keep up the good work devs

The worst part is that they just gave the same reason from SB of wanting to balance the current healers. If they seriously can't balance 3 jobs in 4 years maybe they need a new balance team

Healer balance has always proven to be a very difficult subject.
The main issue comes down to the fact that each healer has a very unique niche where they excel. You'll have an entire raid tier where White Mage is dumpster tier and then suddenly there are 30% more WHM than AST clearing UWU and 60% more in UCOB. If a class is better people will use it and with the healers all having their own niche it's very hard for one not to be better than the other.
Frankly the only way to balance out healers is through some very heavy homogenization as much as I would dislike that.

Personally I think they need to stop using Savage raids comps as the litmus test for class balance. The proportion of players that actually engage in the content is minimal comparatively. If the job is balanced, and capable of doing the content it should be enough. Expecting all jobs to be equal just hurts the over all game, and makes development overly difficult clearly.
