Scholar is the better healer...

He still can't tank Titan HM

until i have visual proof of this, i remain unconvinced. sure whm can, but i have yet to see sch attempt.

@Ghishlain: effectively any class is perfectly capable of tanking a titan, but you would have to treat mountain buster as you would death sentence (you should be anyway).

Sch could take the hits same as I could, but much like the dps jobs, a sch wouldn't be able to hold enmity for the duration.

try spamming succor while spamming embrace with eos (not sure about the eos part)? (while periodically using aetherflow/energy drain)

Troll reversal!

I'm mildly certain that a whm can put out quite substantially more enmity than any other job in the game. From there it was a case of getting a solid team (who deserve the real credit, I only came up with the stupid idea and spammed medica/stoneskin) and lots and lots of hp!

Yes.. I can attest to SCH being the better healer. Got knocked off the platform in Titan HM before the heart phase. SCH finished the fight by himself (herself?) without my WHM. Even rez'd the tank once. I'm pretty sure WHM could not do that fight alone.

Both SCH and WHM can solo heal Titan. It's just a matter of player ability but also relies heavily on the rest of the party keeping screw-ups to a minimum.

I don't think that Scholar is necessarily the "better" healer (as each job has their own "niche," as it were, and they compliment each other), but...

My friends and I have taken to doing Wander's Palace runs with 3 Scholars + tank, and they are ridiculously fun. So many Eos, so little time! We actually finish almost as quickly as with a standard run of 2 DPS + healer + tank. It's ridiculous fun, so if you get the chance to do a run like that, I recommend it!



^^ That was our first attempt. Unfortunately our Pally buddy got a bit overzealous and ended up pulling EVERYTHING ON THE WAY TO THE FIRST BOSS. Even three scholars + three Eos + all our CDs couldn't save him (especially since we couldn't DPS since he was dying so fast). We are still teasing him about that. xD

Sch is not necessarly the best healer

The player playing the SCH or the WHM is the best healer

[Impurrrsive]

umm... can i kill this thread? (eventho i'm not capable of)
i cant believe this have not die yet

everyone just play their favorite class and be happy

I don't care if a BLM is a better healer. I like my WHM, and I am not going to level a SCH just because someone says it's the better healer. I will level a SCH just to have one, but I am not inspired to do so based on threads of these types.
