Why is the healer class basically a one spell dps class?

That was said during the job actions video for shadowbringers. Yoshi said he wanted to kill the meta because some jobs were left out of savage and he wanted every job to be viable so that’s why they stripped bard, Astro and scholar of their utility because they were meta for years. I don’t agree with it but it is what it is. I hope they learned their lesson. All this expansion there have been complaints about sch, Astro and bard. We will see if endwalker fixes what shadowbringers destroyed

I don't get why they decided it was better to simply strip the utility rather than give utility to the jobs that didn't have it. WHM should've simply gotten some sort of party buff to make up for the difference rather than strip AST and SCH so badly.

You can't even make the "it's for the newbies" argument when it's not like newer players would even use the utility until they're comfortable with the base mechanics anyways. At least aside from AST, but you went for AST specifically for the cards anyways.

And for the DPS, I mean, utility is amazing and all, but it doesn't work without some selfish DPSs to maximize its use in the first place. Though that would depend on the balance of output, I don't see how it's that bad as long as the dev team has some baseline rules when it comes to designing the jobs vs the content.
