While it doesn’t have to be one or the other this spacific situation is just a raised skill floor.
This is because problems have been added but not solutions.
The skill floor is what you need to do
The skill ceiling is what you can do better than that.
Take the Physician for example:
Low Skill - Heal Poisoned/Bleeding people. Heal high priority targets otherwise. Save SC for when it can be used in a breaking strategy.
High Skill - Pressure people during the day for claims. Self care if you can’t find outside protection like with a Hunter Bear. Use heal to form guard chains so you can keep pressuring safely. Cure statuses to make yourself creditable.
Both of these strategies are viable. The second one is more likely to make you win if executed properly. However that strategy also is harder to preform properly.
Note how adding in a Reaper or Franzy doesn’t make the high skill strategy more effective.
Contrast that to the CW change which both made sitting on confirmed invest way less effective but also let you cover multiple targets if you combine Empower and Clear mind while also giving you other things you can do. This makes high skill strategies more effective than before thus raising the skill ceiling.
