New spells

As a Scholar I’m so tired of oGCDs lol. It feels like most of the healing on it now is just slapping party members with an aetherflow ability to restore most of their HP (if not all of it) then going to Broil III spam. Like, why do we even have Physick/Adloquium/Succor if they don’t want us to use them?

For Scholar at least, and Astrologian to a lesser extent (less oGCDs but still more powerful than anything you can cast, and they’re free), we’re at the point where oGCD healing abilities are really devaluing the GCDs we do have.

I have my preferences, but I’d take any kind of new GCDs lol, whether they’re pure healing, pure DPS or purely buff/utility like Stoneskin was. Also my prayer to Yoshi-P is that we get the eureka spell Bravery as a role skill for healers, though I imagine that’d destroy the entire game balance lol. PVP version of Protect as a GCD role skill would be cool too, even if you’re only using it for tank busters. I’d even support putting Astrologian cards on the GCD so you can literally use them during healing downtime instead of just spamming Malefic IV waiting for them to come off cooldown. But again, that would break the game balance lol

I know this is bit different for White Mage since their main heals are from Afflatus Solace and Afflatus Rapture, but at the same time, aren’t Tetragrammaton, Assize and Asylum normally enough for healing anyway? My White Mage is still only level 76 lol, so I won’t claim to know about how it is to play in actual endgame content
