Isn't it about time for WHM to get an AOE mitigation tool?

I mean you say it is a poor excuse to ignore issues, but what issues?

Actually I meant that in a general sense. That when there ARE balancing issues, the word viable to excuse it's imbalance is used oftenly, even though a jobs viability is never questioned, just how they compare to other jobs in their role.
Basically it was just me ranting a little.
If I were to be completely honest right now, I do agree that healers are the most balanced they've been since the start of HW. Expecting more than that is pushing it I suppose.

If you don't have fun on WHM why do you play it still?

I do have fun on WHM. It's more or less the only healer I use in savage/ex content.
Which probably is why I'm so cautious with their balancing. Because if I can't play WHM I'd rather not heal at all. I actually just went Monk for 3.4 and on because of how bad WHM was, and I don't want to see that happen again.

Okay, I understand your point of view better now so at least we have come to a better understanding mutually. Thank you for taking the time to read what I said and to reflect on what I was trying to explain to you. I mean if humans were capable of perfection then it wouldn't be expecting too much to have 100% balance with still having separate toolkits and different play styles, but yeah I feel at this time most people seem to agree the healers are very closely balanced and making it any closer just isn't possible without bad side effects like homogenization and making the jobs too similar to each other and no diversity.

3.4 all we can do is hope it doesn't happen again. It is best not to dwell on it and just have fun in the now, 3.4 level of unbalance is gone and hopefully for good. If something like that where there is too large of a gap between the balance happens again then yeah we'll all be here to show disapproval.

I mean I went through that too in 3.0 like I said I really loved AST but I was blocked out of groups due to it being unbalanced with WHM and SCH and people wouldn't let me play it and it took me awhile to finally find a group that would let me play it and it wasn't until Midas and after AST got buffs they needed so I missed out on doing Gordias on the job I liked, so I understand, but 3.0 is also gone so we shouldn't dwell on the past issues.
