SCH is gimp, pls buff, WHM is too stronk

[Raminax]

Nonetheless, rotating in DoTs does boost WHM's rather low single target DPS. Not that much, as you point out, but it's a noticeable difference. Not to mention their use when you need to drop out of cleric for a few seconds, keeps the numbers from dropping too drastically.

Well, duh. I was just thinking in the sense of dungeon trash and low health adds and stuff. Not worth DoTing up things that die in less than 10 seconds.

Fair enough. I was thinking more along the lines of boss mobs with almost no damage output, such as garuda HM.

Guys, please buff SCH. I have both jobs at i120 and SCH is so bad is not even funny anymore.

All I can say is this, if you are trying to heal like a WHM on SCH, you're playing SCH wrong. I macro my SCH a lot, healing on SCH is so easy a result for me. Also, WHM is all about catch up heals after the damage is already done, SCH has some mitigation that WHM doesn't, and can help a ton if you use the spells at the right time and place and actually can have SCH outdoing WHM as a result. Like all those times someone missed a door in Lost City and my Sacred Soil and Succor saved everyone's butts by limiting the damage taken, for example. WHM doesn't have nearly the same options when it comes to mitigation.

I think they know, but they just can't help but to "contribute" to these threads in a serious way just to show off they know the game. It's like this thought goes through their mind:

"Ok... I know this is a joke, I know he's not serious BUT, if I don't give all the pros and cons that whms and schs have, people won't know that I'm a pro, so I gotta reply and show off my mad skillz".

I'm thinking of leveling up my fisher. Any tips?

When it bites, don't just pull it right off. Give a little fight, like the fish is in control, like the fish knows better. Then when it least expects, pull it as fast as you can and say it was all a joke and they just got baited. Sell your trophy on the MB for 100m. Ez profit.

Yep, probably the biggest issue is many attempt to play SCH like it's WHM, a reactive healer and end up not playing the job well at-all.

Of course for mitigation all they have is Stoneskin and cross-classing welfare-versions of our EoE and Virus, if they even use them properly.

Not causing a stir here because I main both jobs

Bad! We don't use that kind of language around here!

Haha, yeah. Just because we can't make the hp bars go up until they go down is no reason not to anticipate the fight and set up via precasting or whatnot.
