Shroud of Saints is Broken...and NOT in a good way

[CalvatE]

Even if SCH/SCH would be the best and easiest way to clear content, who'd want to clear content easily?

Where would be the challenge in that?
Wanting to clear content in the easiest of all ways sounds to me like a bad excuse for making up with someone else's "badness" :P

I think you underestimate gamers in general. If the easy way is available, most people will take it. This includes for all walks of life.

If you ever doubt the issues with mp management, watch a group do Enrage on T2 and see the 2 WHM are suffering by the end, while the SCH is sitting well over 2-3k for mana. I think shroud should be adjusted according to the total pool(not just because of T2-enrage; that is an example of the discrepancy). It doesn't make sense for SCH to have a massively OP mana regen skill +energy drain when they get free fairy casts and not have something even in the ballpark for WHM. I don't think both groups should play the same, but the emphasis on WHM having to take up AOE heals seems like a punishment when they cannot reasonably heal back mp as fast. And blaming DPS is kind of a lousy excuse, since it implies the WHM has to be dependent on another person, while SCH can roam free.

For the record, I play SCH as my main. I love that class and even though I have a WHM that is equally geared, I constantly switch back unless there are Party Finder restrictions.

I watched a WHM tank Titan HM. Still waiting to see a SCH do it.

color me surprised if anyone showed me proof of a SCH solo healing Titan x.

6 dps. I just solved it for you. 1 tank.

It should be stated however that solo healing anything above Garuda X (Titan HM if you don't have all the gears just yet) is heavily based on how well the other party member play their jobs.

^ Fixed that for ya. Unless you're arguing that you're "successfully" solo-healing fights where a team can't get to/complete Titan HM heart phase due to multiple deaths (weakness affects all stats, not just vit) and people eating Landslides (can't be rez'd). =)

Also: Necro posting is fun! (This thread was done months ago.)

Solo healing period is heavily based on how well the party plays. If you can't dodge, you tunnel vision, forget mechanics, not where you're supposed to be when you're supposed to be, you kill the healer. Oh and if you can't push high enough numbers.

It is a positive thing that they are different O_O
