    Well, I don't see a difference really. When you're dumping stacks, you're "wasting" the stack either way. Overheal or ED. In terms of healing, I mean. But the Ruin IV way of doing it wouldn't lead to your method of dumping stacks strictly competing with your method of using them for heals.

    Like when you don't need to heal, you'd just overheal a Lustrate and bank the Further Ruin stack for movement/weaving/burst window. With my proposed system.

    I really do not understand this community's insistence that overhealing by design is good. Its suggestions like these is why tanks are 1-2-3 melee dps and healers are 1 button snooze fests.

    Dumping lustrate to get rid of stacks will encourage bad habits and further the divide between good and bad players. You want to design the job to be intuitive so that's its obvious what the optimal play is, that's not how you do it.

Meanwhile those who enjoyed it before feel alienated.
