    So at the end of the day, it wont make any large differences since any incoming Raid damage is better off being reduced by providing Succor which is is often more than enough.
    Few things wrong with this.

    1) Sprint is 60s CD, 10s duration in combat.
    2) Succor sucks (no pun intended) as aoe mitigation. It's less than 5% of max HP at max lvl, you're better off using Sacred Soil, Whispering dawn, Indom, + a Fey Blessing to recover from whatever aoe hit you. Or Adlo + Deployment Tactics before hand.

    But yeah, I think the movement buff will be pointless in general.

    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]

    And mentioning this is kind of funny, as during the job action showcase the SCH player did recit>adlo>deploy instead of recit>indom like you're supposed to do. Showing that they, in fact, don't know how to play their own healers, or at least have a low understanding of SCH.

    They also show AoE abilities on single targets.
    They don't show the melees doing positionals.
    They show reaper staying away from the mob for a long time and use its ranged attack instead of going back to melee as soon as possible.
    The job action trailer is meant to show some job actions, it's not meant to show you how to play your job.
    Your conclusion could be right, maybe they don't understand SCH, but the way you got to this conclusion is certainly not right.
