Next new job better be heals

[Limonia]

WHM and AST make good candidates for the passive healers. These should be designed to appeal to the "thou shalt not DPS" healers where their kits should minimize their reliance on offensive spells.

I don't like this idea at all.
I love WHM thematically and aesthetically. But I also love the idea of doing a lot of dps as a healer. So I would be forced to give up the class I like the design of the most just because it probably wouldn't be fun to play anymore. No thank you. I'd rather have more interesting dps options as WHM. Especially as WHM because it already is the simplest healing job, so it wouldn't become too complicated if you give it something like a dps combo or something like that. Don't make it even simpler and even more passive.

Not only that - SE seemed to be of a similar mindset to ty_taurus for a while and it nearly killed WHM in the raid scene.

What I suggested for WHM though wasn't less DPS overall. Just instead of standing there and mashing Glare into oblivion, you focus on healing, then blast the enemy with potentially a stronger Afflatus spell, then try and get lilies back so you can keep blasting that spell.
