Crit and Scholars

[Penthea]

Anyway, maxing Determination is just a boring flat ~10% increase in heals, Piety sucks, and Spell Speed is just ok. So there's really nothing else to build that would make healing more exciting.

I'm not sure how crit makes it more exciting though. It's not like sch has a wealth of mechanics that change how they act when you crit.

Well other than seeing big numbers, that's always nice no matter what you play.

We have one, which is more than a lot of other classes, more than any of our other stats, and when it goes off and is successfully deployed it's a PRETTY solid feeling.

Critical Hit is the number go to stat for SCH. SCH benefits a lot from Crit compared to other healers with the shielding aspect and how MP expensive GCD heals are for SCH. Critical Hit oGCD and fairy heals are nice too.

Determination is a good 2nd stat to get since it just a potency increase on heals/damage. Fairy is affected by Determination as well.

Piety scaling is really bad on SCH. We get less MP than other healers per point of Piety.

Spell speed is okay but is not as beneficial to most of SCH's toolkit.

Direct Hit is a good stat to take instead of Determination if your group allows to you maintain 95%+ DPS uptime. Having to spend more time with GCD heals reduces the advantage of Direct Hit since it does nothing for healing.
