Healer role design change?

[vetch]

Well, I said it would be better at it, not that it would be perfect.

I personally advocate for quick streams of moderate damage to exhaust our extensive healing kits and force us to dip into GCDs because there's no way we can cover everything with OGCDs. Having occasional damage that totals to higher than our max HP is how they got to the point where mitigation is king.

Coils excels at this, because between its big raidwides it intersperses more aggressive damage windows with crit-enabled-autos and miniature tankbusters, extending longer than the duration of a single short mitigation, so you either need more than one or to suck it up and use the long mit. (It's also a lot more fun to tank because of all the judgement calls you have to make, like deciding to mit where you ordinarily wouldn't because a healer died and has low MP.)
