Mouseover healing macros - some problems

[Taika]

This hivemind annoys me. There are advantages and disadvantages of it. So long as you know how they work and can make the decision that the advantages are more valuable to you, they're fine. Especially for healing, which is really more about precision and timing than squeezing out every possible fraction of a GCD.

It's just that I can't think of a situation in which using macros would be in any way beneficial over not using them. And I also don't see why healer jobs are any less about utilising every gcd and ocd as efficiently as possible than other jobs. This coming from a person who mained healer from 1.0 until the end of HW and healed with mouseovers through Coil 1.

I agree with your sentiment re optimisation. I just cannot enjoy the alternative targeting methods, when i've spent a decade using mouseover healing. I tried them and would rather just quit the game then play like that, so i'm hoping it doesn't come down to that choice, and that i'll be able to improve upon the current macro problems.
