Yeah yeah, WHM mains were just jealous of how "creative" AST and SCH's designs were.

What I recall is an entire expansion where WHM was painted into a design corner with pure boring damage and straightforward boring healing, with zero (or fake, in the case of lilies) kit interaction. An expansion with threads asking for SOMETHING in their kits. Threads where basically every single AST/SCH main concurred that WHM needed "something", but continuously shot down suggestions because they "stepped on AST's toes" or "moved in on SCH's identity". How in the world is one supposed to "bring WHM up" if AST and SCH have such big fat freakin' feet that you step on them if you move an inch from the boring corner you've painted them in? How exactly is WHM supposed to gain a niche if every avenue of improvement is forbidden because AST and SCHs solid identity of "being good at everything" means that all niches are hogged under the umbrella of "everything"?

I may vehemently disagree with the great lobotomization of Shadowbringers, but this one point I will concede to the devs: the wonder twins were stifling the healer design space with their overpowered I-have-an-answer-to-every-single-situation kits, and SOMETHING there had to give. The devs just foolishly chose to hit everything with the nerf bat instead of using a scalpel.
