I think that was kinda the intention in SB with WHM and saying it was a 'pure healer', but it didn't really work out that way in practice, as AST had to have enough throughput to clear content too

If it's their intention to make Pure Healers feel work, they A: need to stop giving so much Pure Healing capability to the Barrier Healers, and B: need to make a way for Pure Healing to be a better solution than a Barrier Healer, because as it stands, SE's idea of a Heal Check tends to turn out to be a Mit Check more often than not. SCH SGE can handle any throughput demand we've seen thus far in the game, and in some cases, are the better option because they have more access to Mitigations

Like, give us Heal Absorb effects that work like anti-shields, protecting our 'missing HP' from healing in inverse way to how shields protect our 'actual HP' from incoming damage. Mitigation has its place, because it reduces the incoming damage, to buy time for the Heal Absorb to be healed through. Barriers block incoming damage, buying more time. Pure Healing, however, is the way to more quickly deal with the Heal Absorb and get back to 'actually healing'
