Why the SCH hate from WHM?

[Aphrini]

No, I will tell you what my personal issue is because I do have issue however it is NOT SCH specific it is bad healer specific. I have seen it more often with SCH however and there is a reason for it. Last night I did multiple Garuda runs and one factor was consistent with my runs where the PT kept on wiping a bad SCH. I emphasize bad SCH because it was not the job itself. The main thing I think is it is easy to be a little bit lazier when your heals are being managed by an NPC and in every case I was watching the SCH focus on everything but healing they would only jump in when the pt heal was low.

this was very, very taxing the few times that I really needed help. It happens with whm too btw, but in whm case we HAVE to cast on you ourselves which makes being a little lazy a little bit more obvious. THAT all stated NOTHING is better than having a SCH as my team mate I LOVE the yin and yang of the two jobs in harmony and I would never berate the job, I need my SCHs ; ;

To be fair, this works on most trash mobs. Even in higher dungeons you can leave 90% of the healing to the fairy and focus on DPSing. Only when a tank pulls multiple enemy groups or someone else draws aggro you will have to actively heal (and sometimes the fairy can even take care of that).

But this is not true is boss battles. You will have to actively heal, and use the fairy as support instead of the other way around.

And I agree with others that having both is probably the best combination

As far as I can recall, you can solo heal garuda easily if the team, apart from your so-called 'bad sch', is good at doing their job.

This attitude of yours is the reason of what the OP said. If you keep wiping at garuda with 1 bad sch, it's either your team is bad (OT & dps), or your healing as whm is also bad.

Funny to me how you are pretty much calling me elitist and your entire post reeks of pure cocky asshatery, "Easily" if you DON'T SUCK, then you can EASILY solo Garuda. Pot calling kettles colors doesn't suit me well and I was one of the only honest people to have posted here, they asked why the beef I explained. First off these were PUGs in every case with 2-4 people who had never done it before and yes the SCH was being lazy I don't live in this sunshine bunnies, rainbows and friggin Unicorn world where players sucking doesn't happen.
