Healer for speed running dungeons

[Jollyy5]

In raid environment, SCH and AST are the current meta, but I believe WHM is still the strongest option for dungeons.

WHM is only really best in fights when you have early and strong mob AoEs to stun that would otherwise force your melee out and thereby disrupt AoEing, which are few even in the instances that have them at all. In any other situation, WHM is the worst speed-runner, even if not by a huge margin.

Depends on the dungeon. AST has an instant stun, but WHM has a constant stun for at least 2 gcds before they become immune for a time. Assize is also instant 300 potency on all targets within range, and that is something no other healer has. This is extremely beneficial in dungeons when low HP adds swarm in, which is common in dungeons. You can argue Miasma 2 and Earthly star all day, but WHM will rid of them faster each and every time. Especially if you add a SC+holy in there on top of assize.

AST and SCH overall DPS might be higher, but I am curious about their burst damage, which seems to be strongly in favor of WHM. And overall DMG don't mean dick when the fights aren't long enough to make them an argument. And we're talking dungeons here.
