Should WHM get a personal damage buff?

Also, I've already seen plenty of party finders that exclude WHM this tier. It's still a thing and we aren't even past progression phases yet.

Sort of. Yeah, some PFs do that, but not that many. And yet... There's actually far more top statics running WHM+SCH than SCH+AST. But there isn't a single AST+WHM comp in the top 100 that I could find.

Yeah, it's a little tricky though. It's hard to get a good feel for volume given how fflogs works. I haven't looked into it but I do get the feeling that WHM+SCH has been the preferred progression comp. Because PUGs are a little random in skill I think people also currently enjoy that "comfort comp" in PF.

But otherwise it seems like statics with WHM tend to be pretty low on the list as a general rule. Which makes sense since when dealing with 99%iles the top parties would all naturally be be SCH+AST. The difference in rdps among those parties is pretty small and the rdps between those healer comps is significant enough to way in.
I did AST+WHM last tier and it's a little awkward to optimize healer dps because both healers are pretty healing GCD reliant. Could be a reason.
