    We're gonna have to agree to disagree on that one. I think a job being really good at everything is a huge red flag. That's textbook overpowered.

    Trust me, I fully understand your view point, I just do disagree with it. My grounds is that AST only feels OP because they are the only healer in the game that has any semblance of a well built kit (this isn't to denigrate the issues it has with its card kit many AST players have, or some of its superfluous abilities). The rest of the healers are just missing something or poorly built in general, be it Sage missing recovery buttons or rDPS support, SCH's aetherflow kit being at war with itself at high level play, or White Mage's... everything.

    To put a real life spin on it, when you have only one worker who is prepared enough to properly do a job on a whole team, that worker will look far better then everyone there by a long shot. The goal should not be to put limits in place to make that one worker less efficient so the other workers don't look bad, instead you want to do training (in this case, reworks), to get the other workers up to par.

    Also from just a playability standpoint, Macro as an ability just FEELS good. It feels impactful and powerful. Personally it's the only healing ability in the game that feels this way to me. So overall I'm just against it being touched. I instead just look at these other abilities healers have that seem so bad but have potential. I would love for Lilly Bell to be transformed into something that White Mage players have full agency over, that they can choose to pulse it themselves rather then wait for the damage to hit.
