Rai_Takara you are correct the healers are most balanced they have ever been at this time.

And that is a problem.

How do you deal with the Asts complaints about
-cards and divination being underwhelming that you need a 3rd party illegal tool to see how much they do
-controller issues
-Sleece draw

You cannot take personal damage away due to people complaining (5.1 buffs only buffed personal damage for Ast and is the reason Ast now highest rDPS healer)

Controller issues require either targeting system or card system reworked(this could just be adding a few skills or reworking a couple of them) either is expansion level work


Sleeve Draw would still need to give the same amount of cards or the same amount of potential dmg up.

The devs unintentionally pigeonholed themselves with their balance because increasing Ast(remember people were scared whm was too high, now Ast is higher) would result in tanks and whm and sch needing buffs. Now your looking at 7 jobs rather than 1.

It being a perfectly balanced system is a hindrance to improvements across the board as any minor tweak if there is a prominent complaint(I purposely picked the ones that can still use current card system but are talked about a lot) could shatter that balance horribly.
