Fairly hefty discrepancy between WHM and SCH

[kukurumei]

Since we have no hard 4 man dungeons( and likely stay this way) it's a non issue.

in 8 mans, rarely will a sch and a whm every cross paths in duties. Especially 2.2 content. They are just too different and need to be different.

You can't compare them where they need to be compared.

I didn't have time to read through all pages, since I'm leaving to work in a bit, but in case no-one else told: SCH's are pre-emtpive healers, they have shields and dmg taken reducting abilities, so I'm advising on getting stoneskin for yourself.

With a full stoneskin (hasn't take any hit after getting it) the DoT of the Abyss Worm doens't take effect (or atleast didn't before 2.28) because the stoneskin doesn't get broken.

Some other uses for stoneskin is also for example at WP's last boss which, for some reason, has gotten to 6 stacks and the tank tanking doens't have Holmgang/Hallowed Ground at that moment(and isn't ilvl90+ tank with alot of experience:
Cast adloquium -> stoneskin -> another adloquium and throw a virus on the Tonberry King(and if you want to take this to extreme, throw the Sacred Soil too) and then, you just have successfully saved your tank from certain death.

To get back to topic(kinda): SCH's can heal every dungeon in this game, it's just a matter of thinking as a scholar, not as a white mage when healing. This is my first MMO, and well, SCH was the first of the two healers I had at 50, and because of that I just suck at healing as a WHM cause I can't switch to thinking as a WHM when healing on WHM.
