    If they are going to change AST to a direct healer like the WHM, it's going to need a huge rework. All of the healers are in pretty dire need of one, including whm in my opinion. For several expansions they've taken spells away from WHM only to give them back at a higher level combined with some other ability they took away. They really don't seem to like/know what to do with healers... and the new Sage job does not look that impressive. They need to make healers fun to play and right now... they're really not and they are painful to level through the main story quests.

    I suppose the DPS class I'm most interested in seeing what they do with is Summoner.

    "Then what is magic for?" Prince Lir demanded wildly. "What use is wizardry if it cannot save a unicorn?"
    Schmendrick did not turn his head. With a touch of sad mockery in his voice, he said, "That's what heroes are for."

    Defnitely. People speculate that only AST will have heavy changes, but the healers are the group that really needs more cohesion between themselves, tanks coming in second and then dpsers (more when the subject is support).

    I really think they will take the opportunity to do more than just superficial changes to the other healers. Some more than others, but defnitely we'll see something meaningful to make all four of them work in a more cohesive way.

    One thing that really bothers me, nor just about healers, but a lot of jobs out there, is that ARR and HW job quests are making reference (even more in EW) with job actions that are nothing like their original versions anymore. I wonder if they will go back to retcon some stuff.
