To healers enjoying 5.0: a gil for your thoughts?

[Muziko]

I suppose I am in a vocal minority of SCH that my dps was always secondary to me. More than once I main healed while my co-healer dps'ed. I did it mind you but never made it more important than keeping people on their feet. That said I think one of the features that I miss is having an aetherflow spender that didn't feel like wasting my stats to give me back mana. Mind you, I don't care if I get ED back but it is a perfect example of a skill that can be used to use of aetherflow without feeling like it was wasted. Honestly, even if they made it a mana siphon with low cooldown that did no damage I would take it. The only other thing I really miss is the trait that lowered the cooldown on atherflow. It was rewarding to time getting the best use out of my stacks. Did I use them for ogcd heals or save it for energy siphons toward the end. My sch is only 73 at the time of this post so I will see how I feel when I get to 80.

Also, just to get this out there. With people complaining about the atherflow in battle just hit your tank with adlo or heck ruin II a random mob. Aggro management is so dummy easy for tanks right now running and aoe attack will keep all the aggro off you. Plus it puts you in battle to pop your aetherflow to use excog and such.

What I enjoy now:
Healing in higher dungeons feels impactful.
Embrace on instant cast so I dont have to set her as much. (Still do for bosses for that sweet regen)


What I dont enjoy:
Lower dungeons were as easy as ever. To be fair, most lower dungeons have always been easy as sch so nothing really changed. X3
MP management can be tough sometimes on bigger pulls. (Generally alternating atherflow and lucid should be enough but can feel real rough when trying to add in aoe damage)
