Physick is too weak for lvl 60 casters?

[Sunako]

Do anybody else have that feeling Physick have so horrible scaling at lvl 60? In lvl 50 it healed like 10% your max hp, but now it heal only 5% max hp. Yah I know you should not need use it in most of content, but still.. Especially in pvp it make huge impact if there is not healers around.

Yeah, i don't even bother to use it anymore at 60, i figure i'll have a better chance of surviving if i keep attacking rather than if i stop to cast physick.

Commanders set help little also, but then you lose crit/det/ss. Dunno it is worth it.

[ajx]

Agreed. It used to heal around 12- 15% of total hp for a level 50 caster at 2.0. Around 8% at the end of 2.5.

Now it heals for hardly 4% and is bound to decrease every patch. Would make one more cross class skill useless especially when solo.

You are a caster, a DD, you are not supposed to heal yourself!
Let us healers do our job, and focus on your job, then we won't need more "Should healers DPS?" threads.

try it with crafted gear, ovemelded with mind materias. Also move all the given stat points from int to mind. And eat mind buff food. Forget int, foget dmg, you will be here to heal ^^

The problem is that mind on casters don't increase with the same speed as the HP of all the jobs. So you have to push the mind yourself.
Or ask SE for a DoM universally gear set that heales and casters can wear, with int and mind on it (like the pre 50 gears).

Makes sense to me. You have twice as much hp as you did at level 50 while maintaining the same amount of mind. Your hp scaled while your heals haven't.

I remember farting around with it on SMN a while back and it responded well to throwing on some MND based accessories...on the order of nearly a 50% bump on the heals. Unfortunately this game is not geared towards the gear swapping like it's predecessor.

Perhaps the floor for MND is too low so you are fighting the diminishing returns thing...who knows.

If you did not know materias do not have any effect in pvp.

With respect, you've missed the point. OP and other casters want to be able to heal themselves (or their pets) outside of dungeons, or in PvP if the healer is down.
I think with SMN especially theyve realy broken physick. Its already kinda weak for a SCH (compared to WHM) so even more useless for their pet. Sustain isnt always enough.
