So just by looking into statistics, there was no reason for SE to change much.

hm i dont see any whm in these groups..

This analysis suggests otherwise. Scholar remained fairly consistent throughout Heavensward while Astro pulled ahead significantly the higher parse percentile climbed. Checking overall rankings on FFLogs based on parse uploaded, White Mage averaged approximately half their other healer counterparts through Creator; a substantially drop from Midas where they averaged more than double Astro.

You get crappy healing and lots of utility or you get good healing and crappy utility, pick one.

......and this is why people are complaining, as this seems to be the Devs views. And it's completely wrong for their own game - unless 4.0 has sweeping changes to damage received.

Except AST and SCH don't have crappy healing. That's the entire point.
