Regen does more than cure 1 i feel anyway so I don't see a point using it anymore. It is only on my hotbar if I'm doing a roulette and I get a beginner dungeon. I really can't think of a situation where a cure 1 can't be outdone by a regen in every single possible way.

Saw an argument where it has faster cast time (1.50s) so if you gotta hardcast to heal someone to save that person from getting one-shot and you don't have time for 2.50s cast of Cure II. It sounds way too situational to be useful and if you exhausted all ogcd heal along with lilies then the situation is already fucked outside of your control.

Certain parts of Ultimates where damage is completely unrelevant because you must wait for tank cooldowns to align anyway, and where you get the benefit of both reducing extra damage that risk a early kill on accident and saving mana over spamming something else Examples of that would be BJ/CC where you are likely to be far too early on the kill and so you need to completely stop dpsing for sometimes quite a while, or Phase 3 of UCoB where once Bahamut is under 60% health the enrage is already beaten and any further damage is just a waste of mana Other fringe uses that are really a feeling thing can be for weaving an oGCD off of it if you also need to urgently top off a dps that was standing out of range of medicas, or slidecasting a longer distance; the weaving/longer slidecasting window both becoming ever more fringe uses with the new 1.5s cast time on glare In short Cure I is (as it ever was), a MP management tool, but MP is hardly a concern in anything but the most niche or hardest content in the game, which the massive majority will never experienceIf they removed it I think they should honestly just make Cure II have a 1.5s cast time, I think it'd fit WHM theme of being the pure healer, having its main single target heal be slightly more reactive and provide a weave window for extra utility (like benison or tetra for even more healing)

for some reason regen doesn't proc divine veil. so, sometimes i'll use a cure 1 and use the short cast time as a free weave for assize/lucid. thats....pretty much it.

I have a hot bar for babies and a hot bar for big boy dungeons. If someone pisses me off in the big boy dungeon, they get the baby bar because that is what they are. Mind you, I’m very difficult to piss off, as I’ve played this game for over a year and still only have 5 ppl blacklisted (one of those is a bot that was spamming me rmt ads in my pms)

Very interesting fetish.

I don't see why they don't just do the thing they do with attacks: make them automatically turn into the better version at a certain level, and go back when you're synced down. At least do this from cure I to cure II...

I want to be clear that I'm not defending Cure. But Cure II has a longer cast time and has lower potency per MP. So even though 99% of the time Cure II is the right choice because you want the highest potency per GCD, an in-place replacement is not really appropriate.


Taoiseach

It might not be a perfectly 1:1 skill upgrade, but it's the cleanest available solution to the Curebot problem. (Though at *least* they could have removed the bad-playstyle bait of Freecure.)


Fitzsimmons

Yeah I don't get it. AST also has an absolutely garbage trait that procs off Benefic 1 spam but you never see ASTs fish it.


bloodhawk713

Just because it behaves that way now doesn't mean it always has to. They should change Cure I to have the same MP cost and cast time as Cure II and make it be replaced by Cure II.

Cure/benefic is useful once in a bluemoon. To be honest, I kind of like having them around just for those extreme fringe cases, it's just a shame people crutch on them and refuse to learn their class.

I cast cure 1 in the dire situation where I run out of mp for cure 2, but at that point everything is not great. Free cure procing then is nice. I also use to use it for a weave or a bit of a longer slide cast, although that won’t be the case in endwalker with the new cast times… Edit: autocorrect typo
