Gutting Astro... again.....

I don't say this lightly, but whoever is in charge of designing healer jobs (if there even is one), needs to never touch healers again. The only good change for healers in the past 5 years is SCH's pet AI, everything else just keeps getting worse and worse.

Unfortunately, as you might have realized, there is not a dedicated healer designer as far as we're aware. Rather, it's a bunch of tank and DPS mains. Which explains why healers keep getting the things they do every expansion: A Tank/DPS doesn't care for the minutiae of what a Healer does in their downtime between heals, they just care that 'the healer kept me alive', so by providing more tools to heal with, they increase the chance the healer can heal damage easier, and therefore the Tank/DPS gets to keep having fun. Think about it from that perspective, and suddenly all their questionable additions and decisions suddenly make sense (well, they don't make sense ofc, but you can see 'why they added them' is what I mean)

They need to hire an outside consulting firm to give them a load of fresh new ideas to build off of, or something. Rather than rely on 'the people who put the healers into the state they're in', being the ones to get them back out of said hole. As we can see with AST's cards, they are much more likely to just dig themselves even deeper

But they'll get vote dismissed if they start learning how to heal Extremes+ D:
