Healer role design change?

IThe idea of diversifying the different types of tank mitigation is something that could be interesting though.

It's the same with healing for me. I think it'd be a lot more interesting if each healer focused more intensely on a specific healing style. Burst healing for white mage. Flat barriers for scholar. Regens and delayed heals for astrologian. Staggered barriers (Haima) for sage.

I just don't like how the two "barrier healers" get the most mileage out of their regens, and their barriers are almost their least desirable tools on their hotbars.

I know the shield healers are actually more mitigation healers but they could have at least played into the class fantasy a bit more by giving kerachole like a 10% shield on application rather than indivisible 10% mitigation so it actually feels “shieldy”, in this sense I don’t mind the buff to holos

The fact that shield healers only ever want to press holos, panhaima and consolation in terms of actually shields is strange game design
