Make it so we can't start heals on people getting raised.

It annoys me so much that, during the animation where someone is getting raised, you can select him and start a cast without knowing if your heal will be directed on yourself in the end. Devs needs to change it so you get an error message just like when out of range when you're trying that rather than forcing us to guess the moment where you won't waste a heal on yourself trying to fill those low healths reborns.

I can't really tell when they're ready to receive heals. In two tank scenarios, if one goes down, I've thought, "Swiftcast + Raise" on a tank, Benediction, they Provoke, ready to go. Nope. I targeted the tank too early and though he was my target, Benediction healed myself instead... who was at full HP. The joy has been mine on several occasions T_T

I've done this more times than I'd care to think of on tank and dps alike.

Just use Medica as soon as they begin the raise animation and it will cure them of the rez sickness debuff along with giving them a bit of HP. By the time you're done with that they should be up and able to be clicked on for a full heal.

First off, that's a very costly method of healing a single person.

Second, I believe the removal of the rez sickness is a bug so I wouldn't grow to comfortable with that method since it'll get fixed and may be considered an exploit.

Yea, I have plenty of mana (and natural mana regen) for an insta rez - medica - cure - protect - and back to healing.

You have Ifrit's Cane and almost full AF gear on, wait until you get to the hard stuff.
Garuda and Titan will not be so forgiving of wasteful mana. I agree that in many cases any mana issues I would have are because the team sucks but as the Healer it's still my job to carry them through...and in those cases that costs mana, and a lot of it.
If you have a decent team your mana should be no problem at all if you manage it well, but since you disregarded the part about exploits(or bugs) I guess there's no point in arguing that point further.
