I do think SCH “deserved” to be pegged down a notch, but not by the cost of removing so much of their identity and play style that separated them from the other healers.
It's not a unpopular opinion, the card system is divisive though, it only looks like an unpopular opinion due to the general rule, your more likely to be vocal about something when it makes you unhappy. There are plenty of people who are content with how all 3 healers currently are and thus say nothing a lot of the time but there is no way to get that data without mandatory serveys, as someone could be running all content on healers but are unhappy so participation in content is flawed data, thus the only see able data is a lot of complaints about healers.

That said there are major issues with Ast that should've been worked on by now and the fact it doesn't get mentioned at all is abysmal on SE's end. I am of course talking about the controller issues, this should have been allieviated or at least talked about trying to allieviate this issue by now. It is horrendous trying to optimise Ast on controller in raids especially for any length of time especially if you wipe early on. Sleeve Draw needs a rework because I doubt they would touch the targeting system which is where the issue stems from and the reason it didn't bother most people before the time extensions and Royal Road by making all cards mandatory single target they created the 1st job to give me hand cramps and I played sch in ARR/HW/nin in SB gg SE gg.
