Dear Square Enix, do something with GCD healing please.

You claim it would be a disaster but that's kind of how it was in Coils back in ARR. We didn't have the plethora of oGCD healing abilities back then and had to actually utilize your GCD for Healing/Shielding as appropriate. Sure, there was moments of levity to throw on Cleric Stance and do some DPS but it's not as though you could do that for 80% of an encounter and be fine like you can today. If it was possible back then, then I fail to see why it would suddenly be impossible now, especially given that every role now has much more group utility than they did back then.

The thing is, even back in ARR things were being solo healed by SCH.

Yes, it required more GCD heals because that's all they had outside of the fairy and lustrate, but it was still possible.

Again, the only point I was trying to make was that it was doable with our GCD toolkit back then so I fail to see why it would suddenly be impossible to do now.

we gcd healed more, AND we had more to do during downtime too. i really dont understand why players and devs alike somewhere along the way started thinking that its impossible to break from this new status quo where all we do is use a single dps button 160+ times in 1 fight and heal everything else with ogcds.
