The “make a good foundation and improve on it later” philosophy really has shown itself to never actually apply given that’s exactly the line they used on ShB MCH and the post SB healers

The job is a problem because it’s already too rigid to fit anything in that will meaningfully change the job

They did nothing to improve the job in EW but MCH actually has space in its rotation to fit stuff, SMN doesn’t, it has 1 free GCD in a 60 second loop and parts pulled directly from the old SMN (like pheonix) have actually regressed
