All Healers are now Pure Healers only

[Vivian_Vex]

So we're going back to ARR healing... But with AST full of utility and SCH having it's utility... and WHM with nothing worthwhile. So benched again for another expansion, oh goody. I'm hoping that's not the case when the expansion hits, but this certainly didn't assuage my worries.

Nothing good? Did you even watch the White Mage stuff?

It got a bunch of AoE healers, which it doesn't need unless the outgoing damage is significantly higher. WHM desperately needs utility or it'll just end up on the bench for yet another expansion.

We get wings, but what does it do? Boost heals like Largesse? That's exactly what it looked like in the footage. A bunch of heals, because WHM needed more heals in a game where healing is not a big focus outside of a few fights for healers. AOE heals at that when WHM has plenty right now.

Just because something looks pretty does not mean it's fun to play, unique and wanted/useful. We'll see what they exactly get as it gets closer to the expansion, but my low expectations haven't been met yet. I want the gap between WHM, SCH and AST at least closed a little. This live letter and presentation did nothing to show me that it has been.
