There was a lot of potential in evolving healers to provide unique buffs from one another but they instead decided to just give them the same basic toolkit with a different shade of color from one another and call it a day.

Since they decided to leave only purely mitigation tools for healers and lowered their DPS rotation to a single button, Healers have become needlessly dull. I just want more to do
It's a shame that Virus and Disable were cut in order to give utility to DPS classes. I'm not against DPS having utility, but it's not like it made healing harder having damage mitigation debuffs. Shadowflare getting cut at all was yet another thing Scholars received that they never asked for. You lost me at the knockback though. Bosses were immune to it and it could actually disrupt your melee allies in situations where you could knockback an enemy. I'd prefer keeping Heavy in some fashion for mechanics like the adds in A3S since that serves a similar purpose without ejecting enemies from your party's range.

As for the AST cards, I do think they needed a change, but the overly sterile cards of ShB really wasn't the right answer.
