The point is that we have a bunch of oGCDs that are extremely powerful AoE heals and they all come off cooldown really fast. This is actually more DPS centric then what I’m asking for. I want there to be meaningful choices between either doing damage or healing the party. That’s what well-designed healers and supports do across any genre of video games.

I want the healing tools we have to be more significant than a bunch of generic X potency heals. This doesn’t make me any less of a healer… It’s gaslighting, plain and simple. It’s invalidating what I want as a healer player, even more so than you keep claiming that we’re doing to your ideas (which we aren’t, we’re telling you we asked for it before and SE refused.)
I can tell someone isn't worth having a discussion with when they open with this "you aren't a REAL HEALER unlike meeeeeeeeeee" bunkum. It's bog-standard Sylphie smug posturing, not a discussion opener. It also perfectly illustrates that said Sylphie doesn't actually understand how skilled healers play but is proudly declaring that they do. There's no "discussion" there. It's just a Sylphie farting out "HeALeRs ShOULd HeAL OnLy" and sticking their nose in the air, which is all they ever do.
