I'm raising my tanks right now and hoo boy 8/10 times I do a duty I get a White Mage that uses Medica 2 no matter what the healing situation is. If I'm at 5% HP, Medica 2. If I'm at 100% HP and so is everyone else, Medica 2. I understand it's a HoT and some healers use it during pulls so they can DPS more, but is it really worth it for that? Why not just put on a Regen? Medica 2 is 100 potency per HoT tic, and it tics 5 times, so 500 potency in total for the HoT. Regen is a total of 1,200 potency with 6 tics. The time spent casting a Medica 2 could just be spent casting a Cure 2 which gives 200 more potency than the Medica 2 and takes the same amount of time to cast. I'm purposely ignoring the initial 200 potency that Medica 2 gives, but if I didn't it would still be the same amount of potency as a Cure 2.
Is there something I'm missing about this skill? I feel like I'm going crazy from the amount of times I'm seeing Medica 2 being cast. Why is every healer I'm being matched with using it for big tank pulls where the focus is single target healing?
