#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[ForsakenRoe]

Thinking about it, the reason double-shield wasn't really a thing pre-EW (eg running Noct-AST/SCH), and the reason it's so much more viable now, might simply be how many OGCDs we get to heal with now. Back in, say, HW, you didn't run Noct AST with SCH, because Noct AST had like one OGCD (the bubble, and it sucked) to partywide heal with. With the 'main heal' tools of Succor and Aspected Helios conflicting, and having so few options that weren't those, it was much harder to coordinate healing. Now we can throw out Soil/Kerachole and they stack, the regen from them (why do they have a regen) stacks, the barriers of Haima/Panhaima/Holos/Consolation all stack, the mit from Holos/Expedience/Fey Illumination all stacks. The only thing that doesn't stack is, still, Adlo/Succor and E.Diag/E.Prog.

Just let them stack SE, give WHM/AST access to shields that also stack, and forget this Pure/Barrier split nonsense. Let any healer comp be valid in Savage. I want to see it equally possible for WHM AST to take the world first, as it is for SCH SGE

Also, on the topic of RuneScape, both me and a friend have had OSRS open on the side to do stuff in the background while doing EG roulettes. The 2.5s GCD makes it easy to tab out, click something once (eg a rock to start mining) and tab back into FFXIV before the GCD is ready again. Would recommend for any healer who is looking for 'more to do', because clearly FFXIV is not going to provide that 'more to do' alone for the 7.X series
