Is there a reason a hefty chunk of SCH heals are unaffected by buffs

This does look like an oversight, but it may very well be that the SCH kit can keep up a WAR in all content, even if it's touchy. I find it further interesting considering Lore implies SCH/WAR is a powerful synergy, but numbers can't lie..

Lustrate used to be a straight +25% of the target's health, ignoring Healing reduction. Guess which Tank got the most 'raw' healing from that :P

I'd certainly be happy with a return to percent based healing. After all, my complaint is disparity, not the actual amount of healing done.

Ah, but, what about Emergency Tactics? The dropped MP cost of Adlo allows us to rely on it more easily, but Emergency had it's cooldown lowered in the last series of adjustments. While it still counts as an "ability" heal, trading the sheild for a double potency heal can absolve some of the issues.

The issue isn't whether a SCH CAN keep a WAR alive. I know I can. The issue is that there is a large disparity with the specific combo of SCH/WAR that does not exist for other heals or tanks. Of the nine possible combinations, this is the only one that has this much of a problem. Again, it isn't game breaking, but it is very noticeable.

The other side of it is that the lack of support for healing abilities (vs spells) by these various buffs (not just Defiance, though it is the most significant in my opinion) impacts SCH far more than the other two. As a tank, I throw up Convalescence expecting to get extra heals from my healer. Fortunately, I'm a DRK, not a WAR, but if I was a WAR, I'd be concerned if my SCH healer was aware of the fact that his or her heals won't actually heal any better.

On a side note, the post length restriction on this forum really is a bit ridiculous.
