Medica.

[Twilite]

I really find this spell to be weak and unreliable and often find myself leaning on cure IIs when there is party wide damage..

For example if we all take about 4k damage, medica is only going to do 1.2k forcing me to use it twice. In those situations where boss will troll us and do another party wide attack, ok, we're all near death.

I try to compensate by using DS, or DS+Medica II(mostly for regen because Medica II is even weaker than medica -.-)

I guess my complaint is, except for Cure III(relies on ideal positioning of players/luck) aoe healing in a pinch is bit weak. It's good for "fluff" aoe damage but heavy constant damage, it's terrible.

No matter how I try to look at it, I fail to understand the "weak" part you're mentionning about medica.

Poor MP managment. 2 Medica's will top people off in less mp, than 4 Cure2's.

[Twilite]

While that's true I rarely run out of MP.

Although today I seem to be having a pretty bad day. Perhaps I will try using it a bit more I guess.

1. Medica has a half-cost proc
2. If your team is stacked, consider using Cure III instead. But if you have time, cure III is not necessarily the best option.
3. Medica II does not have a half cost proc, but if you have time to let the HoT actually work, it's ridiculously efficient
4. For the love of the twelve, if you're going to spam cures, do it with Cure I, not Cure II.

Aoe spells are our highest potency spells a 300 potency medica is 2400 potency in 8 man content.

Medica does not seem weak to me, but I have to admit that usually I prefer Medica II and Cure when necessary... Unless it happens on trash in which case I might use Medica instead to save my tank headache.

That's what DS is for. Medica does the trick on its own for bars that are about 2/3s of the way full. For 50%> hits, you'll want DS (and/ or, if it isn't already up, Medica II.)

If it healed any more on its own, it'd be too OP IMO.

And to be honest, when it comes to bosses that have high-damage party-wide attacks, you'll always want some form of Regen/ MII on the party anyway. My rotation tends to be DS -> Medica II -> Regen on tank (depending on the damage they're taking) -> Keep everyone topped with Cure/ Cure II -> Medica + DS during AoE attacks.

And another Medica when everyone starts hitting 70 - 80% if you're one of the overheal types.

4. For the love of the twelve, if you're going to spam cures, do it with Cure I, not Cure II.

Good advice... if you're fortunate enough to be paired with DPS who don't have a death wish.

WHM has the best AOE healing in the game, period. If you think WHM AOE healing is weak, you're going to hate SCH and AST.

[Twilite]

I'm hating a lot of things right now.
