Another example of blatant Double Standard when it comes to balance

[Ransu]

AST and DRG changes got delayed because they were not adjustments. They are planning full reworks. I can't comment on AST as I don't play healers, but DRG is literally fine the way it is right now.

[CidHeiral]

They should push back the DRG rework to "never."

[Deveryn]

To me, OP's two quotes just sound like PLD will be receiving significant adjustments, while AST/DRG will receive a possible SMN-like job redesign. In which case there's no blatant Double Standard.
But I guess this is all up to one's interpretation of both quotes.

Does make me worried for 7.0 DRG though, considering how SMN turned out.

DRG is not a pet class with shitty AI. Stop worrying.

also keep in mind current new SUM is basically a template of how they'll build upon for future expansions so here's hoping it gets a lot more interesting than what it is now.

I like it, but its definitely too brain dead

That's what people huffed for copium on Healers in ShB. Seeing how nothing changed with EW, I have serious doubts they will introduce any complexity back into SMN come 7.0

2 new skills next expansion thats all you're getting. People that think they'll get new primals can keep dreaming

ShB healers and ShB MCH huffing the mad copium

If you are lucky you might get one more button at level 100

Meanwhile, SCH and AST just dominating the healer category.

I mean, they're the superior options to their alternatives. Whm is an easier but weaker ast, Sge is an easier but weaker sch. You can thank homogenisation for that.

Whoever decided buff vs selfish healers in a role with 1 button spam was a good idea is probably the same person who made healers the way they are right now

[Tlamila]

AST and DRG are suffering from... well, I'm not sure how they're suffering, exactly. .

DRG is apparently suffering from success. They think it's just too perfect right nw and so they don't know what to do with it in future expansions, so for the sake of future expansions they're gonna make it less complete, from what they said.
AST is suffering from...being too complicated for the solo msq crowd I guess. Plus healers aren't allowed to press more than 1 button while not healin so AST with cards has way too many.

And yeah, PLD seems too unique for their tastes and that must be fixed asap cause we can't have that sort of madness around here.
