How to easily have healers dps engaged ( yet another thread)

To the original post:

The reason WHM has Lily heals feeding into Lily damage is because those Lily heals are GCDs. You can either Lily heal for the GCD, or you can Glare for the GCD, but not both.

None of the other healers is faced with that choice with their resources. Having their resources feed into damage is essentially buffing their damage, and that would need to be balanced, somehow.

Since the last patch Misery is dps neutral (have the potency of 4 glares) you don't need to choose you can lily away. Yes that would be a dps increase for healers so the numbers would need to be balanced

Only reason SGE doesn't have that choice is because Toxikon is not worth the GCD spent on the shield to gain addersting.
Which, tbh, was basicly the same place WHM was in for the longest time, but without being forced to use those GCDs to Heal anyways.

Which leads me to my counter idea for SGE:

Make Toxikon worth the heal investment. And immediatly you would increase the variety in gameplay for the job and thus engagement, bc now you'd be incentivized to have a GCD shield on the tank whenever it can break, at least up till you get full addersting stacks for the next burst.
