And no you can’t just go “yeah but you were annoyed because your main got lobotomised, but MCH mains don’t see a problem with new SCH so it’s all fine”, job satisfaction crashing after a major change is the cleanest way of showing a change was unpopular, and the fact that it didn’t recover from 5.0-5.25 shows it was a sustained bad decision

And no adding those points up says absolutely nothing because you are counting people multiple times, 750k or so people have SCH at level 90, about 850k or so have PLD at 90, adding all 4 healer bars together and going “see look at all the healers” is not how you interpret that data because then it all comes down to (as you even said in your “interpretation”) how many jobs are within the role

And I said “kinda okay” with the caveat that raids don’t work without healer mains and that data is not a good look for healers, there is little to no data for endwalker I’ve found the most up to date data there is, but if you want to wave that away as “old data” when none of the healers have functionally changed in any meaningful way (no you pre-empting that argument doesn’t invalidate it) then go ahead, it’s obvious that you don’t really care what I have to say

On the subject of expedient if you actually believe that people were clowning on the skill and not how square chose to display it then that’s a reading comprehension issue
