They have been very fond of that. Seraph and Temperance are basically reskins of old abilities with a little tweak. I can see that happening again.

I could see more heals easily being added. Remember they think we constantly heal. We'll of course have at least one new ability slot taken with our dps spell/dot "upgrade" and probably another with a trait that upgrades a current ability, which leaves 3 new abilities at most. I can see WhM getting another lily heal, like a shield or regen and SCH getting a single target Fairy gauge heal.

AST or SCH, anything could happen with them, just look at DRK. They couldn't get it right in Stormblood and ended up re-doing it entirely into some sort of half-Warrior clone. WhM would be the likely one to clone for healers. I wouldn't put it past them to trim AST's card oGcd's down a lot, like removing Sleeve Draw, Redraw and always giving you a seal you don't have with Draw. They might also make SCH's minion more automatic except for Fairy gauge and seperate Energy Drain from Aetherflow.

Now of course, there's no point in doomsaying too much when we don't know what they have planned, but this is speculation based on AST changes, lack of communication and the fact it's unlikely we'll have a proper heal developer in 6.0. Unless something changes soon, and it hasn't yet, things will only get worse. The best we can do is continue to make ourselves heard and not give up.
