SE the majority of healers want damage abilities

[whiskeybravo]

Makes sense, from strictly an optimal DPS GCD perspective in a scenario where healing is not required. Another perspective I have is Misery makes up for the three GCDs you just spent on healing. Obviously, we are going to still use GCDs for damage if healing isn't needed. However, if GCDs must be spent on healing, Solace and Rapture are your go-to's before resorting to Cure 2 and Medica. The scenario you provided is also ST, and Misery is AoE. We can't just look at savage when it comes to the effectiveness of abilities.

Haha, when my healers told me it was a loss I said "but you can't use EVERY gcd on attack spells" to which they both replied "actually yes you can"

So I gave up lol
