the devs explaining their changes for healers:

''we've increased attack variation''

Ah yes, my 1-3 buttons I press every 2 minutes, or a button I don't even press outside dungeons, really adds variation to my 90% GCD uptime of glare.

they really said ''increase attack variation'' and removed sge double dots in the same breath - LOL?

So, about “WHM increased attack variation”.

In 2 min time, you have 48 casts in 2 min. I’ll be generous and say 5 casts are Dia, so 43 casts are Glare III. After PoM, 3 casts are PoM+ as Glare IV. 3 out of 43 casts are going to be Glare IV. That’s a variation of 6.97%. Which means 93.03% of the time, it’s the same thing.

I’ll be a suck-up, let’s say we use a Lily every time it’s available and then use Afflatus Rapture. That’s 8 casts in 2 min. That’s 32 Glare III casts and 3 Glare IV casts. That’s still 1 min and 20 seconds of pressing the same button.

Thats not variation at all.
