Exactly, there is no way to change anything about healers right now in a direction any of us would be happy with without upping the skill floor (I’m gonna count doing some measure of DPS as part of the floor, it doesn’t have to be a lot), even if you exclude damage altogether raising healing requirements is the definition of raising the floor

You can’t raise the floor in high end content and not in casual content because we still all vastly do casual content

You could potentially up damage then make GCD heals heal more, but that will probably create conflict as it further pushes non healers to punish those they can’t physically see casting heals, however nerfing oGCD’s might be a start (which we have discussed), if you make it impossible to get by just on oGCD’s you immediately bring GCD’s back into the equation, that reduces the number we of buttons you are pressing on damage; still even that’s a thin line because we don’t know how many oGCD sylphies there are
