    Except with healers, it's a lot worse. AST is undeniably better than WHM. It can heal as good as them, it can dps safer than them, it has better MP than them, their utility is massive compared to WHM having none, they're regens are better most of the time, they have the strongest healing CD in the game that can be extended by ,10 seconds at most, they have fairly strong mitigation, and so on.

    With PLD, you are getting extra party mitigation whether you need it or not, while with WHM you're getting absolutely nothing. Cure III is about the best thing they have and that was 100% not needed in this entire raid tier, and it never will be unless they want to make WHM mandatory.

    I'll be blunt. Keeping WHM as a "pure healer", never giving it utility will be the dumbest thing SE has done.

    Except there is no such thing as a pure healer in this game.

    A WHM with great MP management game can still main heal and pour out a significant amount of DPS without being thirsty for mana. WHM excels at "AFK healing." Throw a regen down and you're golden, especially when you include skills like Asylum. WHM still comes with other utilities that are useful that AST cannot pick up, like Eye for an Eye, which is great when you have three people willing to coordinate to keep Eye for an Eye up virtually 100% of the fight. WHM is also great at spike DPSing at certain points and if you're going to be ACC capped anyway, Holy is a great stun-anytime tool. Yes, other classes have stuns- usually a cooldown, unless you have that other "worthless" job called Paladin. You're also not taking into account WHM's Divine Seal and their 30% healing increase; again, not needed, but feeds into the whole "AFK healing" and allowing for just as much safety for DPSing.

    Like I said, it's all about your utilities and what you want to bring to a fight, but I know a lot of people are craving cards to boost their numbers for reasons.
