Just another symptom of class imbalance. Feeling punished for not having certain roles on your team feels great. Ninja burst doesn't happen during Triple Mudra anyway, it's usually Bhava+Assassinate into Triple Mudra.
    This actually matters a whole lot, though probably not for the reason you're thinking. Right now, you need TBN to survive coordinated burst, because the damage of GCD + OGCD is so spiky that very little else matters in terms of throughput.

    Scholar seemed imbalanced (and Dark Knight is imbalanced) because they're the best solutions to over-tuned burst. Any fix to healer throughput is going to have to come packaged with nerfs to the percentage of health that burst represents. Even with a pre-adlo, it's possible for a ranged or melee to die outright in the duration of a stun if burst is properly coordinated. That's the real reason "Healer Carry" is a thing - burst damage is so strong right now that even "good" healers have a hard time with it.
