    ... Whoops. I need to quit doing that. lol genuine question from a baby SCH, what is my skill prio then? I was always doing Fairy everything -> Share crit shield -> use aetherflow/hardcast if in a pinch and ideally save for Energy Drain, but it seems I had it all wrong.

    Basically treat energy drain as if it doesn't exist unless it’s 10 seconds till aetherflow comes off CD and you still have 3 stacks of aetherflow

    A general prioritisation of “recitation on indom or excog->fairy skills->aetherflow skills->spreadlo->GCD healing” isn’t bad but it’s always best to treat energy drain as if it doesn’t exist until such time as you have no need for aetherflow but to dump it to use aetherflow again, it simply isn’t worth it to do anything else

    If you are sufficiently confident with a fight you can energy drain earlier if you know there is simply no way something will need it in the immediate future but that’s more optimisation than anything

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess
