Is there a reason why WHM is the weakest healer in all fields?

I think giving WHM more damage and healing abilities mixed together might be an okay way to have an equilibrium between it and AST.
ASTs buffs really overshadow WHM so leaning more into damage heal combos could be good. It's basically how holy priest works in wow so whm having good pure healing and personal damage could mitigate the lack of utility.

It’s funny because that’s what it felt like it was leaning towards at a time, with assize and lilys.
Then SGE came and kinda took that identity before it was even started with WHM…

At this point I would even take just having WHM hit as hard as Sage and leave it at that, it would at least make sense since they’re both healers with no rdps utility.

WHM does already hit harder than SGE, the combination of assize, misery and POM usually puts WHM just ahead in full uptime fights and way ahead in fights that have downtime

WHM also benefits more from buffs while SGE is useless at altering its burst window

The imbalance comes that 0.2% more DPS isn’t worth the fact that SGE is a shield healer and while worse than SCH is better than WHM on every other front
