    WHM also has to play proactively, though, as they should be casting the heal before the actual damage is taken.

    Definitely this. While it's true that quickly recovering the party from AoE damage spikes is a WHM strength, they also need to anticipate incoming damage to be successful. A slow, inattentive healer makes life unnecessarily difficult for their fellow healer in full party content since they can't be trusted to heal when they should.

    Awesome! Thanks for the clarification, I didn't want to step on a Scholar's toes in a Full Party or raid situation in the future..!
