    Is a full heal every 180s really that strong? Hmm... Maybe just take out VerCure then... Or just make it a 500 potency heal every 60s. I actually want both Vercure and Verraise gone. And just let SE rework the utility part of RDM if they really want to push for it.

    A full heal would be really strong in group content, but not so much in solo situations.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)

    Vercure is a non-issue tbh. Every GCD spent casting Vercure is time and resources taken from offensive spells for less healing than a dedicated healer would give. Us pausing to heal someone while a healer is active is like the healer letting a DPS die so they could greed out a few more Malefics.
    Its primary value right now is in giving us a means to generate Dualcast when the target is unavailable; otherwise it's an innate damage loss just to use and doesn't justify any nerf for the value of utility.

    At least the instant Verraises are GCDs and resources saved from healers, so losing some value due to having it makes some sense. Still, I would prefer a system where we're largely only penalized for having it as often as we're using it, with a smaller (though still noticeable) base gap with BLM so we aren't pushed out of groups as soon as progression ends.
