Even in early live letters you can find yoshi making statements about healers aren't meant to dos they're meant to heal...

do I agree with it? Nope.

I loved early scholar and hurting things. But agree or not that was the devs philosophy for quite some time.
Then the devs are incorrect. Yoshi-P is incorrect. "Healers are only meant to heal" is a philosophy that disintegrates in sunlight. Anytime I hear a developer make a statement like it, I think "oh, so you don't understand how healing classes work in RPGs then. Got it."
