sch+ast wasnt the only decent comp. when people say it its mostly hyperbole. Whm+sch was a decent healing pair as well. it was just mostly better for prog and was usually the comp in world 1st clears. however Whm+sch was actually found in some top speedkills in Stormblood, so its not like sch ast was so overpowering that it was impossible to compete.

sch+ast wasnt "too strong" imo, but it was easily the best comp because whm lacked utility/damage and noct lacked mitigation. for whm ast to be on par with the other healer comps whm wouldve needed to do more damage to compensate not having chain strat, and noct ast would've needed enough mitigation/healing to compensate not having soil. but they never bothered touching either the whole expansion

had they ever actually adressed those issues then maybe we wouldn't be where we are now.
