Which has nothing to do with SCH having no identity/bad design/a lacking kit.



Assuming they make content reward having an abundance of healing SCH will be favored, in content where you want more damage Sage will be favored. This seems fine to me, especially considering you can still take SCH in optimization settings and you can still take Sage in prog settings. You just won't be the best (in theory.)


Why does SCH have to be the best at both? Its okay for a job to be unfavored in certain situations. Especially so if despite that it is still viable.
Eh, I'd argue that all the healers currently have bad designs and will probably continue to be badly designed with the exception of maybe sage.

Healers have way too many healing tools for the amount of healing they actually need to do and barely any damage tools for the other 90% of the time where they're doing damage. Sure in terms of both numbers and job identity nothing is wrong, but playing a healer just feels... soulless?

But hey, maybe SCH and SGE have barriers that stack and SCH retains its current healing capabilities, making the meta SCH + SGE, and people will stop running WHM and AST, which IMO would be hilarious but also sad.
