I feel the same way. Lv78 traits on Soil back in ShB, anybody? I had that moment: “Why is this trait exists on a BARRIER Healer??”

As for Noct AST, they could’ve just leave that section entirely intact and it won’t even be an issue today. It’s just an excuse and smokescreen attempt to fool the uninformed that there is an actual dichotomy.

the sad part is i am more convinced they just didnt want to put in the effort create / balance the stuff for noct stance. But i think it wouldve been cooler to have AST as Hybrid mabe even SGE because why not 1 pure 1 barrier and 2 flexible hybrids would be so cool in my opinion.

SGE already is a flexi healer

People focus so strongly on the fact that SGE’s GCD’s are shields but beyond that SGE barely has more mitigation than AST (kerechole is up twice as often as CU, holos+panhaima roughly equals neutral sect+sunsign) and is drowning in pure healing

SCH is really the only one that actively weaponises shields but it’s also drowning in free healing, just as WHM is really the only one that feels like a pure healer but its lack of shields acts to its detriment

If you removed pure healing from SCH you could basically right there turn the meta into “anything you want”

i think you mistaken me a bit. with flexi i mean that you have something to swap so one stance for beeing more of a mit / barrier class and one with a disgusting output of pure healing a bit what the astro been earlier

What I found funny was that when it first introduced asylum was still 6 yalm while soil was 8. Then in 5.1, they tried to lessen the advantage of soil by making asylum 8 yalm and making noct collective damage mit 20 seconds and reducing the cd from 90 to 60 seconds.

The selfish healers either need their nukes buffed every patch or they need some kind of internal multiplier that scales with gear creep over the expansion because right now the selfish healers are always behind and square takes hilariously long to even attempt to balance them. AST+SCH is still like 20% ahead of every comp deep in an off patch where people who are good at aligning raid buffs aren’t even playing the tier

Right now the two divisions of healer are just “the good ones” and “the bad ones”. You want to be a raid healer (one point to SCH and AST) and you want to be a shield healer (one point to SCH and SGE) so SCH>AST/SGE>WHM and what do you know that’s exactly how the healer balance of combined contribution to the raid has been since ShB

20%? Hyperbole? Else, the amount seems pretty fight-varied but never more than ~8% between the top AST-SCH combined rDPS and the next non-AST/SCH comp's.

More generally... there's... only two AST+SCH pairs in the top 20 for Healer Combined rDPS.

The most seen healer among the top 20 for healer combined rDPS... is Sage, in 14 out of the top 20, followed extremely closely by WHM at 13... while AST is only in 7 of the top 20 and SCH only in 6.

Even in 7.05, AST+SCH was only 4 of the top 20 versus, say, 8 WHM-SGE comps.

I have no idea how that “all stars” is calculated. When you swap from “all stars” to looking at the top combined healer DPS of each individual fight SCH+AST is all 20 of the top 20 in 1 out of 4 fights and more than 15/20 in the other 3 and in 7.05 was the all the top 20 in every fight. I can only assume the best performers in one specific fight may have not performed terribly well in another so the group that was in the top 50 in all 4 got a higher ranking than someone who got 1st in one fight but didn’t even crack the top 500 in another. But that just shows individual player consistency not the average strength of the job

As for AST+SCH being 20% ahead that was my bad that was from 7.05 where they range from 12% to 22% ahead. It’s closer to 5-10% in 7.1

Shouldn’t also forget that the addition of Philosophia further drags SGE away from its mitigative/shielding domain. That style of pankardia could’ve been what Physis is while giving us something else in lv100 yanno?

But no, for some reason they need something to enables them eek out Cure III-degree of burst healing it’s not even funny anymore given how often they’ve done this to the barrier healers: have them steal WHM’s Cure III gil.
