I'm bored when I heal because I need more complex DPS rotations

Nobody says it’s hard to use. In normal content they don’t matter because you still have CO, CU, Horoscope, and Macro.

Further higher though? There are indeed times where you do need to delay putting down stars slightly to fill the gap in their toolkit while also not losing usage (I remember this fondly in first quarter of P2S), or do it anyway while hoping to draw Lady of Crown lmao. This requires the foresight that Roe speaking of, both mechanic and general kill time. You won’t see this sort of nuance in almost all normal content.

I die a little inside everytime I got paired with filler co-AST at that period who just drop their star at -4s on cooldown then scrambles their way to cover that gap with an Asp Helios when they could’ve otherwise just relied on my many free to use buttons weeks after I begin to reintegrate back to SCH.

In harder content you have to plan and assign heal cds in advance with your co-healer ( even more so in ultimates) - that is true.
In normal content you use star on cd

People seem to underestimate hot stacks too..
Horo-->Nautral Sect --> Apspected Helios + Celestial Opposition is kinda OP w high spell speed..
(but you would lose 2 -3 dps cast tho and the use of an offglobal cd)
