Physics on Summoner is very weak, intended or just a bug?

[Enkidoh]

This was 'fixed' a year or two ago. Yes, the spell did used to be from Arcanist, but not any more. The spell was seperated out and the potencies different. This is because SMN is not intended to have healing ability beyond that of any other DPS role (second wind on mnk for example)

And yet in the old days (ARR pre-HW) Physick could heal quite well as SMN, as I still remember a Brayflox NM party I queued for as level 50 SMN back around 2013/2014 and, very quickly I realized if I was to have any chance of survival in this party I basically had to take over healing by spamming Physick with Ifrit-egi set on Stay as the actual healer in the party; a CNJ, was still very new and green and was sadly not very effective.

We somehow got through that run without disbanding (and I got all three commendations for it!), rather battered and bruised though, but it was doable. Alas now with the pegging of healing spells mostly to MND, it means SMN's Physick is guttered potency wise, so although I understand the reasons for the change, I miss the old style one where it could be a useful back up or last resort.
