Starter healer... WHM?

[Imora]

Yeah I already did msq. This is just a "I want a healer at 80."

I'm almost 50 on SCH, gonna see how that plays at higher levels I guess. Bonus points, Selene matches my glamour.

I'm a bit concerned about output though. When I tank, if I get a scholar they can't keep me up on big pulls. I don't want to be that healer.

SCH has it fairly easy to keep a tank healthy in big pulls at all levels.
Use Whispering Dawn for ST healing aswell in big pulls, use Fey Illumantion when you notice you'll have to Adlo spam soon, don't use Sacred Soil ST until it gets the regen trait at 78, pre-shield between pulls.
And once you've unlocked these skills: pre-Excog when you get it between pulls, not just during a pull.
Dissipate either at the end of a pull for 3 free AF + stronger pre-pull Adlo or if you need a lot of burst healing through Adlo + Lustrate spam during a pull. Missing out on auto heals will be outweighed by the gain of additional AF + higher healing magic potency.
Use Aetherpact at the start of a pull after getting WD out, not just once a tank's HP starts plummeting.
Use Recitation on Excog before a pull.

The mistake many SCHs make is that they treat their tools as emergency tools and use them too late. If someone Aetherpacts only when they start having trouble with keeping the tank alive, it's too late. It's about preventing it from happing in the first place. Or they ignore WD or traited SS for tank healing just because it's an aoe heal. Or they spam Physick because it has the higher burst healing than Adlo although Adlo is far stronger in pulls where the tank gets thrashed.

Very fair and true and the third paragraph is my fav part. May I ask about something? A friend of mine does old exs such as arr for fun no echo ilvl mini and i guess the bis for that. he state ifrit is very intense with heals but the comp is whm/ sch. I ask why not ast/sch this was probably before we got the nice mp rework and draw now gives mp back. Cause I think it was one of those reasons but or something about ast kit not good for it. am thinking cards and div is there aspected helios is there and ed and what not and medic 2 is too expensive and whm themself suffer mp issue under heavens ward things. Would a Di ast not be more viable now even in old exes like arr ones than whm?
