Please people, LOOK at other healer tooltips, jobguides are there to look at. Whm does nothing better than any other healer and everything costs them a kidney for the same potency as others.

Whm needs help, it may be a bit better than before with 20 second lillies that are worth using, but WHY do ast and whm have the same potencies and whm has everything in more expensive anyways.

Please don't trust anybody saying that whm is big healer, they are not.
Yeah lets compare WHM's Afflatus Solace to Lustrate, 200 potency higher on WHM's end and you only get Excog once every 2 Solace casts. The same applies to SGE but in blue and their excog equivalent isn't even 800 potency.
Okay now Afflatus Rupture. Hooray Indom is the same potency... on a longer cooldown... and without Plenary to boost it by 200 potency... oh...

That's not to mention that GCD heals have the benefit of being buffed by every healing buff and not only those which explicitly state to boost all of them. If you're running WHM/SCH the healing power gets pushed in WHM's favor even further due to fey illumination only really benefiting WHM and SCH's Fairy. You're probably gonna have more luck comparing WHMs to ASTs but at that point it's not really a crime to be placed 2nd.
