Please continue bringing up AST and SCH issues.

And thats why we are never getting a fourth healer xD

In fact, they should have released a 4th healer instead of another dps.
Why ?
Because like they said for tank, 3 is not a good number for balance. Without GBN, imagine balance now 3 tanks for Main and Off spot. It would have been more difficult (but less than for healers).
The mistake of SE was to think that going for one direction "Pure" for every healer instead of doing 2 directions (like it was in the past) "Pure" and "Shield" was the right solution.
Having WHM/AST as Pure and SCH/4th healer as Shield is easier to balance and most importantly avoid to gut the identity, kit and fun of every job.
This direction we are in now, has maybe begun with the apparition of AST doing both Pure/Shield aspect.
They need to erase Nocturnal Stance (which didn't work for 4 years !) to move on !

with how badly they messed up healers im glad we didnt get a 4th

say they give ppl what they want we are back to Step 1
they wont release a 4th healer cause the current 3 do what they should do
and the circle jerk will repeat. aside from the sarcasm and jokes

People do want a 4th healer, but they don't want it in current climate. If all the healers were both balanced, or at least close to balanced, and fun/unique to play, EVERYONE would love to have a 4th healer to thrown into the mix. As is now, the 4th healer would just be another WHM with a small gimmick that barely distinguishes it from the other 3 healers, and nobody wants that.

As a White Mage healer, I'm actually beginning to seethe now...

My SCH is fine thanks, very happy with it. My only real complaint was losing Energy Drain and that's back now. Please don't change anything SE. WHM is an absolute blast of fun to play though I'm not up to 80 yet. Can't comment on AST but my friends who have levelled it are happy with the changes that just happened and aren't looking for more. Overall, SE, judging by the comments of folks in my FC and crossworld linkshells, most players are fine with the healers as they are. It's just habitual forum users who are unhappy

That's kind of the problem though; i.e. with all 3 healers now more of less the same (pure heals with boring downtime-kits) you are either going to like all of them or like none of them. So yes, you may be fine with the way healers are, but for people that previously enjoyed SCH and / or AST (and found WHM boring) there is no longer a choice.

Never mind that the first response pointed out that WHM also needed fixes and there was a lot of agreement...

Guys, it doesn't matter whether they're a troll. We gain nothing by engaging with them. We've had this conversation. There's no point repeating ourselves.

True, honestly. They've gotten me on a couple of posts, about 1 or 2 of them, where they came off as genuine and said something that actually made sense. Guess now it's literally just bait.

[Saefinn]

And the only reason there are so many AST and SCH threads is because there aren't many WHM's making any threads.

As a SCH, I'm not gonna make a Whm thread with what needs changing simply because I don't think it's fair that me, a SCH, should say how WHM should play. Even then, the thread I made included WHM.

Like someone else posted here, Balance was the one everyone wanted so I think the best course of action would've been to remove the +damage altogheter. I'm not familiar with the lore of the card, but it could anything else. Like a convalescenec effect on the target.

Was it really everyone? Because if that truly was the case, more than half the AST mains wouldn't have been upset that every card was turned into a balance card. In terms of lore, the effects were part of the actual lore. It's why they were explained in detail when doing the early AST quests.
