So.. who's leveling a SCH?

[Eriane]

You said you liked pro-active healing more anyway. Sch seems more up your ally to begin with. Its your personal preference not necessarily one class being better over another. You bring up several points on how SCH is clearly the better class than whm, but when you get down to it - you enjoy pro-active rather than reactive and SCH is a pro-active class.

Yes, and with the fairy changes i'm really hoping i'll enjoy sch. The only reason i say the sch is borderline better in the first place is certain fights require proactive healing regardless of class. And the sch toolkit is better suited to handle that.

Yeah the first thing i thought of while trying to figure out sch was how to manage my pet... my dumb fairy was out of control. she ran up and tried to attack ifrit as soon as i zoned into bowl of embers. we've had a rocky relationship since then.

with the fairy changes

people are reporting a lower heal rate with the fairy, delays in between casts. Always nice ... /sarcasm

Fairy spell cast always interrupted when taking damage now, that's why the output is lower. Imagine facing Titan with fairy spell always gets interrupted on Stomp. I don't know if this is ninja nerf or unintentional, I already submitted a bug report here.

Did coil last night and the fairy was fine. My raid's sch was loving mouseover macro's with the fairy and was really happy he could control her. I'm excited about getting my fairy macro's set up.

On a different note:

Medica 2 was okay in turn 2 but only if i used divine seal which i prefer to save for tank heals and its not like raid healing in turn 2 was an issue before. The threat isn't an issue because tank threat has been buffed... no one came close to pulling.

Cure 3 is actually kinda useful for the new primals but my mana was dying. I never got a cure 3 proc when i needed one.

This.

Nearly impossible to line up an Overcure proc even when you have a good ~10s or so before you know you are going to have to use a Cure3. The time you waste trying to figure out how to squeeze a Cure II in without wasting the MP on overhealing is usually more trouble than it's worth because the other healer/fairy will end up topping off your tank from the weak damage he is taking.

If Overcure's effect is going to remain as it is, the proc chance needs to be improved to 25%, at least.

This thread makes me sad. Everyone of you who mains a healing class and seriously considers that whm is "useless" and will not be picked up by groups as much. Please roll a dps class. (No offense to any dps guys who happen to read this)

I did a CT as 2 SCH, it was aweful, especially with the new fairy change
Please stay a WHM!

And that ladies and gentlemen is when PvP is influencing PvE changes (or vice-versa). Always makes a mess and causes a lot of headaches design and balancing wise..
