Afflatus Misery is (IIRC) an OGCD skill, which means I can snap that off between Glares.

    However, most of your comments are coming off as if you really need to play WHM to refresh yourself because I'm about convinced you know absolutely nothing about what you're talking about.
    This comment is a very good example of why you shouldn't insult someone when you haven't done your homework...

    You're wrong on most of that and don't seem to understand what weaving is. oGCD's (instant abilities) have a 1 second animation delay. Therefore Plenary -> Medica II would take 3.5 second at base SpS. The Plenary is what we call a "clip" and these are undesirable because those +1 seconds all add up to considerable downtime over a fight.
    A lily heal is an instant GCD. When you use a lily, it casts instantly and you then have the 2.5 sec as a window in which you can use oGCD's (and/or move). So Afflatus Rapture -> Benison -> Tetra is only 2.5 seconds. Weave windows are very important because we need them to use oGCD's without any delay and avoid or position for mechanics.

    Misery is not an oGCD and can (and should) also be used as a weave window or movement tool. You should avoid snapping oGCD's between Glares except in emergencies or Assize.

    But I think you're demonstrating why a non-healer trying to tell the healers how to play is a bad thing...
    He's comparing it to Earthy Star because it's the strongest single heal in the game. Your Medica II idea is nearly twice as strong as two Earthly Stars. One GCD gives you 1300 total heal potency. That's bonkers. Basically Grimoire knows what they're talking about and you could probably learn a bit by listening.
