Getting WHM on Par

[Deathgiver]

That's heal power, and in my opinion that's what the whm is all about, that's its Identity: heal power, burst damage and mp control.

The problem is that whm burst healing is unnecessary. An AST or SCH both have enough tools to cover the burst heal requirements, while a whm has none of the tools for mitigation or large scale raid dps increases.

edit: As far as dps goes, whm hits 2 significant barriers when in prolonged fights. 1 they need to stat accuracy as every single dps skill they have can miss, and 2 they need to slot piety as they have the worst mp recovery of all 3 healers. This means that their healing toolkit is further nerfed by the reliance on stats that don't increase healing throughput at all.
