Would be nice if the distinction between pure and shield healers is that pure healers have damage refunds and are required to GCD heal while shield healers have no damage refund at all and optimal gameplay requires you to heavily micromanage your tools (fairy and kardia) so that you're not forced to GCD heal unnecessarily.
I wish they would lean into the fairy more as well but at least the fairy is actually a valid consideration for SCH like lilys are for WHM (I don’t like the lily system but I can appreciate it)

SGE and to a lesser extend AST fall over because their unique systems are a mess, SGE’s kardia is completely pointless, it was obviously meant to copy embrace but at least embrace is also tied to the fairy which has other uses, kardia is literally self and soteria, AST’s problem is its cards have no link to damage and they can feel like useless filler depending on the situation
