The only thing that will balance healers is the effect of Balance (the card) being nerfed into the ground or spread to all healers in some way.

In general I'm against homogenization of a specific role, especially healers which I love, but Balance is the largest issue at the current time standing in the way of healer eqiality.

Personally I don't care whether they nerf the ability or give a counterpart to WHM and SCH, SCH already even has one if they would just increase the duration or potency of Chain Stratagem. They could kill of PI for WHM and replace it with some sort of party wide buff. Hell, for people who have played the WHM story that actually makes more sense as something to gain from the final instanced battle.

Either way there is no way that we will see healers represented equally going forward without one of those 2 things happening.

Clearly SCH needs more help in other areas but in that case I have every confidence that it is coming in 4.05. Either way not what the topic is about.
