SCH has none as of now, it has the best shields, the best over time healing, the best mana management, the best GCD usage, Insta AOE healing, the best OGCD single target heal with the best CD and can be used 3 times back to back.

So AST an WHM Only get to have high CD big heals in compensation... What the literal f***.
I never said that other healers shouldn't be able to dps. I love our WHM who aggressively puts up her dots and stone IIIs. It really keeps me watching, not only the tanks, but her as well for Cleric Stance/DPS casts. When the boss gets to about 8% we swap and use her burst to help get the kill faster. That is a WHMs strength. The other healers can dps just fine.


What are SCH weak at (aside from 15 second burst Windows?) Sustained AOE heals. Indom, deployment, and Emergency tactics helped to curb the issue. We do not have the raw healing power of medica II/medica/cure III spam of whm or asts raw helios/aspected. We have to go through a bunch of cds to make our aoe healing work.


Also, AST brings their dps to the party via cards. To even ask to nerf SCH would place AST right on top. Absolutely free and noticeable dps buffs, every time they draw a card, at no cost of mp, nor a limitation on their toolkit.
