For those who main/semi-main a DPS (e.g. DNC, RDM) but like Healers...

And I wish that SE would realize that what makes WHM friendly to "casuals" is it's Lv.50 kit and how MSQ encounters are currently designed.

Unless the tank(s) have never heard of stance or mitigations, and unless the rest of the party thinks the goal is to stand in the orange 100% of the time, Lv.50 WHM has what it takes: Readily available HP restoration. And if you find yourself running low on MP, just don't do anything for a few moments. There's no meaningful enrage to contend with.

That leaves multiple expacs worth of levels to do something interesting and exciting with WHM.

I would go further & say "If you want beginner/casual friendly healer go play CNJ" lol, because they do have what it takes for those MSQ encounters, dungeons, and trials! (obviously random DF groups wouldn't take that kindly, but you get the idea)
