WHM: An idea to change the freecure trap and to encourage using damage spells

[AnotherPerson]

If we’re thinking of new healer type abilities what about physicals upgrades to life line which ties the healers own health to the target draining the healer to heal? Or what about a spell called equilibrium which would balance the groups health so everyone had an equal amount?

Incoming Raidwide damage pretty much make that skill effectively useless and equilibrium already exists in the WAR kit, but it's just a flat potency self-heal instead of a balance HP spell. Honestly though, I can see the Balance HP spell being used even less since tanks have much higher amounts of HP at lv 80. if the total HP of the whole party was pooled together and then redistributed, the tanks would be losing a ridiculous amount of HP which makes them more even more vulnerable to tankbusters since the HP values in ShB skews the tank's HP by a ridiculous margin. That can easily cause wipes.

The more I learn about this game the more it seems they have designed themselves into a corner.
