    I honestly do have to wonder how exactly the healer balance conversations went. Like... how did they get to "Even though AST is meta... We'll jump up AST's potencies some more, improve Balance uptime, and add in some more oGCD healing" and go "Yeah this is OK, won't cause problems at all".

    I really does mystify me... what they were thinking. Do the people making those decisions even play healers?

    The entire dev team has never ran a healer through a dungeon. I am surprised they haven't been let go. If I was the Director and this was the result of my team's balancing? I'd look for some new people, ideally people with an inkling of common sense and a shred of experience in the classes they are "trying" to balance.

    (My theory is this is actually intentional. My guess is that they knew the real changes they have planned to certain classes were going to upset some people so they intentionally overnerfed stuff so that people would panic and complain and then when the raid drops and they release the real changes all of the people thank the devs for the buffs that saved them from uselessness even though those were the changes they intended all along)
