My issue is more the potency, I can live with not having EVERY spell WHM has otherwise that would be dumb. I just wish the ones we did have were almost as potent, and then the ones we don't have were made up for with the cards etc. Like why does Helios have to be weaker AND smaller range than Medica? We should at least have the equivalent of Cure, Cure II, and Medica I think.
I think it might be different if I had started with AST from the start as my first healing role. But since I started with WHM, even when I try SCH I'm always comparing them or thinking it seems weaker etc. So I think WHM is what ruined it for many people.
It's also the fact though that when you look at WHM, their spells are almost overkill and redundant. Like we can do what, 3 different types of Regen, by using actual Regen, Medica II, and Asylum. For AoE healing we have Cure III, Medica II, Assize, and technically Asylum. Then to top it off we can do abilities to bump the potency by 30%, increase spell speed, and refresh MP.
