Evolved WHM concerns

The problem I have with those changes are actually the cd on holy sanctuary. Those changes are supposed to let white mage heal "as much as they want" without losing dps. But since holy sanctuary has a 30 seconds CD, then it means that white mage can't use more than 3 heals every 30 seconds without losing dps... This feels nonsensical. I feel like holy sanctuary should not have a CD but should be usable only with at least 1 stack of sanctity. That way, every 3 heals, you are "forced" to cast holy sanctuary in order to gain the right to use other heals without losing dps. But right now, you are forced to not use more than 3 heals every 30 seconds or else you will lose dps. That's weird.

That could be a Problem, by tanks who don't use CDs true. Good point Karuya

One possible way to handle this could be making Glare (or a higher-tier Glare) instant and then pairing it with Tetragrammaton. That would let you weave it comfortably within a single GCD.

Just a rough idea on how this issue could be approached.

I'm not only talking about that, it's more like a "philosophy" problem. I'm talking about, if you have to heal your team more than 3 times with medica because there are a lot of aoe damages(or if you just want to do it for no reason because you want to waste your mana), then it means you will lose dps because sanctuary has a 30 seconds cd, so you won't have enough sanctuary to consume every sanctity stack you get.

This doesn't fit the "we want people to be free to heal just like they want" mentality that YoshiP and M.Prime talked about. In my opinion, the only limit you should have in regard to the amount of healing you chose to use should not be your sanctuary cd, it should be your mana, so yeah i think sanctuary should not have a cd, if a situation requires to use more than 3 heals in 30 seconds, you should be able to do : medica * 3 -> sanctuary -> medica * 3 -> sanctuary ... I'm of course using an extreme example and i don't think we should ever need to cast 6 medica, but we should be free to do so if we want, if we follow the mentality devs talked about.
