True, but perhaps they should be making the people who enjoyed AST happy. The people who liked playing the "busy" healer with its complex openers and rewarding optimization. We have WhM as the simple healer and ScH as an in-between. They could put their focus into developing and polishing 3 unique playstyles instead of destroying them.

It's a bad idea to try and please the crowd that doesn't actually enjoy a class. The people who want bits of AST, like its mobility or it's incredible healing, but don't want to play the class itself to get that. The only option there is ripping the class away from its fans, gutting it and then handing it over on a plate to the people who didn't even like it that much and probably still won't like it long-term.
