    Ah, i think ppl missed my semi sarcastic tone. I wasnt trying to say "SE said they would never do it". Im saying im fully confident they would never do it.
    The reason it failed in 3.0 was a combination of issues.
    (1) remember they made bow mages, they werent gonna make an instant cast healer.
    (2) they mentioned a mudra healer like CHM, but "it didnt work out" but yet we got AST, which presses stuff every 30s, rather than every cast.
    Now take this direct info, and add to it;
    (3) We still dont have a lower GCD healer (or tank) like NIN/MNK. The best we have, is to stack spell speed. (DRK has blood weapon, and that didnt lower it to 2s, and nor was it up full time, just on occasion)

    This leads me to fully believe they are worried controller players wont be able to input enough button presses between the GCD as a healer. (worst case scenario, they let go of L2/R2, then press up/down 4 times, then press L2/R2, and then press 1-4 mudra buttons, and then activate on a target, all within a GCD, and having to repeat it in this worst case scenario.)
    They mentioned GNB not pressing a "trigger ability" button after every GCD to avoid carpal tunnel issues.
    Also, regarding "Next healer will be a caster only" stems from another list, but now my hands hurt typing so much, so maybe in a little bit lol.
    Can I be wrong? Sure. But I'm still confident in my chances.
