The Healer DPS Problem, The Toxicity it incites

[Koros]

I still remember coming to the game and not knowing that an oGCD could be used at the same time as GCDs in weaves until SB (started playing in ARR)

holy moly what a self out

LOL. Seriously only takes casting them once and seeing that your other skills don't go on the GCD to realize that.

Eh, I think that glosses over the nuance of the system. There's a window after using a GCD during which oGCD's don't work, and similarly using an oGCD towards the end of your GCD can result in your next GCD being delayed and hence not feeling responsive. A player who is still learning the entire system can easily interpret this as "doesn't work" or "unreliable". And once you've learned one of those lessons, you're not going to learn otherwise because you're not going to press those buttons off-GCD anymore.

And this should confuse someone for 4 years of playing?

No

This is why I avoid any healer conversation because trying to converse with specific users on this forum is like bashing my skull into a brick wall

How can one take that long to figure out such basic information? HOW?!?

This is why mentors exist, to help people like him. I'd do it myself if I didn't know that he's allergic to help.
