    That's not what we've tended to see from DPS-based healers in other games though. As long as there is sufficient control over (bankability in) the timing/dynamics of that damage, it's tended to be used around healing... just with no complete downtime / never any zero use case (if an MP-efficient CD would otherwise overcharge or a gauge spender overcap, it still gets used).

    Again, I'm not advocating for a %damage-based or damage-potency-based Kardia under the existing kit. It'd basically just be as lackluster a regen as it is now except during Phlegma and AoE-damage based needing obvious constraints -- more work than advantage. But, if we're talking about changes large enough as reworked systems, it makes little sense not also to include in that scope revisions to SGE's offensive/non-curative tools.
