Tank? When around 50% depending on how squishy they have been. DPS? When they run back after dying from the AoE.

About what you said about the single pulls...I just can't help but notice that there was a bit of contempt in that tone, like you're proud of the fact that you only throw a regen on the Tank and offer no other heals to Tanks (even if they may need it). That bothers me. Some Tanks prefer to pull small, I'm personally not one of them but I still respect their decisions since only they know what they are comfortable with. I feel like you do not, and that bothers me.
If it's 1 group, you will very rarely need anything more than a regen.About what you said about the single pulls...I just can't help but notice that there was a bit of contempt in that tone, like you're proud of the fact that you only throw a regen on the Tank and offer no other heals to Tanks (even if they may need it).

Make SCH great again! Seriously though, we just want our class to be fun and engaging again, not OP, is that too much to ask for?
Around 50% more than whatever the heal I'm planning to use will heal them for. Well... within reason. If we're talking cases where my tools will heal most/all of their HP, I try not to let them fall below half.
About 5%. I give my friends too many heart attacks. It's part of the fun.
60% is when I start thinking about it.
50% is when I usually do it.
If 2 other players are ~85% when someone else is at 60% I'll usually throw out an AoE heal because I'm lazy.
Though, of course, this is if the Tank doesn't have Excog. Because if they do I'm not healing them until it goes off.
Level 80: SAM | SCH | PLD | DNC
Leveling: AST | WAR | MCH
Most time I get bad tanks and have to spam none stop healing or they die in 5 seconds. Most tanks get never get out of the aoe attacks or pull way to many that they can handle. If have a good tank I heal at 60%.
I don't have fixed point, I just use a heal if one is needed. If I'm on WHM and I have Benediction, it feels like a waste if the tank is over 25%. ED on AST is similar since it scales with tank HP remaining. Some pulls may not requiring healing at all and in that case I'll just DPS since it's more efficient than healing.
If I'm being honest with myself, when I'm playing with strangers, my heal threshold is pathetically low (the amount of damage taken before I feel like I need to step in and heal). There's no point in risking a wipe when I don't know these people and who knows the fight/what buttons to push.
With friends? Yeah, I enjoy my power a little too much. In dungeons I let them sit at whatever hp till the next aoe burst goes out, and hit them with Excog/Dignity/Bene when death seems imminent. I mean, do you really know your tank if you haven't heard them grunt in panic over discord? I really know all my tank friends.
Based on expectations of incoming damage.
Benefit of having 4 80s and all the roles covered is I know what kind of pressure my tank and DPS are likely to be under, and I heal for that. That isn’t some percentage, it’s situational.
- I do like to have them all topped off in any low pressure moment. I want people saving mitigation cooldowns for high pressure moments or tankbusters, so I make sure I heal them to where, if I was playing that role on my character in my character’s current hear for it, I wouldn’t be wondering where my healz was at...
If you let them slide to the point where they’re stressing, that’s the point where they start blowing up rotations... and then things become a mess. I only let that happen if I myself have hit that point for some other reason...
Caveat is that healer is my secondary role, I maim as a tank and DPS is probably third. But I try to regularly rotate between them all to keep my perspective current.
