For those who main/semi-main a DPS (e.g. DNC, RDM) but like Healers...

Half asleep so apologies if I'm missing a portion of something here, the 80% number above is GCD usage I think? Looking at the log you mention, that SCH has 140 broils vs ~15 non broil GCDs.

If you look at offensive casts, you're also getting into that sort of territory as well, the same SCH lands at 76% for example.

It goes without saying but the overall cast counts in logs will include oGCDs. Sadly I don't think there's a quick and easy way to filter down to purely GCD usage?

Well, just doing the math.

I think it does come down to "oGCDs don't count", but that's like saying "AST has a low burst APM", which is obviously not a realistic position.

It does support the idea of making all oGCD heals into GCDs, though, since that would completely upend that system to where the nuke-spams were no longer the most used buttons. Firstly, since those oGCDs would now count no matter the metric used, and secondly because they would displace Gloialosis GCD use.

EDIT:

So I guess it comes down to "How far are you willing to go to get rid of nuke-spam?", since the absolute simplest way to accomplish that would be make all Healer Actions into Spells...which is obviously not what most people would want.
