#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

The only advantage of today’s WHM that I could think of is only extensive amount of free raises they can pull off vs other 3 healers. Well and I guess “panic Cure III”. Damage done used to be a somewhat valid reason to pick up WHM at some point in ShB (CMIIW here)—they even outdpses tanks in those times. Today? Also taken away.

Meanwhile Astro has better mp economy and lightspeed to do speed raises. Panic CureIII feels nice when it's needed and works out but that's a very specific and bad situation.


But hey you actually have GCDs to use

So I uh... was not aware of this until now since I was too new to even think about parses and whatnot back then.

They removed the one reason why healers were still worth having over tanks even if their healing became less necessary from gearing and such, while simultaneously making their healing become less necessary faster by both increasing mitigation on dps and healing on tanks

Maybe they really do want to get rid of the role
