What makes a stellar WHM?

How can you gauge how good your cohealer (in this case WHM) is in a raid setting? What separates a great WHM (uses mana efficiently, matches heals with spike dmg timing and rarely overheals) from a WHM skilled enough to be on world progression?

If they saved their vacation time.

If you don't notice your co healer or feel that your heals aren't all being last second ones, then your co healer is doing his job.

A "stellar" White Mage would be an Astrologian. Get it? Because "Stellar" and "Astro" are relating to stars in Latin and Greek respectively?

...I'll let myself out.

If you can stop to take a piss and come back to find that no one died, then you are with a good co-healer.

Used to be about MP management and the ability to solo heal so the SCH can DPS as much as possible. Also if the party still died, try to work around other party wide CDs like E4E, Apoc, Mantra, etc.

Now it's all that + putting out a lot of DPS.

All the above + healing tanks who are not in tank stance to meet the DPS check in Alex Savage.

I'm disappointed by the lack of Stella joke.

That poor skill will never be loved. :c
