Please don't Nerf Vercure

[Rawrz]

350 is great where it is. Don't punish everyone because new players think they should heal a dungeon.

If there has to be nerfs to rdm it should be dps not utility. Nerfing jolt II to like 200 would be better. Causing players to really learn how to generate and spend their 270 procs.

SMNs wanted a heal closer to vercure and now vercure will suffer to become closer to useless physick.

Please SE. Let me have my 350 potency, 600 MP heal.

They are not nerfing it because red mage is a combination of white and black magic.

They'll Nerf it to 250. About guarantee it. What other magical adjustments would they do?

[LunaFaye]

There's no reason to nerf anything, why would you nerf the dps output from RDM's just to keep vercure the way it is? That wouldn't even make any sense.

It's more like a 700 potency cure due to the dual cast. Which is a bit strong for a non healer.

Why do people say that? Stone III is 500 potency. It costs the same amount of gcds. Just because it's getting front loaded doesn't mean it does more.

That is factually incorrect. Not just for vercure, but please stop thinking of dualcast like it removes the gcd time, you just get the effect early; your next gcd takes effect a full 2 gcds worth of time later.

Which for an emergency heal is quite important wouldn't you say?

Besides oGCDs, as WHM, I can cast cure, and follow up with a "dual cast" Regen right after, in hopes of a tick, before I can heal again, or to help land an oGCD.
I can also Cast Stone, and "dual cast" Aero" right after.
That doesnt automatically make WHM unfair, and able to land more cures/DPS solely because regen and aero are instant casts.
The only factor they help with, is movement heavy scenarios.

If a boss landed a tank buster, you only need to get the tank up enough to survive weak auto attacks.
Most healers tend to use oGCD burst heals because they are instant, not because the tank needs to be max HP.
But practicing the timming, to know when to land the cure after the cast bars, will do just as well. (As most savage groups do, when they have already blown their oGCD heals, to maintain DPSing. or are saving them for movement heavy moments.)

The only time a tank gets low, and you want to burst as much healing as possible, is when a tank isnt using CDs, is undergeared, and is trying to pull 2+ groups of mobs, reaching 5+ mobs.
(The auto attacks from mob groups hit harder than bosses do, and if the tank isnt over geared, or using CDs, tend to even do more dmg than tank busters.)

Using the dual cast vercure does not use a gcd. You use it during the ocd of the first vercure.
