Question for End Game Raiding SCH (Those guys with ilvl 90 stuffs lol)

[Noctrin]

I healed every encounter in this game and have a lot of end game gear. 30 mind makes no difference at that point. Anyone who thinks 50 more healing on physik does anything with you and your pet doing 1600 a pop, please stop talking. It does not and never will do anything other than give you some more over-healing. You will spam that spell since with that gear you will never run out of mp using physik + pet embrace (macro them together if you haven't), you will overheal a ton and that 50 extra will not matter as while you're spamming that, there is no encounter in the game that requires that hps and your tank will be constantly beyond topped. When things get serious, lustrate is what saves you and it is unaffected by mind. Invest those 30 points into something useful. Managing cooldowns on your pet and aetherflow stacks is what makes you a good scholar. I bet i could heal coil in AF gear + ilvl90 weap just fine (minus twintania, and that's just because fireballs will kill me).

I play SMN as an alt so i went 10 vit and 20 int. I never looked back. Before i was running 30 vit and i can tell you, 5k hp makes some mechanics obsolete when you can just eat it and let your pet heal you up. Between 50 more on my heal and 450 hp, i'll take the later any day as i can't heal anyone dead. I also use selene for 90% of encounters. I think i only use eos for ifrit extreme and parts of turn 5. Simply because i do not need the extra healing.

A lot of people giving advice on this forum are poorly geared, poorly informed and have not done much more than 4 man content. Asking for advice here is a terrible idea; test things out yourself and use your own judgement. How many times have you wiped because you didn't heal for 50 more hp vs: someone screwed up and no heal could save them, or you ate too many aoes and forgot to heal yourself and died. I bet it's always the later 2.

It mostly boils down to bad tanks not using cooldowns when they should (mountain buster, eating a bomb, death sentence). Dps not moving out of aoes and healers blowing cooldowns at the wrong time. As a sch, put those points in vit, they will serve you better than mind, i can guarantee it.

Using DPSing as an argument is also bs, i dps titan extreme until adds and only switch out of cleric stance when other healer is jailed or for stomps. If a tank is getting low i can lustrate from cleric stance just fine or rouse my pet before a mountain buster and virus. If i healed for 50 more on physick, i'd be doing the same. I don't even bother using eos for the extra healing on anything other than ifrit extreme and some parts of turn 5.
