    Holy has a stun and provides utitlity, not to mention is easily paired with Thin Air and Pressence of Mind making it come out faster and cost zero mana.

    Gravity can be instant cast with Lightspeed and is available almost every pull in dungeons with a low 90s CD.

    Because you could be Bane'ing a 600 potency Biolysis to each target.

    All of the healer AoE are essentially equal in damage. That's why WHM Holy is considered so good. It has the stun to go with it.

    Now if Gravity had a Slow attached to it (it should IMHO) it would equal Holy

    If Art of War applied some debuff (Damage down or something), it would equal Holy. Oh wait, we had that in ShadowFlare. . .

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
