    Judging by this statement alone I would think turning those abilities into non instant GCDs would solve all the problems, though I'm pretty sure those Afflatus thingy are not oGCD last time I checked

    I think the problem lies not on GCDs or oGCDs, but the variety of things we can do when healing is not required. I personally can live with 1 GCD spam as long as that GCD interacts with something, like giving gauges with each successful cast

    SCH pvp used to be like this (Still might be?) Your main filler spell would give you charges of aetheryte which you could use on lustrate.

    But yeah, Broil giving 5-10 on the fairy gauge? Yes freaking please. Or y'know that trait they dropped in ShB that lowered the CD on aetherflow on each broil cast.

    Glare giving you a chance to proc FreeCure? Yes freaking please.

    Malefic lowering the CD on Essential Dignity or Card Draw?

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
