Unlike every other non-healing class, PGL mechanics are easily hijacked. Inner Release necessarily affects healing, as does Mantra. Fists of Earth/Wind can easily be used to affect new healing ability, offering instant stand-ins for burst healing ability and utility. Compared to every other existing class, you have a hell of a leg up: LNC, ARC, and MRD have absolutely nothing at all which affects healing or could be used; GLA has nothing but an MP-regen attack; and THM has a mechanic that could be hijacked but no ability slots to use with it (main issue would be putting AoE, burst heal, and swapping mechanics in at level 30 -- can make level 30 ability both baseline heal and heal nuke, but you'd need an entry into AF/UI state as well as some way to counter duration). There is no existing class remotely as suited to healing as Pugilist.
