Plenary should have stayed the same as the one we have now, cause it allowed for oGCD planning with the 30s.

Whm still has no DPS GCD to weave except Dia.
Clipping was one of the complain.

Scholar has Ruin II, Ast still has Malefic at 1.5.
They have to quickly realize that clipping will still be a problem.

Otherwise, WHM seems to be really strong and solid.
His personnal DPS through Glare, Dia, Assize, Afflatus misery and his haste buff will probably make him far away from the other 2 healers.
But there's still this problem where WHM has to DPS himself to make up for his lack of raid dps utility, which is conter intuitive with what devs team try to make with healers (which looks to be, more healing, less dps).

We can definitly say that people within the dev team didn't understand that, despite dozen of topics exist all over the internet on that.

I hope that the finally build will show us some adjustement to that.
Probably won't, given SE's track record...but they better be watching the forums this time because I haven't seen an uproar as big as this for Healers. Also, Afflatus Misery is a single GCD that's free; worth 3 Glares. You aren't sacrificing anything except making it a super strong AoE Nuke. But in general, you brought up a worthy issue: Plenary Indulgence's Tick Healing. On the Tooltip from the media tour, it says it heals for 200 potency a tick for 10s when you land Cure III, Medica, or Medica II. Is it me, or is SE ASKING FOR WHM TO TAKE AGGRO THROUGH OVERHEALING? I thought this was talked about before Shadowbringers...
