Whatever happened to “We don’t balance fights around healers needing to do damage?”

That didn't seem to be a problem when they removed scholar's damage buttons. There were people who liked having those buttons.

God, I remember when Shadowbringers first dropped and I was excited to play through the story again on Scholar since it was my favorite job at the time.

I took one look at the skill changes, counted up all the damage buttons and everything that was taken away, and immediately swapped to being a dps main.

Sad in hindsight but things haven't gotten better since

The only thing we can do is quit playing healers. After all, we're no longer their target audience. There's no depth or room to optimise healer gameplay at all because they're tailored to new players. They made both the skill cap and skill floor as low as humanly possible.
