New AST from a New Player

To take away abilities is one thing; repackaging these skills that were used and enjoyed by players for years into a separate job would just be a betrayal to players of the original job.

I dont know, as a WHM main I'm pretty used to getting abilities stripped away and given to other jobs.

So they have a history of this. I'm sorry but I have the least knowledge regarding WHM out of all the healers, but if you or anyone can elaborate on what nature of skills were taken and refurbished for other jobs; it would help in connecting where WHM is now in contrast with other healers. As far as I understand, WHM was the most neglected job overall, but coming into this expansion I've seen the most praise for it(not to diminish its issues and complaints about them in any way).

Is it because its existing baseline was reinforced instead of tampered with? Or because it's seen the least amount of change, and therefore 'abuse', it managed to come out on top with its soul intact?
