A summary of healer issues

Toxikosis

hmm it sounds fairly good on paper, i'm just not so sure about it being 3 stacks, it sounds kinda close to energy drain which, i guess is the point? but i wonder if it'd be too much of a cluster F to do that, and mit/healing, and eukrasian healing if needed, if stuff all ends up lining up on top of the 2 min window like manifold flames can do sometimes. Would a 3 tick dot work better, i wonder?

I can't imagine it would be. There's not a time limit on the procs in this concept, you just want to avoid reusing Toxikon before you spend all 3, however long that takes you. Perhaps that puts a bit more pressure on optimal play during buff windows, but I really dont' think that's a problem. SGE is supposed to be one of the hardest disciplines in the game's lore and can afford to have some challenge to it. There's nothing wrong with having one healer that feels busy for the players that want that. It doesn't compete with any healing resources though, so it's meant to feel more like a Continuation lite rather than Energy Drain.

yeh i see it, and dont get me wrong im all for stuff that gives us more to do, but afaik lots of AST players swapped to WHM this tier because it's just so much effort to get the same performance as WHM, especially when the fights love to throw every mechanic under the sun at the party specifically at 2min windows (like p8 lmao) so id just worry this idea would contribute to a similar issue. i suppose that it's got the benefit of not needing to retarget every GCD like AST has to with it's card stuff though, so that might make it a lot more fluid to execute
