    Overall I prefer SCH for its ease of stance-dancing and single target clutch healing. Between Aetherflow mechanics and the fairy, I definitely feel less constrained by the almighty GCD and easily able to provide supplemental DPS without risk, also thanks to large, constant damage shields.

    WHM I like for its ability to casually heal through big AoEs and to help faceroll trash content with Holy assist.

    I main scholar. I find healing after the damage is done too stressful, I'd rather prevent it. Sure I need to know the fights really well, but these days I only do second coil (working on t9), and everyone needs to know the fights. I feel naked without a fairy haha! I only use my white mage on stupid easy content just to have fun or to spiritbind stuff for crafting materias (holyyy). Oddly enough, I hate summoner but am in love with scholar. I rarely feel the need to split my heals between the fairy and me, but my macros as set up in a way that lets me do it if I want. I have embrace on a separate key.

    I end up panicking when my fairy dies, I never seem to catch up to the tank's HP without her, even lustrating burns. As WHM, I do feel more confident in my burst heals, but my fairy is like a safety net for me.

    Are there any instances where you wish you had rolled SCH or WHM instead of the opposite, like maybe a turn in coil, or an EX Primal?

    I like running Expert Duty Roulette as a Scholar because that last boss in Stone Vigil is a hit and miss in duty finder. Some people take too many hits, and my WHM can't heal through that healing debuff as efficiently as a Scholar. This is also the case for Hydra and Tam-Tara Hard Mode where big pulls + disease means Lustrate is godly. +_+

    For Titan Extreme, I like healing on a WHM in the rare occasion where my random group doesn't have enough DPS for super bomb. Cure III x2 does the trick, and is necessary for surviving situations like that.

    I "prefer" is different from "I think this job is the best in this situation"

    If I'm doing a dr low, I prefer having Esuna availble.

    I rather SCH. I'm having a hell of a time getting whm to 34. I always feel stressed on whm, where sch I rarely do. Currently I main both SMN/SCH and am building up to their i90 sets. Haven't gotten relic for SCH yet, mainly because I wanted better gear before having to heal HM primals (as leveling up, sch rarely got upgrades lol) I'm still learning fairy managment; dont have any issue with Garuda.
    I'd love to get WHM to 50; but with as much trouble as I've had of it so far I doubt it will happen any time soon/at all.

    I prefer WHM for a few reasons even though I like SCH also.

    I'm not one to care about over healing because at the end of the day, there is no negative aspect to it unless you're blowing MP like a moron. I love pet jobs, but the fact of having to rely on a pet and also Aetherflow is a bit annoying to me on SCH, although I do appreciate how easy SCH is to play lol No need to worry about MP, Lustrates for OH CRAP moments... It's an easy job, and that's mainly why I prefer whm. You get 1 emergency heal every 5 min that takes almost two seconds to go off lol I'm a huge fan of AoE everything and WHM excels at both healing and dps using AoE.

    Another reason is because my main is SMN and I don't feel comfortable being short on 30 MND.

    I stance dance a lot on WHM idk whatchall talkin bout lol Oh and also Holy, my fave move in the game.
