Reviving WHM

[IttyBitty]

WHM still has the highest potential HPS. This remains true despite AST (thanks PoM and DS).

It's a pointless fact to bring up because the real issue is that no content in this game needs that level of output. It never will, because it'd force a different healer out. All it does is make me feel completely hamstrung because WHM gives up a -lot- to have that tiny advantage that it can never use.

That's why I think WHM should be reworked and given a different identity. The "Big heals" Doesn't work in this game.

I think the only way to give it a different identity is to strip other healers of one or more mechanics. FF14 devs really didn't put any thought in the future of healing classes so basically all healers have some form of burst heals, AoE heals, HoTs, mitigation, etc. Why SCH/WHM worked is they gave something to the party the other one lacked, SE couldn't figure out how to make a new healer fit in with the other two so they duct taped both of them together with some new buffs and called it a day "THIS WILL TOTALLY WORK".
