The problem with that is that lowering the SWA scaling makes it so the supposedly healer classes will need to now further bass boost their SWA to compensate, or it will just be a direct nerf to most heals without compensation.

An adjustment to how it scales will benefit everyone and perhaps not cause things to change.

Many things in SL2 can be given the leeway of build freedom, but healing is and has always been a sore spot for many. It was cool when it didn't have cooldowns, since dedicated healers could spend their momentum on that and feel like they're helping, rather than 'do this once, significantly, and be a battle changer'.

Which is why I tend to like how Staff of Mending works with Elves. It allows them to invest all of their turn in constantly healing someone. Good callback to the past.
