I don't know, I'd support this just to see Selene beating up Bahamut. Maybe to compensate, WHMs can get a scholarly healing carbuncle? That way WHMs can just handle all the healing and mitigation and SCHs can DPS full time.

I mean like the other classes don't act so heated towards each other in a personal point of view.
Most drgns and mnks etc fight over damage output while we fight about things not related to this game lol and be all like ok there kid keep thinking that. Also how much popcorn do healers buy? Seriously every wtf healer topic has a popcorn thing going on.
I think this thread in particular is full of people who are joking, and people taking the jokes too seriously... but overall I take your point. Honestly I'm not sure. I'd see it a little more as like WAR vs PLD, but even that doesn't get as heated as this whole WHM vs SCH thing.

I suspect part of it might be the mindset of players that identify with each job. For example... SCH has many different capabilities and 'enough' healing to get through a lot of content, but it can also DPS pretty well, so it's very appealing to a minmaxer mindset.

WHM is a very powerful healer (both single target AND raid healing), but even with optimal rotation* its DPS is considerably less than SCH's and, well... it's basically just a healer. Or much closer to a plain healer than SCH. In line with WAR vs PLD, my suspicion is that a lot of people see jobs with less flexibility/utility (i.e. more specialized), even if they are very good at what they do, as inferior.

*lol, I know I know. But some DPSing WHMs don't bother with one or both Aeros and only use Stone II
