Just because it's not needed in a perfect raid environment and not shown in top tier parses doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Please stop putting words in my mouth that I didn't say.
I'm not distorting anything. You are trying to argue numbers and values in a vacuum without considering how healing in this game actually goes. SCH and WHM are extremely close in the HPS necessary for the content. "Maximum HPS" (or "HPS potential") are irrelevant in this argument because healers are not played that way. And the type of healing you're arguing for is unnecessary and inefficient. All that is needed is enough to survive. After that, your MP is spent better elsewhere. And this can honestly go for any content, because dungeons or 24-mans do not require massive overhealing or "displays of HPS potential". The outgoing damage for them is actually quite small.

As per the data - which is available for you to go see for yourself at any time you choose to see that I am not manipulating it - SCH is not massively behind WHM at most percentiles. And I'm talking the difference is perhaps a few hundred HPS. Not this massive difference that, again, would only be present in a vacuum. In a vacuum, WHM can outheal both, if due to nothing more than the MP sustain they have. But the vacuum is not actuality. I hope you understand that, because I'm arguing from the perspective of actuality. Not a vacuum. In actuality, all three healers push out nearly the same HPS as one another, which was my entire argument that you chose to counter. Again, the numbers are there for you to go view whenever you choose.


If you were aware that the context was discussing healing in raids, why even bring up (and continue to bring up) this irrelevant point of WHM's advantage? You seem upset that this conversation keeps going, but you were the one who started it, and who continues to feed it by replying to posters who disagree with you and present numbers to the contrary.

Sorry, you will not change my stance nor my declaration. And saying I'm manipulating data won't change it either. The numbers are there for everyone to see. No need to manipulate anything with regards to what I'm actually arguing. I hope you have a good rest of the day - I'm off to go finish up the Four Lords on my alt.
