I'm sorry, what part of that isn't "no skill ceilings allowed"?

At least be honest about what you want. You call it a caricature because it makes Sylphies look like disingenuous liars. Which they are, but they at least understand that's not a good look.
I’ve yet to see renathras or striker even present an argument for why all 4 healers need to be 4 versions of watered down 4.0 WHM (including having useless gauges)

Let’s be super generous and say they actually are the majority and the playerbase is satisfied with healers on the whole (I’ve presented evidence to the contrary but let’s go hypothetical) there is still a strong undercurrent of being annoyed at modern healers (especially from the older playerbase), what’s stopping them from making 1 or 2 of the 4 healers something that we want

If current WHM is a 1 and HW SCH is a 100 on the scale of difficulty then current AST is about a 15 and current SCH is about a 7, why is it impossible to conceive one of them could be a 75, not every healer needs to accomodate people who spam diagnosis and call it a playstyle
