But yeah, healing system definitely felt all over the place at the time. Offensive parts of the healers kit at the time though made it feel a bit more enjoyable to play than how it is today. (imo)

It's quite sad that healers have had so much taken away.
Don't forget our other 20% Chance!
Secret of the Lilies 2, a trait so bad few even remember it ever existed, even during the expansion itself.

A 20% chance on healing critical HP with Cure or Cure 2 to reduce the CD on assize OR asylum by 5s. Healing critical HP meant critting, not healing someone low. So, ya know, RNG on RNG for a CD reduction applied inconsistently to different skills.

Assume a 20-25% crit chance and that's a 4-5% chance on casting good ol C2 and C1. Spam it and you may get one a minute! Hooray! And if there's one thing we love in the healing world it's variance on healing CD timings, especially short CD reductions that could rarely be relevant.

Lucky for us there wasn't any variance anyway cause you could go an entire tier of prog without seeing that proc once, let alone ever noticing it.

What an abysmal mess they gave us going into Stormblood.
