Healer Guide/Class Comparison

Snip

If your understanding of sentences and your capability of reading through the whole thread is BAD, let me rephrase it so that you can at least keep up on what we are discussing right now.

1. OP compare the functionality of SCH as though SCH can cast instantly all of their skill with perfect coordination to cover both MT healing and AOE heal. Thus i counter stated that in a GCD, a SCH can only do just that much as compare to WHM. Meaning, if we were to heal MT, we will cover less in AOE heals.

2. Pressing one or two buttons? So tell me how many button a WHM need to press? One or two button is when everything goes the way it goes, DPS taking no extra damage, tank dodging shit, etc. What happen most of the time is even when you macros fairy heal into your own, you will still need to split heal sooner or later due to DPS/healer taking extra hit, coupled with AOE damage on-going, tank getting hit hard, for example Titan EXT. Tell me how well you do with two button (i gave you extra, you mentioned one).

3. Am not saying is a bad thing i can do multiple thing, just saying i can't do multiple stuff in a short time. Read UP!

but it did amuse me in harder content before i was geared to see a tank drop or nearly die because i used a gcd casting regen... on the tank much less a dps

And the fault is regen not your poor judgement, because??

Please people, wake up. Who asked you to put regen on a tank when he is low in health, why regen over a directly heal in the first place? You are the cause the tank died, not regen, wake up. No amount of regen good-ness can let your tank survive, regen need time to tick! if you think embrace is a better choice over regen in that particular situation, you have your answer there. The answer is DIRECT HEAL when the tank is at low health. LEARN to judge the situation over course of action. LEARN to have better judgement.

Who asked you to put regen on a tank when he is low in health, why regen over a directly heal in the first place?

When did i say that i used regen on a tank with low health? I'm talking about trying to apply a regen when the tank is topped of and then his face gets crit for insane amounts of damage. This is why rolling heals to land as auto attacks and scripted attacks land is so important until you outgear content anyway.

Regen costing gcd's means in any situation where you can't afford to not have a direct heal go off quickly after damage lands (or you are timing ss and heals to deal with infirmity), you often don't even use it.

As a sch i never have to make the choice.

And no one was saying regen is bad, but the circumstances where it excels are fewer.

Thus, if a planned 2 healer fight can be done by a single healer, the "not so preferred healer" nonetheless, the one true conclusion of any WHM vs SCH argument that can be made, is both classes are 101% viable for all content in FF14 now.

That is true, however you are also refering to healers that outgear content. Class imbalances don't show until content gets challenging.

Don't get me wrong, i think the classes are fine for the most part. I like playing both but benediction is a little fail compared to lustrate, and i prefer embrace to regen.

I just like my whm outfit better.
