Dps As Healer

[Exiled_Tonberry]

Right now healer potency is balanced but healer utility isn't so overall the healers aren't balanced right now, but balancing the utility then unbalancing the healing potency just swaps the imbalances around and no progress was made at all since they are still overall imbalanced again.

No, I never asked for WHM to gain utility while AST lost healing potency. I never even asked for WHM to gain utility, I don't WANT them to gain utility similar to AST. It'll bring us closer to homogenization, which is something I really don't want.

Balance and homogenization are two very different things. What you're asking for - all healing potency and utility the same amongst all the healers- is homogenization.
What I'm asking for, WHM to specialize in healing but no utility and AST to specialize in utility but lower healing, is closer to what you can consider balance. It puts both healers on equal footing yet they both bring their own unique strengths. As I mentioned before, the reason why AST didn't work in 3.0 is because their buffs AND heals were weak. With their buffs being much more desirable now, it can still stand it's ground against WHMs higher healing.

That's what I feel SE was originally aiming for. WHM to be a safer and easier healer but offering no dmg bonus or utility while AST, still capable of healing content, would have a much harder time but offer these amazing buffs to push everyone forward.
That can now be realized with all the changes to ASTs toolkit, and I think it's worth a try instead of lazily giving WHM utility to even the odds.

Edit- I would like to say more but posting on these forums on mobile is EXTREMELY annoying. I hope I got my point across, that I'm not asking for WHM utility buffs at all, and that I want true Balance, not homogenization-
