WHM Desperately Needs An Overhaul

[Silver-Strider]

That probably needs to at least have banking, though, even if that may reduce the urgency granted. Having a chance to waste a loaded proc with each server tick is rarely a good fit for healer and would constrain any later attempts towards a lower-percentage-downtime design philosophy for healers.

How is having a Skill Ceiling high enough that you don't bump your head standing a bad thing? You missed a proc. That means there's room for optimization which isn't a bad thing. Anything is better than the nothing we have.

Moreover, I'm not sure how "break up all other possible procedures through immediate use of thing A upon proc-chime" would be particularly impactful or rewarding outside of a kit like that of BLM in which it should be held under state A and used mostly immediately under state B and both states are rotated between.

Healers have a similar system. It's call healing or DPSing. If I'm in a DPS phase, I don't need to heal and when I'm in my healing phase, it should be to build up my DPS phase again, or at least that's how it should work. Having a system in place so that your GCD heals don't negatively impact your contribution to the group is literally no different than asking for Misery to be DPS neutral. Maybe Regen gains the Diacloud proc. Dia becomes a 600 potency nuke that more than makes up for missing out on 1 GCD of Glare with the potential to be a DPS gain. Maybe Cure 2 get the Cleric Stance proc to double the potency of your next attack spell. Misery becomes an 1800 potency AoE nuke in 5 GCDs vs 5 Glares at 1550 potency on a single target. Does it encourage overhealing? Sure but then again, you have a trait to help solve that issue, don't you?

Literally, short of just adding more DPS buttons, there isn't really a good way to break Healers away from their 1 button spam. Procs could help though.
