What if Tanks were designed like Healers?

Ofc the issue with getting the other "grown up" healers deeper and more complex deepus gameplay, is then the "Complexity reward" associated with them. 3 out of 4 healers are complicated and thus logically and reasonably demand a potency reward, more work=more impact.
That leaves the 1 simple 1 button 1 dot healer as an outlier in terms of "deserved" potency.

I guess in the sense of fairness, either all healers get a rework that gives them depth to justify the balance between them or none do?

That does seem to be the logic of why we're in this predicament. Literally no one was asking for the Shadowbringers SCH changes. The job was most liked gutted specifically because the idea of making WHM competitive with SCH somehow would ruin its identity. AST changes at least were an attempt at addressing an actual concern some players had in regards to card effect consistency; I don't think there's a more tone deaf and shallow way of trying to address that, but at least it was an attempt at addressing something.

Fair? Or fair™?

We can't make WHM strong enough to compete with SCH without ruining WHM's identity™, so we are going to ruin SCH's identity to preserve WHM's identity™
