Healer Guide/Class Comparison

[Splorch]

First off regen ticks away every 3 seconds, costs global cooldown, and costs mana. Embrace can be casted every 3 seconds and does not cost anything. If all you ever use embrace for is to supplement your heals then that is on you. Some people micro the hell out of Eos and have it casting embrace on almost everything that needs a spot heal, as well as supplementing their heals(which is what regen does). Both skills are supplements, but embrace is more cost/time/flexibility effective, making it better. Both skills are designed with the same purpose in mind, but I would trade regen any day for an embrace bot whle playing WHM.

Second of all, since everything in this game is on a timer you have 1 SCH preshield, other SCH uses succor after the aoe. while 1 SCH doesn't get the full effect(just the shield) the other SCH get the heal plus places the shield that buys time for embrace to tick and make up the difference. It requires planning. Something like Titan EX stomps, you can alternate who has to cast a second succor so as to not cause strain on any 1 healer, again calls for planning. True. without planning as WHM I can say screw it, pop Cure III at the cost of both of those succors and be done with it, but after 6-7 minutes of fighting Cure III is only an option if I'm rocking with a bard.
