How could people still think healing GCDs are forbidden in EX/Savage+?

They are optimized, so naturally you will cast less to help with the dps check better as you learn better. But that doesn’t mean you are not allowed to use them.

It also takes a great deal amount clownery in casual contents to really necessitate the use of GCD heals to bail people out of their mistake. Lower lv synced contents where we don’t have as much tools in our disposal also does this.

True, but you often get attacked and harassed if you use GCD in harder content since it's easier to blame the healer if they fail the dps check..

I would ignore it some people are just really petty, dead people do 0 dps anyways.

No you don't, why are you making up scenarios about content you don't do and saying that happens often? That doesn't happen, especially not in Ultimate where GCD healing is required

It's not made up, it just hasn't happened to you.

But it is.

Please note the bolded word that you appear to have skipped over/ignored for convenience:

If it happens so often, why haven't I seen it as a blatant and habitually cautious overhealer?

Why isn't it commonplace in the tales from DF thread?

Because it's made up, that's why.

People get grouchy over not being healed and slowly dieing when they felt the healers had plenty of time to save them. People get grouchy over healers who literally do nothing but cure 1 spam. People even get grouchy over healers who maintain Medica II constantly when it's not needed, but this is no different to the days of seeing PLDs spam nothing but Rage of Alone, it's painful to watch and pretty much a meme.

If you lean a bit too heavily on your GCD kit but otherwise keep people alive and contribute a bit of damage, nobody will care outside of the occasional a-hat who's going find something to get mad about no matter what you do.

This is pretty much just self inflicted raid anxiety in a nutshell /shrug
