I still don't see the point, sorry. "Healing up" or "Shielding up" is basically the same thing. More shield means more HP - it is LITERALLY the same thing as healing more, with the advantage that you can safely overheal with it.

More Max HP is amazing, the reason it is useful is because Scholar and White Mage using a big heal at the same time, which they will means that nothing will happen because they overhealed too much. Meanwhile the scholar could of been keeping up its better sustained healing.

People GREATLY underestimate how awesome max HP is.

Sorry, >~< I have been having trouble seeing today.

What if you are solo-healing? Or there is mechanics that ignore Galvanize/Stoneskin similar to Convert? Or what if there are mechanics that work based on current HP % where lower HP means bad things?


Raw Healing and Shield Healing are NOT the same. They are drastically different and have different uses. Adloquium and Succor often suffer greatly for having half their potency tied to the shield (more on Succor than Adlo because of the crit effect on Adlo) but being able to OPTIONALLY turn Adloquium into a stronger raw means you can heal heavy damage more reliably without having to resort to weaving in Lustrate and use up excessive Aetherflow charges you might want to use on something else such as Sacred Soil and Energy Drain or even Bane (or maybe whatever else they'll add that consumes Aetherflow).
Saying "WHM/AST can do it" is just really dumb, then you may as well just accept that people rather take WHM+AST in their compositions because SCH are too stubborn to utilize a good optional tool "because the other healer can do it".

If i'm solo healing there shouldn't be any problems with needing to heal anyone solo, mostly its the group that needs help more then the tank. In which succor would of been a lot better.

Succor does not.

You "NEVER" want 2 Scholars. You want 1.

Honestly though, the barrier regen, the normal regen, and medica II regen all together looks SEXY and fun.
