==Use==
===Scholar version===
Physick restores HP to a single target with no additional effects, providing MP efficient but unimpressive healing. At lower levels it provides the bulk of a Scholar's healing, but quickly falls off as they acquire more abilities that are either more powerful or provide useful secondary effects, in particular . At high levels Physick should only be used in rare occasions, such as if the target is already under the effect of , or in situations where the Scholar needs to preserve mana. Physick's 1.5 second cast time is also significantly shorter than the 2.5 second global cooldown (GCD), granting a short window in which to use an off global cooldown (oGCD) ability between spell casts, such as .
===Arcanist/Summoner version===
The Arcanist/Summoner version of Physick scales with Mind rather than Intelligence, their primary attribute, and once Summoners reach level 50 their equipment will stop providing Mind bonuses. Without these bonuses, the healing provided by Physick is pitiful compared to player HP pools. As such Physick is only useful to sub-level 50 Arcanists and Summoners with equipment that still provides Mind bonuses, allowing them to act as emergency backup healers.
===PvP===
Physick is available only to Scholars in PvP. Physick plays a more prominent role with the limited tools available in PvP, and is notable for having 0 MP cost. In addition, it now charges the player's Faerie Gauge by 10 whenever it is used in combat. has the same potency and cast time while providing an additional HP shield, but costs 1000 MP. As such, if your target already has Galvanize or MP is a concern, the 0 MP Physick should be used instead.
