The 1.5s Glare/Broil

And you haven’t remotely explained why getting free oGCD healing with infinite weave windows is in any way harder than fighting for uptime with minimal weave windows and trying to get healing out around your limited windows

Saying “oh we oGCD heal more so it’s harder” is just a nothing statement, pressing kerechole to delete the raidwide once every 10 dosis is not remotely comparable to holding enough aetherflow to both be able to open a window to weave using ruin 2 without losing damage while also considering if you have enough aetherflow to open another ruin 2 window later to move for a movement heavy mechanic or where you had no choice but to use succor as you had no other option

Healer optimisation has been squished down into ABC which isn’t even hard these days because slide casting is so easy, this isn’t “different but harder” this is just straight up easier in every way

I already explained it. maximizing/planning out movement. Utilizing swiftcast appropriately, not dropping your dps casts, and meeting heal checks without GCD heals as much as possible.The old way was clunky and the old slide-casting was very unfriendly to players with less-than stellar ping. This is such a dumb arguement because the old way was litterally just a worse version of what we have now. It's not like things are drastically different.

You’ve just said “it’s harder now because it was made easier”

You can say it’s smoother and I would agree with you, but it’s not harder because what you used to have to fight for is now given for free

Yeah thats not what I said. I said the difficulty was changed from clunky mechanics where you had very few weave windows, which results in either weaving over a GCD or just ignoring healing a mechanic because it would break your GCD, as well as where big moves = unavoidable dps loss, to what we have now which is you are able to OGCD reliably but you have more abilities to juggle and plan out and use appropriately on top of making sure movement doesn't interrupt your dps. smh

and yes it is smoother. But healers are pressing more buttons. The struggle now is that in 2-healer content people can just get away with not pressing their buttons and making the other healer do it. (or in the case of sage rn just handling every mechanic by yourself without dropping a gcd)
