Anyone else feel SE missed the mark on WHM's from 50-60

[Vamperia]

They really didn't give us anything to set us apart from the other healers or even a different kinda group buffs. IE: mob debuffs, reflect spell, Damage shields or something. Its sad when lots of groups don't want to take a WHM because all you have to offer is heals, can't bring any group buffs.

Instead they took Protect that used to semi set us apart our 1 buff and gave it to Pallys, Scholars, and Ast so that they can buff parties more WTF

Just seems like they took a lot of great ideas and gave them to the Ast, (Buffing cards, light speed, better cool downs on spells, Play in different stances and how it affects your healing....the list goes on and on)

We really have nothing going for us right now used to be that clutch healer that could save a tank and get them back to full if they were down to 5% health with a quick Benadicition. But damn with a 300sec cool down other classes have better tools now post 50 and group buffs to do that now too and shorter cooldowns.

Just sucks because I really really enjoy my WHM but I see a lot of groups would rather run w/ a Sch or Ast for the buffs they bring and offer now days

THANKS Square ENIX for killing this JOB/CLASS

I think our 50-60 spells are awesome, they highly reflect the feeling of the WHM.

Stone 3 is God Like for DPS. Aero 3 is amazing. AoE Aero for 21 seconds I think it was? Come on. That aside, Asylum is amazing tool for just dealing with AoE damage especially if you're melee heavy group. Assize, quick cure, MP covering and damage to enemies...Tetra 700 Potency Instant Cure on 60 seconds? It's a Mini Benediction. Dude you have to be high to think these skills are not worthwhile or something.

Killing the job/class? Lmfao WHM is in an even better spot than it already was with 2 significantly boosted dps skills, an aoe heal/dps skill that ALSO restores 10% mp, and like Lorielle said a mini benediction on a 60sec cooldown and their own HoT bubble.

Statics are only taking AST because they want to see what they can do for raids (imo not much until cards get buffed a little bit because the rng aspect really bogs them down).

I'll just let you in on a little secret, light speed is awful. 25% reduction in potency just so you can get some instant casts? This isn't going to help you in big pulls, this isn't going to help you get the tank back up from tank buster skills, the only thing this is any good for is casting on the move. Cards are too rng to be reliable, you might get a good combo, most likely you will... when you need a different combo.
Play in different stances doesn't really mean anything. Nocturnal Sect is pretty weak right now and it's literally better to stack HoTs with diurnal sect + whm.

WHM has never been a gimmicky class. Judging by the number of AST complaint threads out there, I am pretty sure the grass isn't greener over there.

[ruskie]

Nah if anything WHMs are just getting better.

[Aurelinaus]

Nope WHMs are going to be the one healer every raid group brings along for one fact alone, the other two healers are both PIE bonus.

Going to be WHM/SCH or WHM/AST, most groups going with the former.

aside from the stoneskin nerf from 18% to 10% for WHM i dont see any problems at all, especially with all the new skills beeing that epic
but i just cant get why our only dmg migration skill got that stupid nerf...

[ruskie]

Yh. I miss graniteskin

[Kietsu]

WHM has always been about having next-to-no utility but massive raw healing.
Asylum, Assize, and Tetragrammation all fit the bill perfectly.
