    It would be very different if tanks had some mitigation GCD.

    You two understand that healers have healing oGCDs right? The real healing abilities we track and manage?

    We aren’t making these life-or-death decisions every time we cast a DPS spell over a cure spell and vice versa. More-often-than-not, we are going for that oGCD first to heal before being forced to rely on GCD spells. If we can get away with basic shields and regens, we’re going to. The rest of the time, it is hitting that one DPS spells and keeping up the dot from that other DPS spell.

    Boss fights are so scripted, that I know if I use an oGCD ability to cure/shield after a boss does an ability or tank buster, that same oGCD cure/shield ability will be ready to use when the boss is ready to use that same ability or tank buster.

    Are there fights I am going to have to spend some time spamming GCD healing spells? Yes. Are they all-the-time, every-time? No.

    Is it possible to almost have 100% DPS time on healer? Yes, it is. Counts on the event, how well the party handles mechanics, and kill speed.
