A summary of healer issues

[Ultimatecalibur]

As a side note: why do they let us Deploy from people who dont have any shields on them? Ive accidentally wasted quite a few deployments from butterfinger moments and I cant help but wonder why it's even possible to do that.

no clue. you could bane targets without DoTs as well (at least as of stormblood, my SMN knowledge has waned pretty greatly from disuse this expac and SCH had it removed wholesale)

It is because the action can't know if a buff/debuff/dot is there until the server uses the action on the target. The client is pretty much blind to what effects are on other characters and enemies and only knows the effects are currently on you.

there was also the small matter of bane once doing damage way back in the ARR days
