Cure III AoE... rather small?

[Diexna]

Hi, so, anyone else feel that the AoE effect on Cure III is... way too small?

When I first saw the spell description in my action list, I figured "Oh neat, it's like an AoE heal specifically for the guys in melee range!"

So obviously, that's what I tried to use it for.

Except it turns out unless people are literally standing on top of each others, it'll only hit one of them. I never end up using it because I always miss my intended targets! Moment they start moving they might as well be out of range.

Couldn't it be bumped up to at least 6y range instead of 4y on the AoE?

Yeah, i used Cure III in ifirit hard mode, and really waste of time and MP. The AoE range seems a joke.

If it helps, I did use the search function.

It didn't come up with anything. <.<

Nah its situational as it should be, whm don't need yet another aoe tool over Sch. Besides when you get an overcure proc. You can swiftcast cure 3 which would be the highest reliable hp healing spell to heal the tank in emergency. Which is like instant 1.9k hp healing on tank.

But since yoshida hates "Situational" spells .They could just remove the spell and give whm a new spell with some more utility or make their job more interesting with a new mechanic.

Perhaps replace cure 3 with one of these
life grip(pulls targeted ally to you)
a ffxi like marytr spell(sacrifice hp to heal target)
a dmg spell that produces a minor aoe heal near the target which could serve a somewhat similar purpose to cure 3

It's a very niche ability right now. The only times I have used it really are for emergency healing on Cadeceus and Turn 4 in Coil. The tank damage on these fights is pretty crazy, though it's not worth casting unless you get an Overcure proc obviously.

I want that life grip right now. The mechanic is already in the game (Lap from the Nix frogs) so it should be fairly easy to rename and give it to us.
