That was week 1 when we were all undergeared, and that's the most healing intensive fight of the current savage tier. That's way too low. Now, with BiS gear, my healing - offensive GCD ratio is <1% on AST. And the most skilled healers manage to do 0 GCD runs with perfect oGCD planning.
I mean...this cannot be what healers are supposed to be.
It sounds like the "What people think I'm doing:... and what I'm actually doing:..." meme but I'm starting to believe that SE really has no actual clue what even just somewhat competent healer gameplay looks like, they seem to think that healers just spam GCD heals 24/7. "Oh you took 10% damage? Let me do 3 Medica 2's" As if every healer has less cognitive function than a badly programmed bot.

Or they really think that spamming the same button for 7 minutes out of an 8 minute fight is riveting gameplay.
