Yes this is something to keep in mind. No matter what happens, we shouldn't be looking for WHM to just outright be better than AST or SCH. It should just be competitive enough to seriously be considered rather than scoffed at instantly. I just believe that a job that specializes in just healing is simply a non competitive identity. Unless of course the healing is so strong it has the ability to trivialize damage, which again would be unbalanced...

Then again, why should WHM worry about trivializing damage when SCH can put up shields worth more than the entirety of a DPS' HP or an AST can put up cards that can up your DPS to the point where DPS checks are steamrolled?
