i'm not complaining, if i was, i would be more harshly worded.

I'm unsure it's 2 to 3 steps forward? but...things like Dia and Aero 2 being the same potency but Dia having a higher cost is a step backwards.

Afflatus Misery being made DPS Neutral, while getting the AOE Drop off Dmg hit is a bit of a tricky situation. so "ye and no".

i'm glad to see SOME changes that are positive, but at the same time, I can see where things haven't changed and many will say "but you don't want to use X".

Medica 2 is really helpful in 24man content, and yes, WHM has very good AOE capabilities..

but it loses to AST in the Pure Healer category because of MP Efficiency/Economy. this is where i'm seeing a LOT of WHMs have issues. The MP Efficiency/Economy. we just don't have the tools all the time to actually sustain sometimes.

I’ve run a lot of content with friends that main Sage…and honestly? In 8 man as a WHM? All I had to cover was tank buster DMG. Other than that I was just DPSing, Random AOE healing when needed, but because I was in voice with my Co-healer…I knew what they had available and what they needed help covering.

I want to see WHM good, I don’t want to see AST as some bad healer either, or any other healer as a badly done healer, but I want to see WHM more than what it is and to have it work better, if that makes sense?

I like the class not because of nostalgia, but because I could do really dumb crap, like pull my cohealer aside and we would play ‘how low can the tank go?’ or one infamous run of “only heal in HoTs” (we succeeded, it was fun and challenging back in the day) in Extremes or Savages when running stuff with my FC.

Now you have so much that the only reason you take healers into some things…is because there are specific mechanics that target healers and you want to know exactly who they’re going to be on. Not because you need them.

Overall? i'm...getting a bit of hope while being wary because of all the things that i've seen.
