you want to throw kerachole last second to mitigate damage + heal with the regen. sure, ast & sch have that too but not whm. whm has their own things too. in my experience whm chads the cohealer every time and youre left to solve the puzzle of nearly solo healing the entire fight on your own but i digress.

its a movement tool i often miss on other healers?
allows for more greedy play? its one lf the FEW non-healing things to do that are actually unique in this game.

look. i get it. you dont prog savages week 1 or do ultimates on healers. in anything below the last 2 fights of a tier you could use all your heals interchangeably and nothing would change. indeed cardia swapping is useless when not needed. i like kardia swapping in one specific part of tea where theres dolls and the ranged is often far away cuz i can save that addersgall/intersection/benison for more relevant damage.

im not saying sage is the holy grail of healing, i myself said its really freakin boring because at the end of the day its more 11111 spam.

i just want people to be honest with themselves. the more you get into optimization the more you can appreciate the differences in gameplay, however tiny they may be. arguing semantics, pedantry and "akchually"-ing anyone who says the healers feel even slightly different brings nothing of value to the conversation.

saying sage plays diff from whm does not imply at all that they think 111 is ok or that healers dont all do 111. in fact you yourself just told me whm plays different from sage.
