Hey, I'm one of those WHMs in that chart. Me with my fully complete relic.

I started playing WHM because a friend was trying it. Nothing to do with it starting at level 1. I was a BRD / DRG main at the time. If you look at my character profile you'll see that I've also played the other healers. As well as every other job for that matter, to various degrees.

I always end up staying with WHM in the end since I find it the most fun. Though I do really like ranged phy dps. I don't find trying to keep up a few dots at once to be fun, just tedious busy work. Ask anyone I've been in a party with. I dps as much as I can get away with, but the ideas I see players suggest about healers are always quite bad.

You may then say: "Why don't you come up with something then?" To which I'd respond, I don't have any good ideas either.
