Hiya Ghish! If I'm in a healer foxhole, I'm glad it's one with you around! While I've got you here, can I ask how you to teach a fellow healy-lala to do the quote "click to show" code? I should be able to find it, but I'm failing miserably.

That aside, totally in agreement with you when it comes to adding a 4th healer. It's very possible in such a scenario to do a WHM/AST vs SCH/DNC (or whatever combination), having each of those in a smaller competition for their one healing slot. I'm always in favor of synergistic combinations, but either of those two situations occurring would be an alright step, and an easier one to make adjustments to down the road.

I am sincerely hoping we do not end up with one cemented healer and three healers fighting over the last slot. Absolute worst outcome!

Also thanks in regards to the Ultimate info. I don't really keep up with that at all, but it's further proof that if content design shifts, WHM is certainly able to pull ahead - it's less about making WHM squeeze out more damage and more about SCH not being able to squeeze as much as it does in these cases, and it's totally a valid method.

By the way, in regards to my previous post: Before anyone reading wants to go dig up my logs to try and discredit my points as a terrible healer, let me be the first to say I'm very aware of my strengths and weaknesses as a WHM, and I'm very aware of my static's strengths and weaknesses. I've got a new cohealer entirely new to raid healing FFXIV, and the damage/healing tabs will show the results of this - feel free to dig further back into deltascape and sigmascape to look at things with the opposite kind of healer (a succor-heavy scholar). I am far from the world's most fantastical WHM. Fortunately, that is not a requirement for balance and design discussions, nor does being one immediately qualify one as a paragon of class design.

The last time I saw a world first player talking class design to buff AST early into HW all they could come up with was cloning WHM abilities~
