I'm sick of it.

There's a video of 8 War titan EX.
Healers, Paladins and DPSers are useless?

Oooo like Titan EX isn't old news and the people who ran this were heavily coordinated and cleared through 13 , Xenos group so yeah it's doable but not by your average raid team lulz....all jobs are viable if they weren't show me your T13 clear with strictly WARs and I'll quit FF forever

Thank you for proving my point .
It was a response to the poster above me that uses the 4 man t9 example.

SCH is literally required to survive gigaflares in T13. Don't listen to trolls.

I beg to differ, as it was solo healed by a WHM.

That said I find them pretty balanced.

Mostly anytime someone attempts to solo heal anything these days, they'll go SCH instead of WHM because a well-played SCH will have a higher consistent healing output over time and greater damage mitigation abilities from a single job. Personally I don't play SCH very well but my static's SCH is frickin' amazing and there's no content that I wouldn't be comfortable with him healing.

This is why healer gear sets should be job specific. White mages are out shadowed by scholars in raid and dungeon content. But who cares that white mage is underpowered because you can go scholar on real content with gear working for both jobs minus main hand.

Amusing to see how this turned into a WHM bashing thread.

Doing 180 DPS in T13 being SCH is a nice thing to have, but nothing one should use for bragging. People tend to forget that behind every awesome SCH in cleric stance, there is a amazing WHM who dedicates himself to solo healing certain phases, with SCH assisting during crucial impacts. Tunnel vision and self-glorification lead to a very selective point of view. There is a good reason why almost all statics bring both healers to the endgame.

Oh and... there is absolutely no content in this game that was not solo healed by either class. So your point about SCH being the master race for solo healing content is invalid. It all boils down to the skill of the said player and his group.

According to the majority of SCH players : SCH IS SOOO 1337! UBER LULZ! WTFBBQOMG WHM SUXXORS YOLO
According to the majority of WHM players: WHM IS BETTUR! YOEZ BE WRONG! WHM IS DA SHIZZLE

What a lot of people here seem to fail to realize that SCH and WHM create a synergy together. It's proven multiple times over; that having 2 WHM or 2 SCH is less effective than 1 WHM and 1 SCH.

Sure there are fights that have 1 healer type excel over the other, sure you have exceptions of groups doing difficult content like a breeze, but that is a very small minority, definitely not the majority.

Both classes are viable, both excel in one area better than another. We'll see what Heavensward brings.

I don't understand why people are bashing one class over another. We are in the Healer subforums, we should be bashing lousy DPS or Tanks :P
