    “SCH’s kit makes you go huh”

    Why? Why is internal conflict amongst skills so weird to understand. You can only expend your energy doing so much, you can’t do everything at the same time. Why is SCH’s kit disjointed for doing that?

    It’s also the class with by far the strongest overall mitigation and shielding potential. I’d argue like SGE it still has too much pure healing but it’s not like SGE where it feels like a regen healer they put shields on the GCD. What is actually your problem with SCH? Because as it stands now while I lament the loss of HW SCH modern SCH is about the best we are going to get for their awful healer design

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    yes potential. but dancer also has that potential doing great damage but doesn't always work out that way. specially when manage crit Alpo . scholar requires alot of tank / healer synergy if tank doesn't use proper top of your mitigation its all for not. most tanks kinda face rolling there keyboard. relaying on others use proper abilities for your abilities to truly shine isn't good game design . in a perfect world. where everyone plays there job right correctly makes no errors but we dont live in that world. moment you queue into a dungeon or do dailies. you find said people every

    another situation paint out. lot healers really lazy. do not keep up the tank.. scholar topping someone off at low level is lot harder then said whm/ast for that matter. low level feels like your panic heal. at first eos doesn't heal very good. if your max level and your raider. this has nothing to do with you. only time you experience low end content is if you queue up for dailies. shield healing in general becomes extremely annoying to deal with when your tank wall to wall pulls. trying heal below level 30 you have no access to any sheilds. only healin psychic and fair. u will be spamming that it. adlo you spam also trying get that big juicy shield off. hoping your tank has cooldown to spend on it. so prolong the sheild.

    This kinda goes to show how used to FFXIV some player's minds are, they would just explode if mana had any actual meaning and you had to conserve your output and balance it. >.<

    I mean, in particular support jobs should be all about having more they could do (or would want to do) but lacking time and resources to doing all of it. That's kinda the thing that makes supports enjoyable to play, as a concept, it underpins the very idea of a support role.
