To follow on from this, what is also something that is important to note with this, is that we refer to the DPS side of things, the 'downtime' where we are not healing. When people make healer ideas, it seems we always have one thing in mind: always keep the 'oh bugger we have to spam GCD heals now' tools like Medica, or Succor, or whatever, super accessible. The idea is that optimizing your DPS should be a fun challenging task, but if things start going wrong, you should have easy access to the tools that prevent the wipe. Low skill floor, High skill ceiling. In this case, I don't remember the exact details on Ty's version, but I think we both had Prognosis (the Medica equivalent) be not only 'still there' in our respective Sage ideas, but also cost zero MP because of the rest of the design using MP very differently. As such, a panicking, casual player can spam that skill till the cows come home to prevent the wipe if needs be.
