Which means one thing: If you're put into a situation where you need to vercure in order to clear, the party is massively failing the content. Utility that depends on your party not doing their job should not be weighed in the balance of the class. By the same token, verraise has the same issue. it costs 300 potency for something the healer would lose less damage to do, and is something that only becomes useful when the party is failing...
All of this. Another reason why Clemency was not used even though it was a strong heal, unless it was in a fight's downtime. People really have a hard time understanding this concept.
