Which Healer has the best DPS Solo

[Eloah]

We aren't talking about raids or end game content, this persons specifically asked who has the best DPS in solo content. The correct answer is WHM. If you go on a Target Dummy, and attack it for 10 minutes straight, WHM wins hands down every single time. This whole thing about Burst, Sustained, ETC. means absolutely nothing when talking about solo content.

WHM has the highest potencies on all of their spells, Stone IV > Broil II... ETC... The only reason SCH is beating them is because of off global cooldown heals, not because they have superior HPS or DPS... In solo content, there is no co-healer you can force to use GCD heals. Which gets me back to my main point, they are talking about SOLO content.

WHM is the best for solo content by far.

Furthermore, I'll agree SCH has "reigned supreme", more than any other healer throughout the entire games patches after the first expansion. But if you seriously think they have reigned supreme throughout every single patch and during 2.0 entirely, you are completely ignorant. I remember when lvl 50 was the max in binding coil of bahamut turn 2, my FC strongly encouraged me to level a WHM to 50 so we could entirely skip mechanics. Double WHM, was completely broken back then for T2, we could skip doing mechanics and just DPS it.

I really hope what you stated was a hyperbole of a situation that needs to be fixed.

3 things:

1: Wow, just wow. Did anything in my answer warrant an attack on my personal intelligence. I wont degrade myself with a rebuttal here, but maybe you should think a bit more carefully before you reply to someone else's post.

2: My answer was SCH, because I said most "fights" were designed for sustained DPS, not most content. Last I checked, solo content still has various fights that need to be overcome.

You aren't inaccurate about what you said about the striking dummy either. But, as I'm sure you are aware, hitting a dummy is completely different than hitting a moving target that cannot attack back, with no mechanics to avoid. Plus the Coil reference you made is an example of a burst mechanic, which I believe I said WHM was better at, so...

3: There is no right answer to the OPs question. It is an open ended question, whose answer will be dependent on the responders personal experience. I gave my reason as to why I felt SCH had the best DPS, but that doesn't mean I am right. Just as you giving your reason doesn't make yours right either.
