    But more importantly, I feel people are sleeping on SCH the most, hence why their win-rate is so surprising:

    • Constant -10% damage debuff aoe DoT;
    • Their DoT’s "fluff damage" wastes the enemy's mana and passively helps your teammates down focus-targets;
    • Mummify puts a ton of pressure on targets being focused;
    • Expedient can be up 1/3rd of the time. Your DoT’s -10% damage debuff to the enemy and the -10% damage taken buff to your team add up to a net -20% damage taken which is pretty damn saucy;
    • Their LB is surprisingly strong when fights turn into mosh-pits around the crystal. (The LB’s startup should be shortened though).

    SCH does have a good kit that synergizes with itself when played correctly. Also, it’s probably the most chill job to play out there because your focus isn't about carrying, but supporting your team more than any other job.

    Damn, discussing SCH just now has made me want to give it a spin when I get home later.
    I mean, over on the healer forums:

    SCH is worst PvP healer

    And then you had a few people understood just how good it is for the reasons you state.

    I disagree with the LB assessment. IMHO Seraph is one of the worst limit breaks because of the clunkiness of it. It's stationary and slow to activate. The seraph heals are frankly weak and it's main point is the status effect negation but the problem is it's only a single one and statuses get stacked way to easy in CC PvP.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
