I'm not really sure what others deem a "rotation" Because in my mind, the requirements for a set of attacks to be considered a "rotation" is extremely low. If Sage got the PVP treatment of reducing the DoT duration to 15 seconds, reducing Phelgma's cooldown to 20 seconds, made Pneuma a DPS tool instead of a healing tool every 60 seconds, and made Toxikons OGCD and generated offensively, that I would describe as a rotation. I would describe Stormblood Scholar as having a rotation. What makes current healers not have a rotation in my eyes is that repeatedly casting a single spell is not a rotation because there is no looping of anything, and there isn't enough variation to keep the healer breaking away from that. It's one thing if there's a rhythm where you're, say, casting your neutral three times, then doing something else, but having... what is it? twelve casts of your neutral game between DoT application? When you have repetition of action usage in games, generally you do it in groups of twos, threes, or fours, not groups of twelves.
