Fairly hefty discrepancy between WHM and SCH

[PArcher]

I don't have my SCH up yet, but running that fight as a WHM I rarely, if ever used Esuna. I always kept Stoneskin on everyone (but tank) and never had to deal with it. I've assumed that the SCH's effect would work fine there, and based on what's been said in the thread I was right.

But yeah, healing through it is also possible...Brayflox and all the poison, anyone?

Never had issues with a SCH healing Brayflox or Cutter's Cry as long as they were paying attention to what they should be doing. What I have seen however is in AK and WP, the SCH's don't like to even use leeches often.

On a sidenote, the only issue I see is the Fairies dropping on the 1st and Last Boss in AV. I wouldn't mind seeing fairies receive AOE Resistance or Immunity. But even in AV, a SCH can heal it no problem if they pay attention. Course paying attention and positioning for many DF healers is a problem. But a problem they simply need to fix themselves.

I had Eos out during Aurum Vale and checked her buff window. She was at 50%hp and just embracing herself away with 9 stacks of that debuff... Inefficient use of Embrace, but hey. I'd recommend for those fights that SCHs have swiftcast and just resummon after so many stacks.

As for the lack of Leeches until 40... as a SCH who went from 32-38 almost 100% from Brayflox I know this discrepancy well. It is doable, but man that poison is rough. CC is little different but I never had much issue with it particularly when using shields effectively.

I dunno, I had no issues healing through Cutter's Cry or Brayflox as SCH. I thought it was easier on SCH than it was on WHM.

That's really annoying. I don't think fairies should get those debuffs, since there's no way to get rid of it. Also, I beat Titan tonight (my first time making it through without dying, yay!) and she almost died on the last phase.

Brayflox was easier as a scholar and so was CC. Maybe it was experience, with my WHM being my first class, or gear, or both. I found it incredibly easy to heal both these dungeons. You just had a bad healer. No arsonal of skills would have helped him.

I've been doing Brayflox as WHM and SCH and its pretty equal (mana management for WHM, working with poison stacks for SCH). I've done Cutter's Cry only as SCH and Stone Vigil as well recently. I found myself often in difficulty when deadling with frequent AoE (Stone Vigil especially). Does anyone would have advice on this ?

In general, I found that SCH is better when you already know the fights.

SCH is a proactive healer with very poor ability to react to unexpected damage. As a result, you're better off pre-bubbling everyone with Succor rather than trying to heal everyone up after the fact.

Running as a SMN main, I realized that I am incredibly rusty as a healer.
I haven't healed in a long time, focusing on getting my other classes leveled.
Healing and to a certain extent Scholar specifically, is probably one of the jobs that you need to be on top of your game all the time.

I helped out a FC member last night in SV as SCH and I confess that I was very self-conscious about my job.
It is important though that we look at our job and realize and accept our shortcomings and fix them.
Know what you have to do to become better and get it done.

I just unlocked Scholar recently and easily healed Brayflox; Adloq is more than enough to handle it - but I don't think that was the OP's point. If they are going to design boss fights and content with certain mechanics in mind, then there has to be an equivalency in dealing with those mechanics. AKA- if at 30+ you want healers to dispel, then you had better give both healers dispel at 30

Of course it can be brute forced with Adloq, but it shouldn't have to be.

Don't remember having any issue in this dungeon as SCH.... Aurum Vale however..... T_T
