We're all DDs now >.>

When V4.0 comes out, now all of you need to learn the correct WHM behavior Yoshi-P thinks we should be using, or play something else, or just don't don't use the lily system by using more HoT's for overhealing and get yelled at for "not using all the tools in the toolbox."

So yes I.Told.You.So.

The sky is not falling, this doesn't change anything. Players can still play the way they want to. If anything it didn't go far enough and WHM looks like it's being nerfed because they had to make SCH and AST at least equal in healing strength.

While I won't get into the hilarious ignorance that is your viewpoint (as others have already covered that) I will mention that I played PLD through 3.0 and I can tell you that the dev team often have missteps on the design philosophy of certain jobs, don't act like they are the be all and end all of good game design.

3.0 PLD was designed as a physical tank, and it turned out awful, their design intentions did not match up to the content offered within the game. The same is true of WHM in 4.0, their design intentions not only do not match the content offered within the game (looking at the other two healers), AND it goes against the jobs already existing toolkit.

What we have ended up with is a job that has the failings of both 3.0 PLD and pre-buff BRD (i.e. job philosophy that goes against current design, AND mismatched toolkit), which were two jobs that were universally complained about on the launch of Heavensward. Come 4.0, when nobody is playing WHM, and you can't get in a PF group because nobody is accepting WHMs (happened to me on PLD when I was trying to clear bismark and ravana) I will be back to tell you I.Told.You.So.
