M-maybe they're just taking C-cure 3 out and r-r-replacing it with a newer, better skill, hahaha... R-right guys? Guys?

I mean, Cure III going away isn't a huge deal. It's best use-cases were incredibly niche and Medica I/II were usually more convenient to use due to greater AoE. It's the everything ITT + nothing neat to take it's place that make it sting a little. I wouldn't mind giving up one of my 32948291 ways to heal HP if it meant I got something useful and cool in exchange. Maybe like... a little utility! :P

Wasn't Cure 3 on the WHM hotbar from that preview video they did a while back? Or have they just removed it since then?

Its uses were niche, yes, but it was still incredibly useful and powerful in those moments. Even in PvP it's great if your team is grouped up and everyone gets blasted by an AoE LB. While I wouldn't mind if it got upgraded/changed/replaced with something a lot better and a lot more useful, if it just goes away and turns into NOTHING, then... I mean there's really no words for that. Just why.

so "Calm down" huh? someone wanna run the Heal numbers again? Without Cure 3 in there?

we thought so too....but it appears to be gone, from everything that we've seen from e3.

[BroodingFicus]

I thought for sure you guys must just be missing it... but then I looked and it does indeed appear to be missing.

Exactly. I was hoping the WHM population just had really bad eyes but nope.

Once we see a replacement that may actually be better or more useful, then we can say it's not a "huge deal". But if it's like what they've done with EVERY other ability they removed-yet-didn't-replace, then it's more than just a huge deal. It's downright ridiculous.

WOW, so they specifically showed Cure III in the WHM job video, but now they've removed it to screw WHM over even more??? LMAO, people really have gone way over the deep end of dramatic hyperbole.

[Yuyuka3]

I checked it, too, and couldn't find. Unless it really got moved to job actions, of which we only see the lower part... yeah. Gone.

Also, it actually is a big deal for me, because I used it whenever I needed a fast aoe heal bomb, e.g. in A11S. Sure, Med II got used more, but Cure III wasn't anywhere near useless, and it would be another huge blow to the class to loose the fastest non-instant group heal in the game, say what you want about that.

If "they didn't show the final build back then!" is a valid argument for all the apologists out there, it is for me, too, in this case.

[Metsonm]

There's no way they removed Cure III. We're all just missing it, surely. What possible reason would they have to remove it?

*made literally the exact same comment about Stoneskin*

[Cynfael]

We'll find out soon enough where everything falls. I'm sort of in a place where I'm blocking my eyes and ears and chanting "LALALALA" when it comes to further WHM speculation since we're going to be hands-on in another day or so.

Ok, someone on redit suggested that maybe it was moved to job quest to replace DS. It was level 40 in the media release video, so.... maybe it was just moved over to replace DS on that quest?
