    ok. first, as arcanist you should not be using physick in a dungeon unless things are *really* bad. Most times in low lvl dungeons healing is soooo easy, especially if you have a sch. Something about the way you have this worded makes me think the healers are putting forth the right amount of effort, I guess because you make it sound like this happens all the time. When I'm on SCH in a dungeon before Stone Vigil, I'm more dps'ing than healing. Anything under 30 especially Eos handles everything.

    Cleric Stance is good for sch, (smn doesn't get it, or need it) obviously need to use it properly and keep people healed. In dungeons even @ 50 unless tank is speedrunning I can get away with dps'ing and healing solely via lustrate (which is not affected by cleric stance)

    SCH and WHM have their advantages for endgame, but SCH is coming out ahead, except they're complimentary; you wouldn't want 2 of either.

    I haven't played WHM enough to say which is more fun, SCH can be more work if you need to place your fairy in specific places.

    If you wish to play both SCH and SMN I adamantly recommend levelling 2 characters. ...but then again I think 2 characters is good for anyone who plays enough.

    I don't suggest level 2 char, in long run, disadvantages should be more than advantages.
    unless you have 2 se accounts and you can play them simultaneously. ^^;

    Like what? Getting clears more than once? Unless you need to pay for every clear you get there's no way that's true.

    Only disadvantage I've ever had in running 2 characters is missing chat log logging from one to the other. I wasn't speaking from theory, I was speaking from practice.

    Oh and for some reason at least my PC really doesn't like running 2 at a time. I did that with me and my roommate's character while he still played and everything chugged. My PC runs about 10x the minimum benchmark score to run the game, actually probably closer to 15x considering I'm using lower settings and tested 15k ish on the benchmark.

    And anyway, things are too quick to make effective use of 2 characters really, unless you run a bot on the 2nd.

    For examples,
    you can make a pt when soloing Alex. map, another character just standing there as an insurance.
    you can set your SCH follow your SMN then can run low level roulette for both simultaneously.

    However, I wasn't speaking from practice, I was speaking from theory. ^^;
