What makes WHM special? Nothing anymore.

WHM can't do crap about it, it's DPS is roughly equal to a AST doing normal uncarded DPS on single target

Here's the question I pose to people who think there's no identity crisis.... and I want you to take a moment to imagine this scenario before making a gut reply to it.

Scenario 1:
Patch 3.1 hits and they decide they're going to give both WHM and AST a Selene Fairy and tack on some of the basic pet skills to the class Cooldowns. SCH's get a small potency buff and everyone remains at the same "Balanced" healing level as before; except now all healers have a fairy.
Do you still feel special playing as a Scholar? You're still slightly "better" with your fairy, but now everyone has one.

See where WHM is coming from on this?

You don't even need to go that far. Take a look at my thread asking for Supervirus to be rolled into Virus to see the SCH defense brigade out in force.
