Re: &lt;main&gt;&lt;heal&gt;

This is a great thread, and very informative. I will have to try this kind of role on BLU when I get my BLU to any level where I might be a useful main healer, just for shits and giggles. And I'll already have all of my RDM gear ready for use, (or in storage) so the extra cost won't be as great.

I do hate main healing as RDM, but seeing as main heal BLU is an unconventional way of playing, it might be fun.

That's really weird, I could've sworn that the range was even shorter before and that they increased it to make it even with white magic spells... I just went back and looked it up though, and it doesn't say whether they lowered or increased it, just: "The incorrect range for the blue magic spells “Wild Carrot” and “Magic Fruit” has been adjusted." (source) I just remember being annoyed at the short range on it before (something like 13.0... whatever the range on Blank Gaze is right now).

But anyway, you bring up a good point about the enmity from Magic Fruit. I totally forgot about the -enmity gear I usually have on WHM. I've always ignored -enmity on my gear, so I tend to forget it's even there. I think I usually have enmity-8 as WHM. I think it's kinda hard for me to judge the difference between the two spells anyway. With WHM, my only enmity is coming from the healing I do. With BLU, it's coming from all the damage I do, and without any -enmity gear, I already have plenty of hate. As such, it's not surprising to grab hate. With WHM, I almost never grab hate, because I simply don't have enough enmity built up to come anywhere close to taking hate with a Cure IV.

As for Healing Breeze, I'll take your word for it. I haven't used it since the low levels, and even then only a couple times, and in between battles so I wouldn't get a huge amount of hate.
