Helare shortage in PF: what would bring you back?

[Rilifane]

I would love to get resource management back if it is something active you control through clever or attentive gameplay - pushing Lucid every 60s doesn't cut it.
Nor should it become irrelevant outside prog/ clownfiesta parties; rather it should be something that is constantly part of your gameplay and you can manipulate your MP gain through attentive and clever gameplay while the learning healer will simply suffer dps loss from not doing it properly.

MP or resource management in general isn't inherently bad but it needs to be in the player's control. Keeping Lucid on cooldown and being screwed and auto-attacking when neither Lucid nor your class-specific gimmick is up after something happened is definitely not control.
And I think that's what people usually dislike about such things: not the core idea of managing a resource but rather the lack of control over it.

How dare you to propose a gameplay that potentially subjects the newbie learning healer to suboptimal performance, there must not be a gap between them & the skilled healer reee. /s

for a time in SHB when WHM had it's full 2.5s casts on glare, i did have an idea of bringing back Fluid Aura (renamed to Water, later upgrading to Banish) as an instantcast GCD that cost 1000mp, but with a potency of 450 (maybe even 500), as a way to give them A: mobility ala ruin 2 on SCH, and B: a reason for piety to exist as a stat. if you had too much piety in this example, like 2200 cos the crafted gear is LOADED with it for some reason, you'd be able to dump more MP into this more potent damage spell to close the gap between high piety and lower piety big crit/dh sets, and it'd add an extra layer of optimisation with dumping mana on Banish during raidbuff windows for dps gains (but not enough that you run OOM)

it'd mean MP management as a skill again, and clearly we can't have that, DRK's 'evolution' over the years has shown that, also they made glare 1.5s so we dont even need a ruin2 option anymore and this idea is no longer really needed (though doing something to make piety not 'dead stat lmao' would be nice)

Right you are, how could I?
A skill ceiling for healers that doesn't reward you with more Glaroileficosis? Unacceptable :c
