Healing Focus or DPS Focus

WHM is strangely the most and the least bloated healer

It has the least number of buttons but it also has the most buttons that really don’t do anything to justify their existence or overlap with other superior buttons

Cure 2 and medica 1 could upgrade to solace and rapture with a lily, aquaveil and bension could be a single button that does both or delete one and just have one effect or the other, asylum is almost redundant these days, tetra is useless, benediction is nice to have but not remotely necessary for anything and is rarely planned around. POM is a fun burst button counterpart to ley lines but doesn’t actually do anything interesting, temperance doesn’t really need its healing up but I mean it’s fine, honestly you could halve temperance’s CD and delete plenary and you achieve about the same thing

Honestly if you cut WHM back to

Cure 2/solace
Medica 1/rapture
Medica 2
Cure 3
Aquaveil
Lilybell
Temperance on a 1 minute CD
Regen

It would still function 99.9% the same as it does now

Hmm.. what if they just add an effect to Cure 2 and Medica where it becomes Afflatus Solace and Afflatus Rapture if there is a lily stack.

Scenarios like P7S purgation phase kinda makes me thankful they're separate buttons. But then, that sort of scenario doesn't happen too often either.

I do want a better reason to be given if the WHM chooses to save their lilies... like how I personally would revamp them in one of my older post here

That's also kind of how I see it...

See, in the healer wishlist, I suggested that PoM could grant blood lilly whenever you'd cast Glare. Without suggesting this to be an amazing idea, I feel like just adding new effects to some existing skills could help make our dps less boring.

Because if adding button is really the one thing they want to avoid... many things could be done just by adding effects, something like:
Get a blood lilly everytime you cast glare, holyIII or Dia while affected by PoM, up to 6 blood lilly
Every 5 cast of Glare or Dia, HolyIII becomes HolyII which is instant and deal about 50% more damage than Glare. (Add a flower effect to the jauge gauge, blooming as we glare)
Casting Assize grants one charge of HolyII for 15s.
Whenever Dia expires, your next HolyII is a crit

Like, it's not much, it isn't ground breaking or anything, but it would make things more dynamic and it effectively cost 0 new skills.
