Square tried to mitigate the no-GCD healing meta by making bleeds ubiquitous in Abyssos. The problems with that approach are numerous.
  • They want to make healing harder without scaring unskilled healers, which are practically mutually exclusive goals
  • They made it a mitigation check instead of a healing check, which is a party responsibility that's blamed on healers when things go south
  • oGCD healing is still meta, because free and instant always beats slow with an opportunity cost
  • Their desire to make GCD healing more important is entirely rooted in "because that's what healers are supposed to do", which ignores how dreadfully boring GCD healing spells as currently designed are.
