The idea that we need to DPS must go.

The issue I take with Vercure RDMs and Clemency PLDs is that they waste their GCDs on this when I, as the healer, either have an ability literally about to come off CD to use to get their health back up OR I have HoTs running that will tick them back up in less than half a minute.

Assize isn’t used for healing, but AOE raidwides are so few and far between, I can easily leave people sitting at half health for 10 seconds until it’s off CD, and bam—Assize actually healed AND did damage versus just overhealing and dealing damage. Or I have HoTs going, and then I see the RDMs Vercuring themselves instead of allowing my HoTs to do what they’re supposed to do: heal over time.

It’s okay to sit at low health for a little bit in a fight because these fights are so scripted in nature, and most pieces of content do not do rapid succession raidwides that would require immediate healing after the damage goes out. People that sit there and heal themselves instead of allowing my toolkit to do its job I just leave to their own devices at this point.

Understood I think what it is too people dont trust hots. Ffxiv hots are so totally slow and you think the self proclaim spell speed let it ticks faster but it dont and that 15 seconds low number tic just dont let you feel it. one physis with a kera is all a sage need to top off people 80% of fights.

Entertaining with some good points. It's safe to click, people. Unless you're allergic to the F* word.
