Make Physick and Cure Different

Lol, this is what i'm talking about. I play both classes equally btw, though I do main a whm since my gf plays the SCH. I won't bother to try to argue in length about it but in short, pet management of a SCH pet is not difficult (especially with recent improvements in the ai) It's a lot easier for me at least, to do things with a SCH than doing the same things on a whm. Take solo healing for example (without a bard). I'm not being bitter about it because I never said SCH is OP compared to WHM. They're just an easier class to master (at least for me).

sch healing is better overall imo, mainly because of galvanize. a good crit on adlo can give a longest lasting shield. put a stone skin and tank might not lose any health over the course of 15 seconds, and that is a long time in fights. time that can be spent adding dots, healing others if needed, or making sure you move out of an aoe.

An arguement can be made for making Physick traited on SCH, perhaps to imbue novelty - but this insta-cast Physick idea sounds difficult to balance. Off GCD like Lustrate, the potency would have to be incredibly low to make it less appealing to spam. On GCD and you'd generally be better off casting the hgher potency Cure as the cast time is shorter than the GCD anyway. If we're presenting this as an arguement for a mobile heal then SCH already has two - Lustrate and Embrace.

Do not like the less healing potency insta cast Physick, we have Lustrate for that and I don't have any issues with the stack requirement. This sounds to me like a needless waste of mana when you can just use a stack to heal 20% instantly.

Personally don't think Physick among other spells needs to have something more special to it. We already have the chance of increased cast speed buff given by pet when you crit with it.

I think its just there so you have options on your sub, level acn or whm and you get to take physick or cure on your other classes.
