Ironically, they had zero magic in FFXI outside of avatars and spirits natively, if they branch off of the CNJ path guess what they will be if the community wants another healing class? Yep they'll be whm substitutes.

WHMs that know how to play (yes this means healing people other than the tank as well) will do just fine without the need of a 'substitute' especially since they're in large quantity atm.
