Debunking Cure 2

Simple Explanation

Cure 1 provides superior overall efficiency compared to Cure 2, when you consider the full picture.

✓ Cure 1 (The Smart Choice)

  • • 450 potency for only 400 MP (1.125 potency per MP)
  • • 1.5s cast time allows oGCD weaving
  • • 15% chance for FREE Cure 2 via Freecure
  • • Sustainable for long encounters
  • • Faster party member targeting

✗ Cure 2 (The MP Trap)

  • • 700 potency for wasteful 1000 MP (0.7 potency per MP)
  • • 2.0s cast time blocks oGCD usage
  • • No proc benefits or synergies
  • • Causes MP starvation in real content
  • • Slower response to damage spikes

Professional Tip: The 1-second window after Cure 1 casts allows you to weave essential oGCDs like Tetragrammaton, Benediction, or Assize. This creates healing combinations that far exceed Cure 2’s theoretical advantage.
