Many whitemages I have PTed with, before discussing this with me never used Cure 5... incedentally, they didn't know 1 important fact.
Cure 5 adds NO HATE. Not a little bit. None. You can cast cure 5 on a puller who had missed his attack and do a 500+ pnt heal on him, and it won't steal hate.
It also, if used on someone with enough damage, is the most MP efficient cure in the game. So please stop spamming Cure 4, you really don't have to.
level 63+, spread the word... Cure 5, no hate. Far too many whitemages are completely ignorant of this fact.
 
cool`

ooh, that is a cool tip considering im a pld ^_^ i cant wait til i can scream at the whm to use Cure 5 ^_^ lol jk
 
it just doesnt give it. at all. its a good idea. But it costs so damn much to use that its not exactly worth spaming
 
Nothing is no-hate. Cure 5, however, is about the smallest ammount of hate you can generate, excluding just standing there.
 
I didn't say spam it but... like I said it's the most efficient heal. I don't remember the exact number, but to be more efficient than cure 4, you only have to cure 500ish something damage. Let's say your tank has 1200 HPs and the strongest attack the mob has is for 300 damage. I think the curing strategy lends itself.

As for if it generates a minute amount of hate or none at all, all I will say is that it generates enough that if it's all you ever casted, and the rest of your PT dies, the mob will come after you. The same has as if... you did nothing and it aggroed you after.
 
/wave Fire :wink:

davio posting and not pwning final farming? good god whats going on :roll: :lol:
 
Yes more people need to realize this.

Cure 4 = teh devil. This is a spell MEANT for paladins. It is the highest lvl cure a pally gets and it is the MOST HATE a whm can cause. Cure 4 can turn a mob off a satavb'd paladin with ease. Cure5 wont.

In HNM and beyond you will be asked to PRETEND YOU DONT HAVE CURE 4. Cure 3 and 5 are your only tools. Four will make that big ugly angry nasty monster bite your head off in one doubleattacked strike. I know whm's who have died multiple times and susequently been kicked out of hnm shells altogether cuz they wont let go of cure 4.

Don't be that guy o_o;
 
CureV is, 6xx hp right?

you dont always want to use cureV

your pld could take a leathal fang rush if he is missing 600~ hp
 
I will explain it better. /wave firestreak.

Cure I ~ IV will generate hate equal to the amount of HP you cure. Hence CureIV generates most hate, even more combined with divine seal.

How ever CureV has a different factor. The CureV's hate won't increase depending on how much you heal if not its hate is the same as a cureIII. Its a static hate and will never increase nor decrease. This is what makes cureV a very nice spell. It uses 125? 135? MP I forgot but it cures 680ish hp with a mare CureIII hate. Instead of spamming CureIV which is double the CureIII's hate. Spamming this will in the end get the mob's attention.
