Is it just me or is WHM suffering?

WHM is supposed to be the GCD healer, and yet AST's GCD heals almost universally surpass it.


Why even bother bringing a WHM to a party when AST would be the objectively better choice, cards and all?

Honestly, I'd say this is the ultimate insult for WHM. Sure, it can clear content, but the fact that it's severely outclassed in virtually every way possible by AST except personal DPS just feels terrible. WHM doesn't need to be the most meta OP healer for all forms of content, prog and farm included, but give it something it truly shines in--something that the other healers can't match just like how each of them offers something specific to them as well.

So many of WHM's tools are just blatantly worse than actions the other healers have and are strongly comparable.

Essential Dignity is vastly superior to Tetragrammaton
Horoscope is superior to Plenary Indulgence
AST has an OGCD Regen in addition to its bubble, something WHM doesn't have at all.
Neutral Sect and Expedient are far better than Temperance
Sage also has no party buffs like WHM and features flat higher potency on Dosis III vs Glare III AND has Phlegma

The list goes on.

Not to mention that WHM's oGCD toolkit has a much longer CD than the other healers.
WHM is just needlessly punishing to play.
