Please don't Nerf Vercure

[Rawrz]

I think the problem here is that players keep getting told to use their ENTIRE toolkit, so they use every oGCD even when it's not called for or even detrimental. If you are a DPS, you do not use your self-healing skills on other players, and only on yourself if you can spare a GCD cast. No 4-man dungeon needs two healers instead of two DPS. If the healer dies due to trying to DPS'ing instead of healing, and you use your healing to finish the fight, then you're setting an expectation you're going to heal them. Don't do this. Last thing we need is a meta that RDM's are to heal while healers are DPS'ing.

RDM's get Vercure at level 54, while healers get their first Cure/Benefic at level 2 and Arcanist gets their Psysick at level 4. Vercure has a potency of 350 and a cast time of 2 seconds, recast 2.5. Cure/Benefic have a cast time of 2.5 seconds and a recast time of 2.5 seconds.

RDM also gets Verraise at 64. This makes it useless in all non-SB content. So you can't rely on RDM's raising party members.

I think Vercure should have been at level 4 or 8, while Verraise should have been at 16. That way they are at least at parity with Arcanist regardless of what dungeon they are dropped into.

At this point ixion is killing me and I'm unable to understand what all of this means in relation to a vercure Nerf. I just wanted to tell you that every single target heal in the game is 2 second cast time or less with recast of 2.5. Only some aoe heals eat the whole or more of a gcd.
