Reading posts where people are complaining that they are having to use Essential dignity (ED) and light speed to heal the tanks is a baffling mentality - as that is what the spells are there for - to heal when its tough going . With the hyperspeed trait and 2 charges of ED from lvl 78 onwards - it makes lightspeed a 1.5 mid CD if we are using our ED spell regularly, which is a huge mana saver if used and not saved throughout the fight. Lucid dream will take some getting used to to not be afraid to press it on its 1 min (and lower potency) CD, and we do have a lot of healing spells that cost no mana, so using and not saving them is important.
With more time healing i think having less to think about with the card system is not such a bad thing - although when in a dungeon with 2 dps both melee or 2 ranged can be annoying. sometimes having to minor arcana dps the tank!
using synergy i feel a lot of people forget about. Using that on the tank and healing them is a great HPS cooldown for tank healing heavy situations
Nopers! This is totes what healing is like without Protection spells and buffs, and just a lot of abilities removed, pushed into higher levels, or outright changed unnecessarily, which happens every expansion...
