So.. who's leveling a SCH?

[Kuroyasha]

I was already leveling a sch at the same time as a whm. I liked the sch shield effects graphically and the look of the fairy (yep had nothing to do with the actual effects of actions lol) and i liked whm holy on speedruns. It's fun as a sch doing dots and what not even without cleric stance b/c of the higher int you have. It's fun rotating cleric on whm and doing dots and stone 2.

I dont see why so many are QQing over the changes and like "omg sch is the only way to go now". So medica 2 heals less on the onset for the regen. So what? pop it and do a medica or an extra medica. Or pop it after divine seal for extra heals a little earlier than you normally would so you can do your other healing on top. Or pop it after divine seal and presence of mind in a tight spot that u know will be coming up so you can do significantly quicker medicas if need be and/or just heal the tank faster. Still has the initial 200 cure potency. (continued b/c of char limit)

And therein lies the problem. WHM have no efficient way to recover MP. Any change in mechanics that require using MORE skills only hurts the class more and more. The worse part of these job nerfs (both direct and indirect through the cross-class nerfs) are not really the nerfs themselves, but that they did nothing to change SoS to compensate. SoS should either have scaling MP regeneration, or be on a shorter cooldown.

True. If there's a situation where we absolutely HAVE to pop multiple medicas right after a medica 2, may be a problem w/o out a bard. But then that makes Bard more useful as a dps/support class ( i know people be like "bard is dps there are no support blah blah, but if it's job abilities focus on helping others then im calling it dps/support lol )
