Burnt out of the healer BS

...how WHM Afflatus spells should be oGCD.

Hard disagree here. The Afflatus skills being GCD is fine (225 potency DPS on the move if nothing else, potentially weaving tool and healing as the cherry on top) once you get Misery. If they can expand the system so it does something besides insta-Cure 2 when you first get it, it'd have no problems.

Overly powerful oGCD's is part of why healing in this game is often trivial. Also, being mostly reliant on oGCD's is Scholar's thing.

Expand the lily system, don't keep chasing the oGCD's only design.

----------------------

As to healer DPS, even one extra DoT is something. Shadowflare was something. Whatever requires additional attention and rewards you for doing so. There's no reason why we can't talk about the dull DPS/downtime kits while ALSO discussing things like how "in-combat only" restrictions are annoying.

This game has hella downtime, and unless that changes (it won't because then bad healers can't clear groups and good healers can't carry bad groups) or every healer gets buff/debuff kits for downtime (also seems unlikely given they've NEVER headed in the direction of GCD buffing spells since ARR Bard), DPS is what has to fill that downtime.

Healers adjust

Oh, I see. Real classy.
