A summary of healer issues

[NobleWinter]

@OP: another big one on the personal fixes/QoL wishlist for scholar would be to flip the galvanize/catalyze layers--since currently it's very hard to tactics out a beefy adlo since the galvanize is taking all the damage before the catalyze, and as with bane it requires a delay for the shield to "stick" before you can spread it (trying to instantly spread it just wastes the action fo no effect).
in that delay, the galvanize can sometimes be very heavily damaged/broken entirely, making the tactics spread basically a waste of such a long cooldown.

As a side note: why do they let us Deploy from people who dont have any shields on them? Ive accidentally wasted quite a few deployments from butterfinger moments and I cant help but wonder why it's even possible to do that.

[yoshi-p, probably]: because shut up

no clue. you could bane targets without DoTs as well (at least as of stormblood, my SMN knowledge has waned pretty greatly from disuse this expac and SCH had it removed wholesale)

It is because the action can't know if a buff/debuff/dot is there until the server uses the action on the target. The client is pretty much blind to what effects are on other characters and enemies and only knows the effects are currently on you.

there was also the small matter of bane once doing damage way back in the ARR days
