So touching those is fine, the healing numbers is a little off the rockers but for such large cooldowns its fitting, and honestly I really really hate how easy it is to focus someone down through healing already.
I think that personally, the following aspects should be looked at in major detail
-Global healing, AKA: Healing you do not ever have to be in position for, simply hit the button regardless of your circumstances.
-Detailed Care's healing bonus
-Curate's ability to yoink people away from any circumstance and into 500+ HP Heals in the same turn, this is simply not ok, Mass AND rescue need nerfs.
Here's the problem, though. I noted Priest and Dancer specifically because they aren't heavily affected by these cooldowns. Cooldowns work for specific skills, but stop working when you have multiple options for healing. You just rotate through your healing as needed, and even with positioning requirements, this can be easily achieved. Especially in 1v1's-- there IS no positioning for healing yourself. Interference isn't a common enough status to deal with this, silence is treatable and rare as well, cursed wounds are rare as well, and there is no other realistic counterplay.
In a world where a class has 3-5 healing options of varying potency, no amount of cooldown spamming is going to deal with the fact that they give you 200-500 HP back per. FP costs won't even fully fix this, but it'd be a good step in the right direction. Giving other classes healing options isn't perfect either, but it does make it so you're not stuck with zero healing versus someone with lots of it. I'd go as far as to say most Arbs have a huge leg up over most martial artists just for the decent heal every once in a while, as a random example.
That said, yes, it's fair to say that single heals aren't really problematic as a whole. Hence my suggestion for more of them across the board.
EDIT: I'd also like to add that, while I'm not against the changes proposed, I think they also don't really hit the root of the issue. I don't want this post to end with a balance change that only slightly shifts the needle instead of actually fundamentally fixing the issue.
