Healer identity in 5.0

[Hustensaft]

I thought it too, the tanks are in worse position than healers because DRK not played enough (same for MCH for ranged dps).
But, in our case, SCH is played too much and this is a problem too (+ WHM issues, +AST Noct issues, etc).
I think SE can rework DRK without really to take into consideration the others tanks (same for MCH).
They can't tweak only WHM to hope things would be better. Every job need some king of rework to be able to not have a dominant healer (SCH) and a healer a bit far behind (WHM).

From a strict numerical standpoint, SCH is the weakest healer HPS wise. SCH would run out of MP the fastest if it would actually cast heals. SCHs personal DPS is lower then WHMs. There's a reason they could buff SCH from 4.0 to 4.3, because in solo-heal content (=Dungeons), SCHs performance was overall that poor.

SCHs toolkit just works extremely well with either WHM or AST. On the other hand, WHM and AST tookit doesn't work together. The reason everyone runs a SCH is because AST + WHM do not function together, not because SCH is hideously overpowered.

People should understand that savage healer performance is something that does matter overall very little. The vast majority of content, either dungeons or your generic alliance raid and normal dungeons (let's be honest, that your partner there is just dpsing is quite frequent) has to be healed alone, and every healer needs to be capable of doing so.
