Let's look at SCH, one of their core aspects is the fairy, it's supported by lore that Eos and Selene are 2 different aspects and are meant to do different things, they removed all of Selene's abilities in ShB. Now let's look at AST, their core aspect is the cards, the lore states that The Bole has a protective effect, 6% damage boost doesn't seem very protective to me.

They have been destroying the core aspects of the healers since ShB, not only the damage side, but the utility side too.
Job identity and lore took a backseat a long time ago. Most notably when they did the "low level revamp" where certain job quests required a certain skill and they moved it to a later level and you literally couldn't complete said quest.

It was hilariously inept, which is par for the job design team and the QA team sadly. Mostly QA, it's like they're just rubber stamping everything the job design team does.
