Macrocosmos completely invalidating the P3S heal check is stupid

[elioaiko]

And then what? The Devs continue to ignore WHM and the Sylphies go "hey, WHM is ok in p3s now!" and it continues being the most popular class on all fights, solidifying its position as being "fine".

Exactly, nerfing Macro will only prove that some people don't care about healer balance but to want everything else to be on WHM's level when that level is rock bottom and barebones.

It being popular is so sad be a use it's what the devs use to see if it's in trouble. ShB 5.0 AST had an abysmal play rate because of how badly they balanced AST's kit. And then the devs buffed AST.

I'm not saying for everyone to stop playing WHM so they'll see but know that unless people actually complain hard enough. Other than that, the whole "WHM is fine, AST is just OP" is rather tone deaf because nerfing AST only causes it to have an even lower playrate along with a weaker healing kit than WHM.

Let's remember that 5.0 people actively locked out AST because it's healing didn't justify the cards.

Nah you right though. Look over at the DPS side of things. Unless your job is named Summoner, every major rework has been preceded by people just outright abandoning a job. (In the case of SMN though it was 8 non stop years of complaining that finally brought about it's rework). Those buffs AST got in 5.0? Cause no one was playing it.

WHM will never get the attention it needs as long as players keep playing the job. Which may mean this argument is lost from the start. But saying to nerf AST's awesome ability is not the way to go.
