SCH in PVP

As a SCH I can say that is very OP in Frontlines, it can kill every other job 1v1 including WHM(Ruin II interrupts the cast apparently). I was surprised by this actually, I was able to kill brds/mnks/smns easily.(those are the only jobs that usually run after me) Cleric stance+ ruin II + energy drain + fairy heals is too much to handle

We re good but not invincible, it all come down to, as usual : how good can the enemy focus you. And thats the thing that usually never happen in a good way when you play in pure pug, on the same regard people tend to simply not care about you even when you need that little help.

Best way to kill a SCH is after you see them refresh aetherflow burst them down. After you see the stacks refresh then it's best to try and dps them down then since if they blow all 3 lustrates quickly on themselves they're stuck deciding if they're using other big cooldowns or eating a death. Even if you don't kill them off within a minute, if you've managed to get them to blow 3 lustrates on themselves then that is a victory as well since that means that's 3 that didn't go to the teammates that they're supposed to be healing.

I just surecast and blizzard 2 usually after refreshin aetherflow, so i can go in the back of the bugger and adlo myself again :p

You shouldn't be 1v1'ing a healer period. Rather it be a SCH or a WHM, Healers are zerged; not 1v1'd.

your tears sustain me. like others have already said, you shouldn't be 1v1'ing a healer anyways. when i come across scrubs who try to do that to me, i just kite them to a group of my team members and lol at their death for being stupid.
eos has been nerfed for pvp time and time again. if you still cant kill a sch then get good.

I've found that as a SMN, Ifrit and being lucky enough to get all 4 Dots on a SCH, is whats needed to take down SCHs in 1v1. Like others have said though, 1v1 is pointless and probably costing your team points if your not on a flag.

Baiting a SCH is also usefull. Throwing a Bio I and MiasmaII, wait to see if they blow a purify. if they do, get B.I+M.II back on them, swift cast BioII, and if they are not very mobile, get that M.I in. fester and keep Ifrit on them. blow you enkindle if you see them use all 3 lustrates.

SCH against 1 target is really powerful, but any class has some adavantages in specific contest.
Anyway probably u won't win even with a WHM xD
He can attack u only with Aero while running, but he can use rigene and sprint, afther that your HP is almost low
he can use fluid aura + sleep, he will recover and protect with stoneskin, then cause u heavy with stone I and then
finally kill u xD

Anyway if u have to fight a SCH remember to interrupt fairy too, so use AoE if u have it,
but anyway I wouldn't suggest to try it anyway xD
(Sleep on fairy usually isn't the best tactic, SCH can Leeches it and protect it with Rouse)

All these comments about 1vs1 are foolish.
In frontlines it just comes down that sometimes.

As for "never engage a healer"
I eat WHM for breakfast so, that point is not valid. :P
