Is the "healing portion" of healers hitting a wall in EW?

[Raven2014]

every healing action learned since shadowbringers only serves to enable more dps spam since theyre all mostly off global cd (except rapture)

This is accurate. And frankly, this issue feels like a rabbithole that the players and developers keep pushing each others down further and further. I don't know who started it, although I have a feeling it's started by the developers.

- From the start: healer's contribution toward DPS only grew more and more as times goes by.
- This lead to: a portion of healer players adopt a DPS first and healing (a distant second). To them, a GCD heal is a "loss of performance".
- This lead to: the mentality of "regular healing" should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Hell, some of them don't use it anyway even when absolutely necessary.
- This lead to: a lot of grief for parties due to "selfish" healers.
- This lead to: SE decided to give more and more oGCD as a way to allow healers to greed while still keeping their party alive (mostly).

I feel our 1-50 abilities should have always been the bread and butter (like they are for every other roles), while the additional oGCD are more supplement to them. But as of now, the former is more breadgum on the floor not worth picking up unless you're starving (aka emergency situation), while the oGCD is the main course.

And I don't think they can change it tbh. As long as Healer DPS is treated as competitive instead of supplemental, gutting the oGCD kits just gonna lead to healing grief in duties. That ship sails, I don't think it can't be recalled unless they willing to build a completely new ship. The oGCD pool is bloat when you look at it from a healing angle, because we stop needing anything more since at least 2 expack ago as far as keeping the party heal concern. Rather, they are tools to let the healer DPS more and more. Not saying I like that, but that's what it is.
