Declining Good Healer in High-end content

[Taika]

To be fair, Shin Ex is perfectly healable with less than 8k effective HPS (both healers combined) throughout the fight. It's less about hard numbers and more about how each healer is applying their toolkit that makes a huge difference. The AST could be healing for 7k and things would still be clutch if they were never using mitigation when the situation called for it.

Not criticizing your play or anything btw (as it was likely the AST's fault if they weren't mitigating), just a little observation about HPS.

Yeah I believe that, but this was practice, and there were a lot of mistakes and unoptimal tank play to be covered. I'm sure there's a lot of valid critisism to be placed on my healer play too though! You're right though, it's not that much about HPS, it's about using correct heals and abilities at correct times that was the trouble. It was just frustrating for me because I felt like I was literally doing all I could in that situation.
