I'm not even sure how folks are able to find the time to spam Recuperate. I hardly get that opportunity lol. If I do get it though I usually die on the 3rd spam with the additional help from server ticks desperately trying to avoid being nuked by 3 people...you're actually lucky to be able to spam.

Enough of me though. By asking for Recuperate to be removed you're essentially forcing people to have a near complete reliance on healers. Raising the HP bar may work at a lower level. However, at a higher level it won't matter. If folks know how to burst on the other side you're dead anyway.

Compared to playing offensively you're already get a low reward for playing defensively. 90% guard, and it can be pierced, broken, or even negated entirely. You have Purify, and it doesn't even have the highest priority. How much lower you want the general defense to go?
