Why are you casting Succor on the tank?

I feel like SE did this on purpose. Imagine if SCH's heals stacked. 2 SCH with macros to force-cast Embrace on the tank would let them keep everyone else in the party running 4 shields, 2 Succor and 2 Adlo. That's essentially a 900 potency shield with little fear of running out of MP. It would trivialize every encounter.

SCH suffers from two things: redundancy with 2 in a group and Faerie heals not scaling with SCH gear. Aside from that, a properly played SCH (keeping your fairy placed in the middle of the fight, force-casting Embrace, keeping Shadow Flare up, etc) will beat a WHM in everything but an AOE heal race.
