Benediction

[Keftenk]

Anyone else really frustrated with the range of the skill? It's almost as if you have to be literally standing next to them to have it hit them. The radius seems very poor

[Asiaine]

Yes,

I had originally thought there was no range (anyone in party anywhere). Then maybe, okey, they have to be in the same 'area' (I can see what their actual HP is).

But if I have to be so near them, I might as well just doublecast curaga.

[DeadRiser]

Why would you doublecast curaga? You can't equally heal everyone with that plus the amount of hate you get.

Benediction is really and "oh sh*t" spell. It's really useful on Ifrit after Hellfire if enough people are close to you.

[Razorboi82]

Not disappointed, Just surprised. We were more like "OH MAN! IT DIDN'T REACH EVERYONE!" after that, we started clumping together at certain times. Its not a bad spell at all. Its especially useful after hellfire.

But that's the catch..."IF" they are close enough. DD are never close enough to me in the Ifrit fight (I'm on Jeff and they are other side) so it's a waste to think of using it there. I have some luck with the Moogles, but it's a scramble to run to where I think I'll hit the most people. Most of the time it misses so many I feel like it was seconds wasted I could have done something else. But I keep working with it. I like the spell; I just wish it had a better range. It's not really an "oh sh*t button" if I can't count on it.

I can cast Curaga on someone far away, so I do not need to be near them to do it (as is the case with Benediction).

Yes its very small >.< Also not to complain/whine (sorry ;~ but it doesn't cure status effects either. >.>;

I always just use it when things get really bad and try to stand close as possible lol
