You could make it like kills with different tiers that have different titles

The only way to really farm it is to get locked into a long deadlocked battle for a long time, but there it's kind of encouraging you to stick with your group and heal people.

The only problem I have with this way of doing it is that any reasonable number for WHM/AST is completely unreasonable for Scholar. Adding in shields helps, but Medica II / Diurnal Helios are way more healing than Scholar can ever hope to put out while focused on their job.

I think my personal healing record in a match is a bit over 550k, and that's with 4 LBs. I've seen White Mages end with more than that without even trying, and well over 1 mil when they're trying as hard as that 550k.

He mentions not including overheals, so the number at the end of the match wouldn't reflect the actual amount healed.

A SCH/AST therefore would beat the WHM due to instant-cast heals beating the WHMs regens that 90% of the time overheal.

Scholar's focus is still very strongly biased toward single targets, though - as powerful as Scholar's instant heals are, the passive healing from WD/Medica II/Benefic Helios adds up fast in the presence of light AoE damage. In my experience, WHM and Diurnal wind up with significantly more real healing than Scholar/Noct just from healing people from 90% to full repeatedly.

Factor in how SCH wants to be played (very high % Adlo, vit and/or Field Commander gear) and I don't think it's hard to see how that might be the case

I hear you, it would be a little easier for a WHM/AST then scholar, but I don't think the difference would be that huge (maybe ~30% more games or so for SCH). The big numbers you see WHM with at the end of matches are mostly from overheals, and a significant proportion of heals actually come from healer LB which all healers benefit from equally. As WHM I often keep medica 2 and regens up even when full hp pre-preemptively and these count towards the stats at the end but I'd argue they should be excluded towards a cheevo. Also almost all healers I know run VIT/Field Commander (ast,whm,sch) so everyone has this disadvantage.

The main thing though is it's relatively simple, better than nothing, and you have the same issue with # of kills. For example, when I go paladin I'm generally not pulling as many kills as my friends who go SMN or WAR, but even if I'm just chipping away at the kill cheevo, at least I feel like I'm getting something out of each match vs. the maybe 1 kill I get as healer.
