#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Shurrikhan]

I'm not sure if I follow, Forsaken Roe. Cure II's potency is 800, which means I've increased the health of the target immediately.

Medica I heals for half (400). So, for 100 MP, I've put twice as much health on my target. That seems like a good deal and I'm not overhealing the party with an unnecessary AoE heal.

Now taking into account that I'm level 96, I can cast Medica III...

Medica III heals my target for 250 potency with an addition 175 potency over 15 seconds for a cost of 1000 MP. The total health restored being based on a potency of 425.

Once again, Cure II restores a lot more health for only an additional 100 MP without the worry of overhealing the rest of the party with an unneeded heal.

So, I'm not understanding your statement that Cure II heals less in single target situations. Can you please explain?

HoTs heal the stated periodic potency per 3 seconds, not in total. Divide the duration by 3 and multiply by the potency to get the total healing done over time.

M3 therefore heals for 1125 potency in total per target. 250+(175x5).

Or, up to 9000 potency total across an 8-man party.

(Now, compare that AoE strength relative to ST heals here against their strength in, say, WoW, and you see why spammable AoE heals there aren't spammed even if there were both damage enough [an absurdity here] and MP enough [an actual limitation there].)

Also as previously mentioned somewhere, the stat scaling if piety itself is aslo pretty bad. For this expansion, it changes every 18 to 19 points. Basically not wven getting 180 extra piety gives 10 more mp per tick and the other mentions of mp regen and matters of preserving are much more efficient.

Roe means the overall heal. Medica 3 dot heals for 15 seconds for 5 ticks. This is a total of 875 potency. Add the 250 and you get 1125 potency. Sure it takes 12 seconds for it to pass cure 2 potency but it is overall stronger on a mp per heal basis.

HoT spells are the game's biggest beginner healer trap, alongside cure 1 and spamming it for the sake of triggering the secondary effect.

The usage of HoT spells is extremely niche and very limited also highly inefficient. You can sniff out a beginner healer by their usage of those, lol.

Can't wait to see the new 'JP no cast times' BLM rotation of something like F3, Paradox, Thunder, Despair, Transpose, Paradox, Thunder, Transpose, Paradox (and from there it loops, throwing in Xenoglossy in Ice phase whenever it's up) etc

I'm so going to try this out in a Trust.

I disagree.

I disagree. HoTs are great when you know you won't be taking more damage for a while, which is often.

Provide high-end instances where medica 2/3 is a better option than Afflatus Rapture is for example.

There is no reason not to do Rapture considering it's a DPS gain overall with a 20s replenish.

Care to elaborate why you feel HoTs are overrated, Kohashi?

Sure. because there are better spells that achieve better results. The only instance where Medica 2, regen, and Cure 2 are valuable is in low-level dungeons. Otherwise, there is very little incentive to use them.

Another example is Physis 2 where what you want is not necessarily the HOT but the 10% extra heal which not only strengthens your shield but makes subsequent spells heal more when you have a timeframe where you take repeated raidwides. (like intermission into multiple strong hits in phase 2 of m4s).

Hello World from TOP, A fait bit of Ucob, the second boss in mount rokkan criterion savage, the start of the eye phase from Dsr, tea soft enrage before perfect alex. Thrte still a few parts where its more useful than rapture.

Yeah, there is a point here for the reference frame of Normal difficulty dungeons. The Afflatus spells take priority over Regen and Medica 2 / 3. As well as Asylum and Temperance. By the time I am used up on the Afflatus spells, Tetragramaton and Divine Benison, usually no damage is happening with a break period and the tank is fine with their own cooldowns. The only time I typically used Regen is before a pull starts during Endwalker's end times of 4 man Expert.
