Remove bigger shield overwriting by lesser shield (I don't know for what purpose it was done tbh... It looks like a bug to me, really).
Don't make us more DPS, we are healers after all.
Please add a gap closer.
Please add an opportunity to use mouse hover targeting without making a macros. Can really become a QoL function for healers, especially for Astro and their cards. (https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...over-targeting)
Also will be nice to have more fairy glamours.

I don't like SCH to have a gap closer, to be honest. What i want(impossible to happen but a man can dream) is for Art of War to have the same potency as broil... i mean, it's very risky to be at melee range so might as well give it to SCH. They can remove Ruin 2 and I will not miss it.

Sage has a thing? PLEASE CAN WE HAVE IT TOO YES I LOVE HOMOGENIZATION OH GOD YES PLEASE WE ALL NEED GAP CLOSERS LIKE THE TANKS AND SAGE I WOULD IRL POG SO HARD I AM INCAPABLE OF PROPERLY POSITIONING AS A CASTER

MORE HOMOGENIZATION PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WHY ARENT THEY ALL JUST THE SAME JOB PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE

Axe Freecure and Enhanced Benefic. They do nothing besides being a noob trap for Sprouts who think it's worth fishing for them by spamming Cure/Benefic. If we're intent on keeping the general mechanic, slap it on the jobs' respective damage abilities instead to teach people that they should be DPSing when not healing.

I would love it if they diversified Astro cards but that would unfortunately need an overhaul of fight design, otherwise the "correct" answer will always be a damage buff.

I also don't think healer kits neccessarily need a change. The fights just need to force us to utilize them. I would like if certain mechanics required certain types of heals. Right now shield healers are just flat out better than regen healers at literally everything.

All I want is to not spend the vast majority of time in basically every piece of content repeatedly pressing the same key over and over again. If healing isn't going to be important and damage rotations are going to be minimal, it would at least be nice to have some incentives to vary things up. Healing skills that cause splash damage, apply buffs other than regen, interact more with the job gauge, etc. I'll take anything to have reasons to vary my spells and top off players even if they're not in any real danger.

For Astro specifically - which I'm not at endgame with this job yet so my wishes may be dumb - but if I got my dream changes, I would say that I would love it if the basic act of playing a card (having it color coded to a specific role) stays the same but there was additional effects specific to each card that reward giving cards to specific players. In particular, I'd love if the cards you drew interacted with your other skills. Like, maybe instead of playing a card directly, you instead cast a skill with the card slotted and depending on the type of skill you used and the card you have in stock it would cause a different effect. Like if I drew Arrow then it could extend the range and cause a crit on the next damage spell I cast or grant a shield on the next heal, or if I drew Spire it could cause the skill to create an AOE at the target's position that could spread the DPS buff the card usually grants to nearby players. I think keeping the overall reliability while giving each card flavorful and impactful effects would make me the most satisfied.

Legitimately based.

Sounds too creative for SE. We're more likely just going to get OGCD Pneuma (without the damage) that dispels Eos and can't be used while Seraph is summoned.
