Healing Magic Potency for non-healers

[Xyno]

I realy dont understand why healing skills were given to "not healers" as a cross skill. They are fully useless, because of the low MIND

So, your vote is remove them? They serve no purpose for a Caster, aren't part of those schools of magic, and are now too weak because of MND/hp scaling badly. PLD got a native heal anyway.

That's a perfectly valid perspective.

I think, that SE could gave something more useful as cross skill, not healing

I can get behind that. Current Caster choices are really just Raging Strikes, Virus(maybe), and Swiftcast. The rest is junk. If there were more effective skills, I wouldn't mind dropping Physick and could accept being completely helpless to heal myself.

The healer part of me that wants to stay in cleric more so I can throw out Holy and Gravity bombs wants to say that we need this, but that's also the part of me that's bitter over people being lazy and eating easily avoidable AOE's.

In reality, they will probably just remove these for cross class skills. The problem with buffing them too much is that it challenges the 3 role trinity. There's already a population of players that thinks DPS is outside the scope of healing. Letting other party members cure themselves just swings that meta to the opposite end of the pendalum. Could you imagine if every DPS class had a fulling functioning cure spell? "Oh, you died to Pyretic. Should have cured yourself, not my problem, I was too busy Stone 3-ing."

Sure PLD has Clemancy, but it's high MP costs also means that it can't be relied on to heal a dungeon with, it's only to be used in a pinch. The low potency effectively places the same limit on the spells and keeps the trinity in tact.

I know the argument can also be made that having a cure spell would help in solo content and POTD, but there are also have potions that are higher in level to restore more HP. That's the resource for those situations, rather than putting in something that has a far greater opportunity to be abused and cause problems with a group.
