WHM going to become black sheep of healers again

[Exiled_Tonberry]

I think WHM is great and SE did the best possible thing which was NOT nerfing it while buffing the other 2.

This is certainly a good thing to see. However SE has a tendency to go too far with buffs. We'll see what happens, but SE specifically said they wanted this patch to a strengthen the identity of each healer. I do hope they remember that and don't kill the Pdps advantage of WHM too hard.

Unfortunately they murdered the identity of AST with the card changes. While SCH got its identity shaken up from being the DPS healer focused on DoTs.

AST's identity was never about cards, AST's main selling point was that it could access SCH and WHM's different styles of healing via sects. Sects are the problem with AST, not cards. Please, for the love of god, realize this.

ASTs identity and lore was built around the cards and the constellations they represented. While the sects represented day and night you only ever used them to enable 2 of your skills. Which currently you could just remove the sects and leave AST in an always on Diurnal and nothing would change. This is because the sects are hardly THE problem with AST. The cards are THE problem with AST. The sects are just a problem because the internal balancing of AST has been terrible resulting in Nocturnal being all but useless. While the cards directly effect ASTs overall viability in all content.
