You're just conflating the two jobs because they both are barrier healers. None of scholar's output is based on damage dealt, and that's the primary identity of sage. Even the ways their barriers work are completely different.

2) it's not, in the end it's up to the devs to decide who they want to take seriously. Going off what you've been posting, it's a very hard sell that there is homogenization in this game.
So both barrier healers have a means of applying a passive regen that when factoring in fairy potency is literally designed to be functionally exactly the same potency. Both have a button to temporarily buff the output and both have functionally 100% uptime on said regen but since SGE has to actually do damage to attain said regen (even though they are functionally never not going to be doing damage) then it’s not homogenisation?

I’m sorry but your definition of homogenisation is literally “if the jobs aren’t exactly the same sans their name they aren’t homogenised”

That’s such a wildly restrictive definition as to be functionally useless in discussion
