SCH vs WHM

[Deculture]

Regardless of balance, SCH just feels a lot more fun to play because of all the micromanaging that you can do with your pets. Then again, it's always cool to see a mantra + Cure 3 top your entire raid up from 20%~ hp as WHM.

both are good healer's and play their role in the raid, as a SCH you really shouldn't be to worried about healing like a WHM does its not your area.

I can tell you for sure SCH is by far the better single target healer and this is what they were designed to be, they keep the tank topped and support the WHM's raid healing by shielding the raid! WHM is the king of raid healing and benefit from the having a good SCH that can focus tank while the WHM keeps the raid up with spot and AOE healing.

there is no better we both have our role and if everyone in a party plays their role correctly and dodges mechanic's that should be avoided aswell as interrupt, pick up adds, and dps down mobs that can wipe a raid there should be no issue healing any 4 man dungeon (including pharos) and especially any other raid.

Depends on situation.
But sch/sch is better than whm/whm

If schs had big heals like whm, whm would be obselete

no way, everything a WHM does stacks with other WHM, SCH doesn't stack with SCH

Oh, hey, this thread again...

Like others said, they are both good. I play SCH as my main since 2.0 and I would personally give it to WHM overall, mainly because of better AoE healing. The only way a SCH can really make up for the AoE healing is by Fey Illum + Rouse + WD and Succor spam and that's only every 27-30 secs CD on Rouse and WD with 100 sec CD on Fey Illum. With the glitch/nerf on the pets healing rate/AI and the increase on their Embrace timer, it kinda makes it a little more annoying. IMO, the main changes they should do for SCH are:

1. Give SCH job traits that actually benefit them. If not Mind, then give us Piety (since it is the buff we give for light/full party)
2. Revert the pet's AI back to 2.0. I don't know if it's because of my PS3 or the changes they made, but the AI and healing rate is gltichy with post 2.1
3. Make SCH specific pet actions for controlling them. ("Free stance", "Obey" and what not...)
4. Make the recast timer of Embrace equal to Physick.

Sorry double SCH is better.
-dps that doesn't require us to stop healing
-dps buff to party and our healing/dps
-spell speed potential 50% which happens quite often
-more heals per second
-almost constant regen on par with medica
-we can silence, and no need for manasong removes need to lose dps for bard
-controlled inst heals
-group mitigation

Sch+sch sucks. While eos does have an aoe regen the cd is a little long to make really useful unless you alternate, which takes alot more effort then just a double medica. And for aoe heavy stuff like ultima your pretty much just spaming succor for an overpowering 150 potency after the first trying to top people off. Silence with selena is trash, most important silences happen on a quick cast time and if shes casting embrace it wont go off till she finishes. Leave the silencing to bards and pld.

[Ashira]

SCH and WHM both viable for all content. I play both and use either one depending on the fight or who I have healing beside me.

There is no better healing class. End.
