Scholar is the better healer...

[Euphe]

Well put...

[Richiealvian]

There's no better healer, there's situations where one is better than the other. I'm a SCH and I just recently leveled a WHM, and I'm doing twintania at the moment. I don't think 2 scholars or 2 white mages would outperform 1 scholar 1 whitemage any day, any dungeon.

I think it would for twintania. 2 soil rotation permenant 10% dmg reduction on tank . Extra 2-3 lustrates to bypass healing debuff and 1 extra full power virus.
Faries heal while you are stunned i think as well lol.
Theres also the extra dps sch can provide from their 100% accurate dots and serene.

Sch is an amazing spot healer with their fairy. They can heal raid members for free while tank healing themselves or top up two people at the same time . Embrace and physick on two raid members would heal them up faster individually then a group heal from whm. Lustrate as a raid heal tool is invaluble too, whm has nothing that compares to lustrate raid healing tool.

Let say in situation like twintania dive bomb. 2 idiots got hit by dive bombs now they are at 20% hp. Need a top up fast! Sch can embrace +lustrate 1 raid member and then physick and lustrate another. Near the same time that it would take a whm to cure 2 one.

Sacred soil + Succor+ free embraces + occasional whispering dawn isnt exactly bad raid healing. Succor is better in some situations. Again twintania, how amazing is surviving a fireball with 10hp when you had succor previously.

You can't compare WHM and Scholar. Both play very differently and a WHM simply burry the pure healing part of the equation by beein far more powerfull that a scholar will ever be. They both have different styles, different gameplay, different approach.

If you want to maximize probabilities of success, then you need both WHM and SCH in the party.
The only exception is Caduceus, where I strongly suggest the double WHM because of the sudden strong hits the tanks will receive, that can be difficult for a SCH. But still, if the SCH knows what he does, it's still better WHM and SCH.
Don't know why people keeps comparing classes, they're DIFFERENT. Each one has its strengths and weaknesses, WHM is strong in healing but weak in buffing and preventing, SCH is slightly weaker than WHM in heals but he can prevent lots of damage and has a pet supporting the party.
Stop comparing them, they are DIFFERENT, they have DIFFERENT skills, DIFFERENT stats, DIFFERENT purposes. And they work together, each one covering the other's weaknesses.

Don't know why people keeps comparing classes

Because they fill the same role and are therefore competing for slots in dungeons and raids?

They may have the same role, but they don't heal the same way, so it's totally useless to compare them, no one is better than the other.
How can you not understand something that simple? The WHM and the SCH are TOTALLY different healers.
I can see from your words that you have NEVER healed a single party in your life, and if you have, then you must be really stupid.

WHM has Repose. With a pick up game and a WAR tank spamming Overpower, it's not helpful... but in all other situations Repose is great at mitigating damage. I've been leveling WHM for Stoneskin on my SCH (took CNJ to 27, then ACN/SCH to 35, and just dinged 30 on WHM), and as a WHM, Reposing the enemies #2, #3, #4 etc. is just as good at eliminating damage spikes as Adloquim + Faery is.

I like the play style of SCH better personally, but WHM can do a lot of things that SCH can't. (Just as much as SCH can do a lot of things WHM can't)

I hope WHM remains a usefull class...it's my only lvl 50 >.>
