All of the WHMs I know complain because SMNs are sucking up all the heals. I tried whipping out my staff and meleeing as SCH (and spamming haste/pro/shell) but i got super shit rewards.

SMN aoe cure worked in campaign because there were NPCs that had huge amounts of HP, so any healer had plenty of opportunities.

I support the OPer's suggestion that all curagas/accessions should also be able to hit everyone. Would make reives much more fun for me (as opposed to just switching to WAR)
