What Healer kit (not encounter) change would make GCD heals NOT bad gameplay?

[Aravell]

There's also the problem with the healing kits being uninteresting flat landscapes of nothing. Do you want to heal one person for (an amount)? Or one person for (higher amount)? Or everyone for (amount)? Or everyone for (higher amount over time)? If WHM isn't allowed to have interesting downtime, and isn't allowed to have interesting healing, then its gameplay loop is....uh... spam!

This part is actually a big concern to me after EW launch. The moment the anticipated new healer was revealed to be a Nocturnal AST framework with SCH cooldowns slapped on it along with an Aetherflow gauge that charges over time instead of pressing a button to trigger it, I now fear that the dev team no longer have any ideas on how to move the healer role forwards.

It's not even solely about the damage kit, the healing kit is also showing signs of becoming stale and no longer creative. We get gold here and there like Macrocosmos, Panhaima and Expedience, but everything else is just so similar.

What you mean you don’t want another pointlessly overpowered heal at level 100 that doesnt gel with your kit at all and then have yoshi p say “idk we didn’t know what to do with you”

Shock horror, healers demanding way too much as usual

Like how at 82 everyone gets their dps upgrade, at 85 everyone gets gcd upgrades, and at 86 a brand new ogcd that's a thinly disguised copy paste of the same ability.

I can predict at 92 we'll get a dot upgrade (if they're not removed, that is), at 94 we'll get an upgrade to an aoe heal, and our capstone will be an ability they'll either remove by 7.0 or have already removed in the past and pretend it's brand new.
