Endwalker White Mage has Issues

[Semirhage]

WHM was only "good" in Shadowbringers because they scooped the frontal lobes out of AST and SCH going in. WHM is so barebones, overly simplistic, and actively works against both itself and the combat system that it can only reasonably compete with lobotomized classes unless its numbers are blatantly overtuned. Mark my words, even if complexity manages to sneak back onto the other healers they'll be stupidified as soon as it becomes apparent, because WHM's design being horrible by fiat drags the entire role down for "balance" reasons. Even though WHM is STILL the worst healer in a room full of crayon-eaters. That's how badly it needs a core redesign.
