Heavensward was a paradigm shift from ARR. A completely fresh re-interpretation of almost every job. SB was the refinement and optimization of HW classes. ShB, unfortunately, was very reactionary to what was meta during the time of SB.

So it's no surprise that the meta-classes for SB are Pinnacle. This changed in ShB when the class design aimed to do several things, that was, homogenize tank/healer roles, remove double ranged meta, remove strange rotational quirks like Tornado Kick. Because ShB catered to those things, WHM/BLM/SAM, classes that were out of meta became relevant again. Most people will agree that SB was the best time in general in terms of class functionality though. Every class retained their own class quirks and there were alot more small optimizations per class. As opposed to now where there's almost no variation in top level play beyond crit variance. Heavensward had a lot of jank and strange tech, like gauss barrel toggling, that even if it was interesting, it was too hard for the average player.
