So devs can you please for the love of god add a merc that is a healer or whatever that has cure curse cause idk whats even making a difference in mercs healing wise if they all have the same lump of heal skills and still no cure curse

    some mercs already have this spell...they just don't always cast it on time when we are cursed from mobs lol and end up getting debuffed so have to rebuff whenever it happens

    no or you won't need healerz anymore

    When mercs were introduced, healer mercs did have a Cure Curse spell.
    A couple years later, people started moaning that get them killed on fight with a "good" or do-not-cure Curse.... (mostly old - at the time - raids and a few heroics)
    In short, no Cure Curse for mercs = fewer messed up scripts. (Obviously, I would prefer a /toggle.)

    there are healer mercs in-game with this spell,just gotta yell at em to cure lol
  6. Ragna Well-Known Member

    Ok, then which one(s) still has it ?
  7. Mermut Well-Known Member

    Are you sure? I don't remember mercs ever having cure curse and I was playing when mercs were introduced.. I bought that 'expansion'.

    Oh yes I'm sure, without cure curse I wouldn't have been able to solo (or rather molo) SoH for my alts.
    Now, I mostly used Inq merc (Fp rat and then Skyshrine's Archon) both used to have Cure Curse but not anymore.

    I'm fairly sure as well that none of the mercs have ever had cure curse. I can't speak for the new set or the ones from PoP mercs, but the one at release didn't have cure curse.

    Zhug I think has cure curse...along with Grimor merc so any healer type merc will have it
  12. Mermut Well-Known Member

    Zhurgus does not have a curse curse unless they added it in the last month or so.
  13. Xianthia Well-Known Member

    Zhugrus Blightstrike doesn't have a cure curse.
  14. Xianthia Well-Known Member

    Heh, I casted mine before replying. As I mentioned in my earlier post, can't comment on the PoP ones, but prior ones haven't had a cure curse.

    Quoting you to state about Zhugrus, not for any particular reason other than that :D

    Personally, I would just like to see the priest's Cure Curse spell upgraded to include the entire group instead of being one person at a time. These days, it seems the curses are tossed on the entire group, yet the priest can only cure one person...namely, the tank, and the rest of the group has to suffer through it. Also, the insanely long 1 minute cool down, while the mobs are constantly tossing curses almost instantly after you cure it, is ridiculous and in serious need of an update as well. Even with 100% recovery speed, that's still an insanely long cool down at 30 seconds, when the mobs are recasting the curses almost as fast as you cure them. Single target cures are ancient and archaic, to say the least.

    True, I can still remember I was killed many times by the names in High Keep because mercs do not have curse cure..

    Mercs have never had, nor will they have in the foreseeable future, the cure curse spell. Mercs were never meant to completely replace having another player in your group. They were just meant to help out. They were also not meant for difficult content. Most curses are only in difficult content except for older content which has been made easier just naturally over time. When the mercenary feature was released, we intentionally did not give any mercs this spell and we do not intend to change that any time soon. Sorry! I get why you guys want it, but we just don't feel comfortable adding it.

    the mercs I use,have always been able to cure me...even when I am in loping plains and the wide zone buff that debuffs the player and removes our own buffs forcing us to re cast them every time it happens from it

    Good reasoning, understandable.

    So why is it that good aligned players have a deity spell (Embodiment of Truth, I think) that is a self curse cure?
