Hey look lets go off topic the crafter and gatherer classes are barely different from each other. Other than the burst Idea healer I thought of there honestly no way to make healers too different.
I also agree that WHM and AST are too similar on the healing front (though not as similar as SGE/SCH), I think people harp on about SGE more because it’s a new class they supposedly designed from the ground up and then released it with half its abilities being copies of SCH’s, it has its niches and unique abilities 100% but I think that’s what people get hung up on

WHM and AST also have the advantage of while their GCD’s are copy past their oGCD “bread and butter” heals are rather different, WHM focuses on its lilys while AST rotates CU, CO and star as its core healing, they really don’t have a lot of oGCD overlap (unlike say sacred soil, indom, whispering dawn, lustrate etc)

Don’t get me wrong I’m not arguing to not give spreadlo to SGE because I don’t like SGE, I’m arguing because I don’t want the classes to be even more similar, it’s why I also don’t want SCH to have a gap closer or pulsing shields
