Not too excited about dpsing as healer endgame, better go WHM ?

[Cynfael]

I dread feeling forced to hybrid into dps or not feeling like a main, or full, healer.

The SCH's more flexible GCD-management game aside, this is a feature of the system, not the Job.

Either healer role is perfectly capable as a "full healer." The thing is that the pace of combat in this game is based more or less around a 2.5s GCD, meaning that healers who choose to pretend that their DPS abilities don't exist are literally standing around doing nothing when there's healing downtime or are slopping unnecessary heals or buffs just to give the appearance of being busy.
