In our Free Company, no one wants to play any other healer than WHM. For all the events we've done so far (for the extremes and Eden normal mode), we have always only had one healer sign up, when we used to have several people enjoying playing all the healer jobs and we were able to rotate people healing and playing other roles. The Savage is coming in two weeks and it looks like we have absolutely no one willing to play Scholar or Astro, even though a few of us have really given them a chance (my SCH was my 2nd level 80, my AST will be 80 this week). I really hope SE does something soon to make the two other healer job enjoyable (and in the case of AST, capable) again.


Personally, I have never enjoyed playing WHM this much (it having been my main in 1.0 and during Coil). I really like that they moved away from earth and air based spells and into unaspected damage, it feels more white-magey to me. And I just love Misery! Scholar was my previous main, and I loved how the job was designed for pre-emptive healing with powerful shields, maintaining several DoTs, and the decision making between using Aetherflow for damage or healing. With Shadowbringers, I felt they absolutely butchered everything I loved about the job. I have tried to enjoy it, but I just can't. As for Astro, I have never found it personally enjoyable, but even I am aware they lost some really cool features and both their HPS and DPS balancing is that awful right now. I'm having a hard time understanding what they were really going for with these changes, and how on earth were they happy enough to launch Scholar and Astro as they currently are.
