Would you consider greedy DPS Mechanics on Tanks/Healers good or bad?

Energy drain is an internal limiter on SCH’s bonkers theoretical HPS. SCH is already the strongest healer, it doesn’t also need to be the highest throughput healer

The only problem people run into with “selfish SCH’s” is the fact that if the shield healer is uncooperative the regen healer is basically useless because the game NEEDS a shield healer but a regen healer is basically optional. So if you are a WHM/AST and you have a SCH that refuses to use soil it can affect your progress but I think that’s a necessary evil for the fact that ED is why SCH’s healing kit is so well designed (well for a modern 14 healer)

A non selfish SCH is basically just SGE which just trades SCH’s cutting edge value for…….pointless HPS? What great design

The funny thing is, they are strongest in terms of DPS followed by Ast then SGE, and then whm.

Maybe I'm not reading it right but this hasn't been what I've been seeing in the funny numbers site with the current Savage tier and FRU lately. All but AST tends to be really close but SCH's generally been on the bottom.

Since DT of the three that aren’t AST SCH tends to have the highest peaks but the lowest average (as it’s the hardest healer) but damage wasn’t really my original point in that anyway. SCH is the strongest healer because of everything else it offers

If we're honest, the "harder" jobs aren't played much. Take BLM's long history for example.

And I've thought it was reasonable for BLM to have dps rivaling Melees because of that, making its risks come with a return.

Ohh right, I probably should be caring more about the peaks in this context. I guess that variance is caused by how much its output can change based on how safe you plan to use it, and how much its kit can offer compared to the others.

Peaks and average are both important for healers as SCH/AST are quite dependent on party alignment for their buffs to actually get full value. A high peak and low average on SCH basically means in an optimised group SCH is the best but YOUR SCH probably isn’t the best

It’s just that SCH offers so much more than its damage that even if you have a relatively poor SCH damage wise they can still offer so much more than a SGE or a WHM
