop Tetragrammaton on tank during GCD cooldown*
    -"My tank is about 50% HP and currently has infirmity / malady! I give no craps!" *Pops Tetragrammaton*

    It's a small but wondrous utility and just adds another layer of healing that a WHM can employ to suit a party and/or circumstance. While Cure II can certainly be better, why look a gift horse in the mouth when you can basically say "Here's a free slightly more powerful Cure II that casts instantly!"

    Ghishlain sums it up very well. I wanted Tetra to be before level 60 so I could use it sooner -- it's one of the nicer abilities.

    Even if you're on top of things -- you have a Cure II landing right as a big tankbuster hits... combine that cure II with tetra and that's 10k+ HP restored faster than the health bars can update.

    Also, casting regen means no one gets a cure for 5 seconds (well, 5.5ish if you count animation delay). Among all the other things mentioned, Tetra can cover that gap any time it's up.

    I would say that this applies to most job... Level 60 skills don't seem to be quite the culmination that getting our level 50 skills were; for most jobs, it's more like just one more tool in the kit than an ultimate ability. But Tetra, simple as it is, doesn't want for utility.
