    If not, then at worst that new system is exactly as bad as the current one. It cannot be worse, so that's a positive element I suppose.
    If any actual healing is required (given the massively shrunk healing toolkit it might very well be!) then the new system would be 100% superior.
    I'm curious how Evolved WHM has more damage buttons to press. Current WHM has Glare 3, Dia, Holy 3, Misery, Assize and PoM/Glare 4. Meanwhile, Evolved WHM seemingly only has Glare/High Glare, Holy and Holy Judgment. So it went from 6 currently, to 3 with Evolved.

    From the perspective of “non glare GCD’s that contribute to damage” WHM currently has 15 per 2 minutes (6 blue lilies 2 red lilies 4 dia’s, 3 glare 4’s). new WHM would have 16 (12 casts of a GCD that give a sanctity stack and 4 casts of sanctuary)

    So it’s a very slight increase to GCD’s not related to glare with an increase in the freedom of where they can be placed but in exchange you get a reduction in oGCD damage through POM and assize being deleted

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess
