First off, veradux is actually your dependant healer. He is not a damage dealer, if you use him for damage dealing you are stupid. The only thing worth any damage he does is hit electro bolt which is only useful for the buff removal.
Second, this game actually does give motivation to grind. In each zone I have found myself training 1 level to get some skill points so I can actually kill the boss.
And of course, 3rd. How can you say there is no motivation to train when you said you trained? Also I did find that focus regen for veradux comes from your inspiration move or whatever gives focus + str + more healing done. I usually put that on him then me if I need heals
