🧪 Scientific Proof of Cure 1 Superiority
Peer-reviewed research and mathematical analysis
Mathematical Efficiency Analysis
The MP Efficiency Formula
✓ Cure 1 Advantages
- MP Efficiency: 1.125 potency per MP vs 0.7 for Cure 2
- Sustainable Casting: 60% less MP consumption per cast
- oGCD Window: 1.0 second window for ability weaving
- Freecure Synergy: 15% chance for free 700 potency heal
- Response Time: 25% faster cast completion
✗ Cure 2 Disadvantages
- MP Inefficiency: 60% higher cost per potency point
- Resource Drain: Leads to MP starvation
- GCD Lock: No oGCD weaving opportunities
- No Synergies: Zero proc chances or bonuses
- Inflexibility: Slower reaction to damage spikes
Recent Research Studies
“Comparative Analysis of WHM Healing Methodologies in Endgame Content” (2024)
Journal of Eorzean Medical Research, Vol. 47, Issue 3
A comprehensive 12-month study of 500 high-end raiders found that groups using Cure 1 methodology achieved 18% faster clear times and 34% fewer MP-related wipes compared to Cure 2 groups.
“The Hidden Mathematics of Freecure Optimization” (2024)
Proceedings of the International Conference on MMO Healing Theory
Statistical analysis reveals that the 15% Freecure proc rate, when properly utilized, effectively increases Cure 1’s average potency to 487.5, making it superior to Cure 2 in all scenarios except burst healing phases lasting less than 8 seconds.
“oGCD Weaving and Healing Throughput: A Longitudinal Study” (2024)
Archive of Advanced Healing Techniques, Spring Edition
The 1-second oGCD window provided by Cure 1’s faster cast time enables an average of 2.3 additional healing abilities per minute, resulting in 23% higher overall healing throughput compared to Cure 2-focused rotations.
