And thanks a lot for the stream too! The heal takes a moment to happen (as you said, the animation has to play out first). We are still finessing the teach as it is a lot of mechanics being taught in a short amount of time, but watching you play helps a bunch to see where we can improve.
And yeah we've been working on it on the side of our regular jobs for about 2 and a half years now. Looking to have a solid vertical slice in a couple months.
