    I do, in Bozja. All the time. And am still generally top 3 in damage most fights. Because there is often 1 minute + without any damage whatsoever.

    I absolutely would NOT advocate this in any high level content whatsoever. But solo? Or boring content like Bozja? Yeah, macro away.

    IMHO, the macros are not "incredibly inefficient". Are they inefficient? Yes, but at most you'll lose a few GCDs a minute. or so. Hardly game breaking in casual content. These are healer DPS GCDs. Half the damage of what a DPS can do.

    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]
