Is it just me or are people overreacting to WHM too soon?

I can dps just fine without relying on them as a crutch. It reminds when when AST was first released and people constantly complained about mana efficiency and dsp... never had any issues doing both back then either.

You are not understanding, so ill try something else.

Tank does a large pull. Cast aero III/ aero I while pull is being made, swiftcast holy, assize, presence of mind, aero III (because the last group shouldn't be hit so you cast it here while everything is stun to make sure everything is hit) cast holy (toss in shroud of saints when mp is low enough to make use of it, like 2 or 3 holys? use bene when tank is low enough, sometimes pulls can be done without a heal, but usually only good wars do that, and keep dpsing. This is why me and momi are saying waiting for them for clutch is inefficient, if you are skilled enough you should be able to adjust to bad without them. (Oh I forgot DS regen in somewhere in there but that's the idea)

Oh, I thought they meant clutch heal as in you DPS until tank is almost dead and then use Benediction or Tetra? That's what I do...I thought it would be kiiinnd of considered a clutch heal since you need an instant heal if you let the tank drop that low and close to death. If Tetra or Bene are on cooldown I usually stop DPS sooner in order to Cure II the tank to make sure he dont die then go back to DPS etc.

You sure that isn't what Momi meant? I may have misunderstood her though :x but my explanation is what I thought she meant.

When someone says they hold for a clutch moment, it mean they do not use them like you, momi, and me have in mind, we are talking to moogle head ;p usually people mean by " save for clutch moment" they hold them till something bad happens to heal a huge amount of damage (i/e playing with bad tanks, dps that don't dodge, etc) That is why momi was saying it is inefficient (dps loss) because it is.
