full HP as soon as possible, you will generally prefer Benefic II. But a tank
with 50% HP and a mage with 50% HP are two very different things because they
have very different HP pool. So using Benefic I for a mage might be more than enough.
It leads us to a very interesting thing: experimenting with our skills. Just try
to use Benefic II on as low HP as you (and tank) are comfortable. For example, I
found that during active movement and mechanics avoidance phases (also referred
as "dancing") on Susano Extreme Benefic I is more than enough despite the fact
that lightning damage is more than 50% of DPS' HP.
