It's this tiny amount of utility that's possible with double weaving that annoys me the most. The shield feels inconsequential and the heal unnoticeable but it's the optimal way to use the skill. It's really unsatisfying in practice even if logically I know it's the right thing to do. You need a long transition to get the full use of the skill but that makes the heal unnecessary because an actual healer could make use of the same downtime to heal more efficiently. Personally I wish Improv was something that needed to be weaved between weapon skills intentionally. Let it be like Continuation or the old Dark Arts to charge up the shield and release a small heal with each use.
