Though maybe they could die damage to mitigation (as in if shield pops, it deals damage, otherwise its just flat mitigation).
(I know we are going off topic, but Im gonna be the lazy one and NOT make or find a separate Thread. Call the police, Ill fite 'dem :P )

I think he also said that the Optimal choice is gonna be to Balance a Shield Healer with a Pure Healer. I dont know if that means they are gonna do some balancing or set things up to where Having 2 Shield healers; who lets assume that have more DPS options then Pure Healers....will be a detriment because by taking out a Pure Healer you run a risk of not surviving some encounters and challenges. Like you can only Mitigate so much damage, now you need REAL heals.
Id like it if they could find a way to do that, because there will always be a meta, but I think every Job should be viable in any composition. Plus it would just be weak if Scholar and Sage become mandatory and everyone sleeps on WHT and Now Ast.
