The Bottom Feeders: Moves You Never Use and Why (Ver. 2)

[Februs]

I posted a similar thread over on the Tank forums, and I was surprised to find it was bringing in responses from both Healers and Dps. So, I figured I might as well post a duplicate thread in the Healer corner and see what happens.

The idea for this forum is:

• 1. To post moves that you never, rarely, or just not as frequently use.
  
  
• 2. Why you don’t use them often
  
  
• 3. and what might be done (if anything) to improve their usage (this could be anything from SE implemented changes, to Hotbar suggestions, or situational usages that other people may not have thought of).

Some things to note in advance:

just because you don’t use a move frequently does not mean that it is inherently “bad.” Benediction is not used nearly as often as Cure/Cure II, but it is one of the best moves in a Whm’s skillset. It’s just not frequently used.

The idea here is not only to list the “bad” moves that require SE’s intervention to “fix” (though you might, if there are moves that really require it). Any moves that you do not use regularly are fair game. The idea here is to help one another. If someone lists a move they don’t use a lot, it could be because the move sucks, or it could be that they are just under using it. At this point, experienced players should step up and list ways in which they might get greater use out of that move. To that end, do not be afraid to ask questions about moves you might feel you are not using to the best of their utility. Someone is bound to have some insight for you, if there is any insight to be had.

Also, “HAR HAR. GIT GUD!” Is not a helpful response and makes you look like an ass. If you don’t have something useful to contribute, then don’t.

I don’t know how useful a thread like this will be over here on the Healer forums, but I got some interesting responses from some of you in the Tank version, so I’m curious to see what you guys come up with.
