Death is always punishing especially for a healer. We come back with barely any mp, abilities like Draw, Aetherflow, Assize, and Lucid may still be on cooldown. Fairies need to be summoned, gauges rebuilt, etc. It seems the Devs dont mind locking most of our kits behind being skilled enough to stay alive already. WHM already require you to be alive 30 seconds for Afflatus anything. I don't see why locking anything behind dps on a class that has Thin Air would be seen as too punishing. It takes Scholar 4 minutes to get a full guage and it disappears on death too.
