If all the healers were going hunting for deer in the woods, both the AST & SCH would come with a nice hunting rifle which is perfect for the job. WHM is the only healer that would come hunting for deer with an RPG. The job is complete overkill. I can understand balancing WHM more in the next expansion, I support that idea, maybe nerf them and give them a hunting rifle like an AST & SCH and buff them in other areas that they are lacking. DPS between all 3 healers is the most balanced DPS we've ever seen.



4.4 comparison:


The only thing WHM is missing is raid utility to make it even with AST & SCH. Also you can't properly say it's not an "advantage" to have superior heals, especially when those heals are not on a time gate. However, you can say it's almost never an advantage in organized high end groups. When the other healer dies, sure you can blame the party wipe on the person who fucked up, but a WHM might be able to keep the group together where a SCH & AST would fail solo. You'd be correct if you said it's not an advantage that negates the deficits of the job or something similar. Sorry, I'm being nit picky.
