XIV EW Job-Gameplay is Terrible... Why?

[ty_taurus]

Knew it was bad, but only recently I tried healer? It feels terrible only after a few days...

My job got hit with eight simplifications ( give or take I'm losing count honestly ) and I tried looking up the casts done on my Job on why its so bad in late Endwalker patches or why it feels so more horrendous...

You should see Scholar's job change history. Not to play the game of "who has it worse," because I definitely feel for Samurai players out there, but imagine your favorite job just getting gutted expansion after expansion after expansion. Scholar was, I believe, an accidental masterpiece in ARR and HW, and while there are good elements that have been added to Scholar, it has never been quite as beautiful in respects to the current content as it was back then. SB was tangential to HW, and I think the changes to Miasma II (after it was taken away and then returned early in SB) were a great change despite the loss of Bio as a separate DOT to Bio II. Ironically Expedient is one of the most interesting things Scholar has ever gotten. But time and time again, they have gutted Scholar's two most prominent pillars of identity: DOTs and Faeries. Selene was publicly guillotined with Shadowbringers, and Scholar has gone from having at least four DOTs within its own kit (excluding cross class Aero) to having one unnecessarily long one.

And then there's Sage who, if you're familiar with Super Smash Bros, is the Dr. Mario to Scholar's Mario--a character with admittedly different properties and a different down special, but is dangerously close to being an echo fighter. And it's worth mentioning because context clues indicate that Sage was going to be something so much greater, but was kneecapped right before EW could officially start.
