So.. who's leveling a SCH?
My whm was fine. I had fun with it even though in the back of my mind I felt that sch healing was good after factoring utility, but the fairy was just such a pain. I had my whm dps, it was more fun, and in my opinion challenging, to manage my mana/threat. Otherwise healing can feel a little like "whack-a-mole."
But I can't deny that now sch healing is just better when dealing with st (dmg reduction, aldo shields plus physic/embrace and of course... lustrate). The fairy aoe regen is going to be better in most situations that actually require aoe regen and its free (even Titan tumults are on a 1 min timer). And while the whm medica 2 change is interesting and does allow for some other uses... now burst healing will require two medica where medica 2 was often enough.
The mana and threat "management" for SCH... well I don't need to say much on that.
I love my whm, but I think its gonna happen. I'm finally going to go sch.
For clarification, i'm not throwing my WHM out the window, its not even a new toon just another job that shares most of my gear. Rather now with current changes and most importantly, fairy fixes, i have the motivation to use the other healing class.
