Ngl, that's what I don't like about the current design. First we make this arbitrary distinction between pure and shield healers only to then give them the other "ability category" on top. And if it's not 100% symmetrical raiders will request it to be changed.

Pure healers shouldn't have shields, shield healers shouldn't have HoT/strong healing (at least not to the amount they currently do) yet SCH has the strongest regen if I recall correctly and AST's lvl 100 ability is a shield I think. I don't even know where to start with that one.

I know the devs have good intentions but this pleases no-one. What's the point of a job system where you literally change at the press of a button if all must play so similarly? Not a fan.
