Heavensward as a base would be fantastic for a lot of jobs, but could it be improved? absolutely. Not every job needs a gauge for example, drk was at its best in hw, the moment it got a gauge in sb it went downhill and its only just got its invul to be usable by itself after 7 years.

The main problems with job design across the board is SE not communicating, SE not having anyone who mains tanks or healers, and actively dumbing down and homogenising the game to the point where as you say this is more like babywalker.
Over the years healers especially have suffered, we've had years of good reasonable feedback and SE ignored every last element of it until this patch where they made lilies dps neutral at last.

Last night I tried PvP as a WHM for the first time in years. I was hoping all the changes would make it a better experience.

My first concern is seeing everything limited to a single hotbar and the heals limited to very long CDs.

After going in, everything was moving so fast, it was a chaotic mess. I had no idea what was going on and I was dead in seconds. Once I got back up, dead in seconds. If I got in range to use my spells, dead in seconds.

It felt like I was watching a video of Fortnite and avert one match, I walked away demoralized. I’m going back to healing Savage, that’s more fun for me than that deathfest. I’ll look at Ultimate when my group finishes P4S.

If they change raid healing into what I saw in PvP, I will sadly have to look for a new game. That is not I want healers to become.
