How would they even make another healer job though?

Withholding new features for a dream of perfect balance is something that will never come out as a net positive.

I honestly don't see this big problem with healers, i wish someone would tell me exactly what's wrong despite the damage output/rotation.



With that said, if they added chemist, for example, it could be a healer based on instant casts (maybe lower potency to make up for it) and therefore more mobile. I mean, it's not only about how the healing works, but how the spells are delivered. Different animations give a different feel to the jobs. Saying things like Scholar is both heals + shields is a reductive way to refer to the job. Scholar has an emphasis on the Fairy pet. That is it's fantasy and uniqueness. If you're gonna tell me that the Fey AoE heal is just the same as Medica from WHM, well in the end result it is, but the way it is achieved, isn't.

The true but facetious answer?

WHM: Nothing
SCH: Muh Green DPS!
AST: Muh useless fluff cards! (Oh I suppose I was undertuned at the start of 5.0, but who cares! I lost my worthless Bole card /cryface)

I think I got the gist of it.
