Healing Direction - is the current design balanced?

[NoctisUmbra]

OP you do realize that the growth curve for HP was changed with 1.19 so that players have much lower HP at lower levels than before, and the rate at which you gain HP per level really picks up after level 35? They're doing the same thing with MP with his patch.

Players under 35 won't have so much HP that you need a variety of healing spells - especially when you have one that scales based on your level. Even then you get Cura, which will essentially be the new Cure III, at level 30.

It's one thing to ask for variety, but in this case you're asking for variety just for the sake of variety. You don't need 2-3 different healing spells just 'cause when one of them will get the job done effectively.

As for other classes subbing Cure - that much is expected by design of the armory system. Most of class uniqueness will come as you gain higher levels because by that time you will gain more exclusive skills and amass more traits - which directly push your class in it's unique direction.
