I do not play WHM so I'm confused about these changes. Isn't WHM still superior in AOE healing? I've read comments that this is a niche mechanic but there are fights in Coil and Titan and Garuda where AOE healing is necessary. I have a feeling that all 3 extreme primal fights will be the same.

The change to Medica 2 does seem unnecessary. As a SCH, I always feel more comfortable with a WHM as the second healer and I don't see that changing. Our abilities don't line up well with another SCH. There is also the change to the Limit Break that penalizes having more of one job. I think WHM will always be in high demand.

This is not to make light of the WHM concerns. There was a lot done this patch that really seemed unnecessary and I think it's important for the community to voice their displeasure. I just don't think that there will be a shift to SCH/SCH fights because of the adjustments. If I am missing something, I apologize.
