Starter healer... WHM?

A diurnal ast who is using only ogcds can't heal significantly more than you if you are using lilies which you need to use for movement before and after mechanics anyway. In three minutes time they can end up healing less if you utilize your tools.

You can use benison each time you reapply dia if you want so much to get that whopping 4500 shield potency. However, it will not change the fact that it is excessive and not needed outside tankbusters. Things that are not needed have no value. As you've stated yourself, strong gcd healing, the one thing whm excels at, has no value in savage because it is not needed.

Misaligning dia with assize is not that big of a deal, just improvise. Actually, there is no way you won't misalign dia with assize from the very beginning if you are resetting your dot at the last tick which occurs at the last 2 seconds.

Succor's shield is weak. 205 prevented damage is not huge. For me huge is something like 70-90% mitigation. Idk, we are thinking on different wavelengths.

The healer class with the strongest rDPS on e9s is whm. So it is possible to deal more damage than AST and SCH. Even if they are better equipped for the encounter.

A single good kill on whatever savage boss I hopped into means that I am good enough to be able to make a single good kill with good dps and an adequate amount of healing when I don't get murdered. Yes, it doesn't make me an expert and I never said it did, it was in your head.
Also, there is something I don't understand. How is seeing all mechanics of a boss a good thing? All of the bosses enrage after the last one. A good party will not get to that point. A bad party will.
