And when Stormblood ACTUALLY is here people may see that whm may be fine.
Not saying it will but rather pre-mature to be bitching (as always) about something not even here yet.
Looking at something on paper and actually trying it out is different you know...
They still have time to make changes, just look at how bad in shape Monk (seems)

The issue is it isn't just a problem with numbers but design philosophy. The structure of WHM mechanics is effectively designed encourage WHM's to over heal or heal inefficiently to use. This, combined with sparse utility set, leaves WHM as a healing cannon with nothing sufficient to justify its power and balanced against other classes that have very strong healing in their own right as well as multiple utility options. Its like using an artillery piece to try and kill rabbits. Wrong tool for the job. Tweaking some numbers won't fix this. At the very least it would require them to adjust the core abilities themselves.

Unless they can resolve the disconnect between their Job design and their gameplay design WHM, and healers in general, will have balance issues.
