Should WHM get a personal damage buff?

[Risvertasashi]

To be honest, would it be such a bad thing? There is rarely anything in this game that actually needs a WHMs full healing power, and every healer can handle any situation just as well. I wouldn't exactly mind losing exclusive rights to Cure III if it meant I could contribute more to my party.

That being said, it would definitely put a dent in their already shaky identity...

If we trusted SE, no it wouldn't be such a bad thing. But to be blunt, I don't really. Healer balance is on a knife's edge; it's ok, but even a gentle nudge could bring it all crashing down. So, personally, I don't really want to chance SE touching it.

In particular, for whatever reason... SE hasn't minded throwing quite a bit (nearly all of it) of WHM utility into cross class, and now role shared actions. Yet SE doesn't want to do this with things like Balance or Chain Strategem, even though such things in role shared actions would make balancing a lot easier. As you've noted, WHM's identity is shaky.

I don't know, is heavensward faded from memory already? We've seen this dance before.
