What makes WHM special? Nothing anymore.

> Most powerful single target healing spells since benefic and benefic II are exact copies of Cure I and Cure II

WHM still has powerful single target healing spells that where not given to AST.
Benediction and Tetragrammation.

The fear that WHM is somehow not viable for farm content is odd to me. WHM can heal wonderfully for progression, and will be too OP for farm content? There will always be people new to a particular instance, people who make mistakes and otherwise put the party in a situation where the WHM would be able to pull everyone from the brink of death more efficiently and with more ease than any other healing class. This has not changed.

And yes the cards can add very helpful effects in situations, the problem with using them in examples is the situations some of the AST card abilities get brought up in are far to situational to be realistic. Yes if someone is lucky they can pull a spear right when they need it to use a cool down. They are also just as likely to pull spire number five.

All I see is WHM has no identity because it shares some spells with another class, WHM has 28 spells, 5 cross class, one with similiar or identical effects of the other two healers, (Bene, Cure, Physic), and four more they kinda sometimes share with AST (cure 2, asp bene, aspected Helios, helios) That gives them a grand total shared ten spell healing kit leaving them with 18 abilities unique to the WHM. With another 4 unique traits. How much more unique does a class need?
