This is something that Ast and WHM couldn't do, and was a part of why SCH was prefered so much over Noct Ast aswell (still rng outside of the pull fishing crit indeed, but when it happened, that was a huge and safe plus).
Introducing a forced crit on several abilities while also nerfing critlo was a good move on their part I think.

So not a question of being scared or anything I think.
But from a healer perspective as a whole, I'd say, it was more for the balance.
You're correct. Its absolutley a balance thing.

As far as being on topic. I think sch is still decently designed overall. The only major thing I can think of that scholar feels lacking in is not having a good emphasis on the fae guage. I'm rather fond of the concept of scholar being all about cycling your mp, aetherflow, and fae gauge in a nice loop to optimize both your damage and healing. To me sch has evolved from being a primarily shield focused healer to a resource and a cooldown management healer, so I wouldnt mind seeing them work out a system that further incentivizes creating said loop of resources.
