Arcanist Curative Surge

Tonturri

This skill has slightly broader area coverage than the DPS beam - it's 22 x 4 compared to 22 x 3 for the damaging beam., and yet it seems to have a MUCH shorter range. Has anyone else noticed this? I can see the damaging beam hit targets from quite far away, but for the healing beam I have to almost run right up to someone to hit 'em with it, like it doesn't seem to have any actual range at all - almost a melee heal. I don't recall if it is also the base skill or the morphs.

I'm also having no luck with Recuperative Treatise - it doesn't seem to generate Crux at all, even if I enter combat with a light attack poke, then use a class skill while I have zero crux.
