What makes WHM special? Nothing anymore.

Scholar and WHM leveled to 50 quite nicely in ARR with their relics to boot, so yeah...whatever.

RichardButte is not pointing this out to discredit the opinions of those who have not experienced current endgame but rather to illustrate how different healing is now compared to 2.x. You are quite literally comparing the healing classes in two different games.

I leveled ast first and felt ast was perfectly fine at 60 because I was thinking about how it would play in content like T13. Once I set out to level my other two healing jobs by level 52 both of them they outclassed my level 60 ast because of the incoming buffs they added to their toolkit changing my opinion about the viability of ast.

I appreciate his tone was dismissive, but putting that aside, there is a reason his perspective keeps being brought up in this discussion.
