AST/SCH is still the undisputed meta pairing.

Now I don't think this is actually because the jobs themselves are overpowered

On the contrary, I think it's because from a design philosophy standpoint, they are exactly what every raid needs them to be which is why no other combination can reach the same ceiling and hasn't been able to since Stormblood.

I think it's high time that the devs stopped kidding themselves that loading WHM/SGE with more healing or personal damage is ever going to make a dent in the flexibility and utility that AST/SCH has long brought to the table.

The only way they ever get other options and pairings is simple.

They need to even the playing field.

Look at what makes AST/SCH such a "go to" pairing, why does the raiding scene prefer them always? What utility can we potentially add to the other two to put them in contention?

Be aware, I'm not asking for nerfs, nerfing is not the way forward, I'm simply asking them to consider utility options for WHM/SGE that puts them as contending options instead of how it currently is now.

Because right now? After 4 years of much the same pairing reigning supreme, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm frankly more than a little tired of it and dying to see meaningful change instead of haphazardly attempting to break the pairing up with nerfs that will never work because the one thing they bring that the other two healers can never match.
