    I'm gonna take a guess but is it because it has too many healing tools? Just feels like that too me like I have a way too big of a safety net to the point where I'm starting to wonder if SE put those for healers who do savage/ex? There's no way the regular content needs that much healing, even in expert. If that's not the reason, lemme know why. I'm curious

The reason why people think it's a meme to heal nowadays because DRK receives very little to no buff to their sustainability vs 3 other tanks getting something useful. If you're capable of healing DRK back in ShB (or any tanks), then you'll heal EW DRK just fine.

    The opposite, Whm lacks in efficient healing tools compared to other healers which makes it more prone to lose dps by having to rely on lillies (dps loss) and GCDs, that adds up to a lot of questionable design choices and the worst mp economy of the healers

    Anybody saying "I only want to <x>" just tells me they are lazy and selfish.

    WHM is in a paradoxical limbo because it's meant to be the beginner friendly healer, but at the same time I guess even the devs know they can't give it an "autoplay/babyproof" playstyle or all the lazy players would just flock to it (as if they didn't already), so you end up with a job that's so straightforward it's almost insulting, but it's also so bareboned it's ironically "harder" to play efficiently as - and 9/10 times anyone brings it up, the general answer is "just play AST then" /rolls eyes
