After the WHM demonstration for Evolved, I have concerns that the 'even simpler than it already was', 'focus more on Healing GCDs', 'damage refund on all Healing GCDs used, etc. is intended to be not just for WHM's gameplay, but for every Healer Job.
So, I decided to write this wishlist for SGE, because I'm one of those hopeful fools who still wishes for SGE to have more of a 'you heal better by doing your damage rotation' identity. And I think that with Evolved Mode having a higher focus on 'Job Individuality' (despite having a lower button count) is the perfect time to expand Kardia into a fully fledged system. Numbers are, of course, subject to balance and are just examples for illustrative purposes

Addersgall is a 0-100 Gauge, replacing the current version. It fills when Toxikon stacks are used, and naturally at a rate of 1 per second.
