But I’d like to see a healer that focuses more on the supportive role. Like, weaker personal dps and healing than the other jobs, but making good use of buffs to compensate for that weakness (i.e 2.0 Scholar, at least in theory lol)
This deserves to stay on the current page and is IMHO the solution SE have been overlooking pretty much since AST didn't go further down the buff rabbit hole after HW.

I still think the simple act of taking a healer's DPS potency, packing it up in buff form and then being able to slap it on someone else is the party trick that would solve a bunch of issues all at once. There absolutely has to be a way to do that in a manner where it doesn't spiral out of control with buffs any more than existing 2 minute buff windows already do.
