Scholars - missing the point

@ People complaining fairy comes off steady if you use embrace.... why are you using embrace manually? As was said on earlier pages of the threat, place your fairy correctly and you will never need to manually cast embrace.

One, sometimes I don't want to wait for the <80% (maybe 75%) for the fairy to decide hey its time to heal. Two, triage because some people are not as important as others in some circumstances. Three, split healing rather then having to reposition my fairy to heal say some ranged dps for maintenance heals I can just cast embrace on said dps and let said fairy make it work while keeping myself focused on the tank who is more likely to take spiked damage. Five, its my damn fairy I should be able to do what I want with her without having combat broken game mechanics.

Yes, fairy placement is very important, I still would like to have the amount of control that I desire and apparently some others as well.

This, pretty much. Manually casting Embrace constantly also has the added benefit of higher uptime of the spell haste buff from your pet critting.

WHM + SCH gives at least a good 50% of win probability than 2WHM or, worse, 2SCH.
The WHM heals HPs and casts Stoneskin at the beginning, SCH buffs either dps or heal to get the party to their maximum potential.
You can have a bad party and competent WHM+SCH and win a Titan HM run.

Funfact: A competent player is always better than an incompetent one.
But it still doesn't change the fact that 2x whms > 2x sch.
As far as I understand what people want is the following:
2x whm = 2x sch but still underperform the 1x whm 1x sch combo and there is nothing wrong with that. Nobody wants the other class to be inferior.

[Hysterior]

4 man group: SCH > WHM
8 man group: WHM+SCH > WHM+WHM > SCH+SCH
that's how I see it

but I did SCH+SCH until Garuda with no problem
I cannot say about Titan though...

I've finished turn 4 with SCH/SCH and it went amazing. we CAN aoe heal enrage and the tank heals are amazing with 2 sch's and 2 eos's it was pretty easy. dont underestimate SCH+SHC guys! just need to be coordinated

Yep! its very enjoyable. almost always a 10% SS down and keeping eye/virus on rotate with our summoner as-well. i used to be an avid person to agree with SCH buffs but now im not so sure. we are VERY strong. all you need to get is your BiS and your pretty much set. so for any potential sch's out here. get your af2 chest FIRST then get a vanya hat of healing and slot materia into it then fill with allagan pieces from there.

Well, I assume you balance the little loss of healing power with the big dps gain due to double buffs. I really love SCH, after BLM (Swiftcast, you know XD), it's gonna be my next job

At the final stage of Turn 4 we switch to eos eos so we can steady her and and have Whispering dawn on rotate and blow our rouse at the same time we then switch out between tank heal and succor so it goes

Me: Succor
Them:heal tank
Them:succor
Me:heal tank

its also ALOT easier now that i can actually tell eos to heal while i am. but yes selene is a huge DPS gain *_* yay a new SCH <3
