By a combination of increasing damage frequency, reducing healing output, or increasing max HP pools and the amount of damage taken, you'd need to exceed that standard of healing requirements even in more casual content to actually provide a use to a 1-2-3 healing combo, and that threshold of damage is one that has pushed our community to its limits.

That said, something I've been thinking about lately is a way the lily system could be different and not promote so much overhealing, and the idea goes like this: Instead of Solace and Rapture being flat heals, we have three lily actions. I'll use some blunt names for the sake of simplicity.

Afflatus Fast Cast - Makes your next spell instant cast. Costs 1 lily and nourishes the blood lily. Also grants 1 stack of Growth.
Afflatus MP - Causes your next spell to restore your MP by an amount equal to its MP Cost. Costs 1 lily and nourishes the blood . Also grants 1 stack of Growth.
Afflatus Healing - Increases the potency of your next healing spell by 30%. Costs 1 lily and nourishes the blood lily. Also grants 1 sack of Growth.
Growth effect: If your next spell cast is a healing spell, that spell also nourishes the blood lily.

In other words, it's a soft 1-2 heal combo where you augment a heal before activating it all while staying DPS neutral. How do you feel about something like that?
Afflatus Germination
Afflatus Conservation
Afflatus Propagation

Would you be able to go, for example, FastCast, into Healing, into Medica, and get 2 stacks of BL from it, or would Growth overwrite itself so you want to spread out Lily uses? (also this sounds like SGE augments but I'm not wholly opposed)
