I appreciate the advice on other posts, but a few things I was wondering about didn't look to be fully answered in either. The set you made for "easy/strong" may have capped potency and cast, but it has your enmity at -21 rather than the cap. If that is sufficient then I am good with it, but I was under the assumption that I would want to get that capped as well. Also, the bg page on fast cast is good, but between that and the various white mage resources I didn't see anywhere that really talked in detail about cure cast vs. fast cast, or anything that addressed merits counting toward that cap or not, just that eventually you want to switch away from curecast merits.
All of this said, I do appreciate that you responded with potential resources rather than the normal snark from most posters.
as anything in this game that narrows down to the situation.
and therr is argument for and against.
But in generel curing is you main function and you want to be effective at it.
emnity counts in for when/if the tanks dies or a hate reset. but again this is very less of the time compared to the time you are curing.
you laso have to relaise that strong cures = less mana wasted two fold
1: you get to use smaller cures for the same amount of healing
2: bigeer healing gets you a bigger "kickback" from emp pants.
The strong easy is should be rather easy to get with some friends and it also is a nice stopping points to focus on other thing.
improvement on the strong easy set is going to be a much harder compared to what it took to make that set so you kinda need that set to proceed on. unless you get absolutely carried all the way through to the BIS set
side note:
You can wait with reforging the emp gear on the strong/easy set
just abyssea +2 level already makes them strong/best in those slots
hope you can read despite the typos . im still at work
