WHM going to become black sheep of healers again

[Dynia]

5.05 patch:

- SCH got energy drain back that will give same damage like WHM and make him OP again
- ASTRO lot of buffs
- WHM got nothing again

2 more patches like this and WHM will be again unwanted shit for raids like it was in SB that no1 want this class GJ SE !

mark my words, soon history will repeat itself like it was in SB

drop your WHM before it too late and go level SCH or ASTRO if you want keep your raid slot

what WHM got now ?
- dmg ? nope
- utility nope
- barrier ? LOL ...
- healing ? lol
- oh yeah we have useless holy for raids ...

YES IM ANGRY I HAVE TO DROP AGAIN MY FAV HEALER CAUSE OF SCHOLARS WHINING and play SCH cause I hate astro over life !!

GJ SE from angry WHM player ...


and ppls think that WHM is already OP ...

WHM got the shorter end of the stick this expac? Sir, are you drunk?

[Aeloria]

I think you are over reacting a little bit. Energy Drain for SCH just allows them to spend Aetherflow on something useful than healing abilities when no healing is needed just to build gauge. AST is still in a rough spot but just a little less rough. I'm so not reading doom and gloom in the whm channel on the balance discord. If buff's to your fellow healer's that really needed them bother's you this much I'm very sad for you.

As a WHM main, I'm telling you right now.
Stop it.

I'm going to side with the first response and say yes, you are drunk.

You're really whining about WHM healing? Have you even played WHM this expansion?

Sch got energy drain and a buff to Art of War which will get used in raids just as much as Holy. I don't think WHM is losing any ground to the other healers right now. Astro heals were improved but it's raid DPS contribution is still questionable. I'm relieved to say that WHM still seems really viable in my opinion.

[Risvertasashi]

WHM still has the highest personal DPS.

Whether or not AST's rDPS buffs will be strong enough for a solid SCH/AST meta again, or not, is still in question.

But even if that happens WHM now has a niche. And if it doesn't happen, WHM isn't looking bad at all.

Now could history repeat itself? Ye-es. But it's a bit early to call that, it hasn't happened.

Uhh, assuming energy drain is 150 potency (Which is probably around what it'll be, maybe lower since SE hates healer damage) that's only 450 potency on a 1 minute cooldown.

I don't see how 450 potency gain every minute is going to make white mage useless, that's literally 1.5 glare and you're forcing yourself to use gcds if any major healing is needed now.

- dmg ? nope

I’m sorry. I stopped reading here.

Go home, OP. You’re drunk.

[IttyBitty]

WHM feels kinda clunky right now, but it's pretty dang strong and certainly in a better place than it was late HW or....all of SB.
