Fun fact:
A SCH or AST providing no pDPS because they need to heal full time still provides more DPS to the group than a WHM providing no pDPS because they need to heal full time. Why? Because the WHM doesn't have ANY DPS utility outside their own DPS, in contrast to AST and SCH who do provide some. Also, from my experience, a SCH got a far easier time upholding their DPS in healing intensive parties than a WHM does. Because it's as Exiled_Tonberry says, almost everything WHM does is tied to the GCD. It's at a point where I struggle to even find anything to weave into a Lily or Regen at times because it feels like there simply aren't enough options. That's why I think at least Misery should be taken off the GCD...

Yes, AST needs to be pushed a little, they really are a bit behind the others. But anyone believing SCH needs a massive buff, as I've seen people claim, needs to get their heads checked. As do people who think adding a second DoT will massively, magically make healer DPS more engaging.
