We are in need of a official response to the healer situation

[Kabooa]

I ran Hullbreaker Isle today on WHM and went through the entire second boss without casting a single heal spell. Not one. Not even regen. I was forced to spam Stone and Aero because there was literally nothing to heal.

That’s longer than 90 seconds.

I'm not saying you're lying, but I am saying you don't have proof. Some have made the same claim you have, but when empirical evidence is available, it's shown otherwise.

And that's partially where I'm having issues here. Why do some (not you specifically) of you exaggerate your own performance? Does admitting that you do use a GCD to heal make you less of a player?

Using specifically the Afflatus skill line, the only thing that could improve it is giving it a weaker-than-Glare single target "Black Lily" version, but even if that were not given, there's still plenty of areas where GCD healing occurs that you could utilize Afflatus spells and not "lose damage" because you needed to GCD heal anyways.
