If I see my coheal are that type who wants to see everybody at 90% health immediately after each raidwides, I will not bother putting my tools on cooldown, beside probably some small regen like leaving Eos/Selene do the leftover patching up. Will that make my cohealer hate me for seemingly making them do all the legwork? Probably, but their insecurities are not my fault. They have to at least recognize their cohealers expertise and what their tools are capable of beyond the simple Medica II/Cure III/Succor/Prognosis/Helios. That's why we're referring them as a 'Co-healer', you work together to end the encounter: defeat the boss.



I'm not the person you're quoting, but I can probably answer a bit.

I played all 4 healers (or at least read up their tooltips before actually playing them myself) so to some extent I can think of possible scenarios. I.e.:
- "If Styx is coming up next, as a SGE I will deploy Panhaima. What is WHM/SCH/AST's equivalent to this? <insert answer>"
- "This X raidwide always happens at 00:30 mark of the encounter because it lines up with my Sacred Soil/Indomitability. But nothing will damage the rest of the party until 01:00. My co-healer is a WHM, so I should take account of their possible Assize heal anytime between 00:45 to 00:59 and just deploy Whispering Dawn to heal everybody slowly."

The list goes on. But such is the way of PF, we still have to adjust. Players aren't so incompetent that they cannot recognize where the hint of problem coming from: kick them out or leave for another. Sure it sucks if we get an inexperienced healer but if people really hoping for a consistent experience, they really should consider a static. PF is such a mixed bag of bliss and purgatory.
If I saw them using any aoe heal not overhealing btw if we're all at 1hp. I wouldn't have to use so much mp to heal everyone. I would only use minimal amount. Not to mention I could also be dpsing during that as well if we both top up real quick. It would get the job done faster. I wouldn't have to stress using 50% of my mp within the first idk 30secs of the fight due to lack of healing from said other healer.
