Healer Guide/Class Comparison

[Alise]

^
Don't forget that it is not rare at all to see the case where one healer is targeted to conflag. and many of time same person is targeted twice.
Mr A. used divine sell : (first time 2 stay, but A plan to use it first.)
Mr. B enter the conflag, leaving A alone. (so it remain A alone without Divine, he would need to use benedict of source. (or presence of mind + cure 2 spam, but he will end up no mp.)
Mr B enter conflag, again leaving A alone.. now A either run out of mp or have no emergency skill already.
Not to mention, another ground breaking part is that when the tank doesn't have defend ability, and no adlo from SCH then he is usually 1-shot. stoneskin is usually slow, and in case of one healer get into conflag, you have no time to do so. Therefore, a lot more problem compare to SCH who can manage all this very easy. (so this mean they are not equal heal for single target.) As I said that it is not impossible, but it is very hard and I bet that there will be a lot of issue/mistake despite following your method.

in SCH case, he has 6x lustrate and fairy, he can solo heal while the whm enter 2-3 conflag easily, I have seen it to even some new sch who doesn't play very long too. Why do you think every content so far have party recruitment of 2x healers, but then only Turn-5 that they specific 1 SCH 1 WHM ? It is common understanding to them that SCH and WHM are different. WHM is good at AoE, SCH is good at single heal.

Whm can cast regen into multiple person, but SCH can't call multiple fairy to embrace multiple person.
Whm can cast cure III, big AoE heal from distant that SCH can't.
Whm medica II can be used more often than SCH fairy AoE combo.

Then,..

SCH can heal tank to more than the max HP he has. SCH has double high potency when critical that Whm doesn't.
SCH can use emergency skill for 3-6 times in a short period, while WHM can only use once and WITH HUGE DELAY (working as intend wtf).
as OP explain, single target potency of fairy + SCH combine is always higher output than whm.

So people should admit that they are not equal. they strong on each different role.

I agree SCH is a superior healer for turn 5, but what I do not agree is you saying 2 WHM is like almost impossible.
What I am curious tho, is why you stipulate tanks cant enter conflag? o.o, if I were to run a 2 WHM team, I will always ask the tank to enter conflag, due to the fact that you are able to have two regens on the MT.

I agree that WHM is superior for AoE healing, and SCH is superior for ST healing.

But I guess this is why SCH is generally considered OVERALL superior compared to WHM, since there's not much AoE damage mechanics currently (Only notable ones are Titan and Ifrit Extreme, them exploding nails >_>).

You should try playing T5 with 2 whm. Good luck on keeping the tank alive tho!. (not saying it is impossible, but I bet 95% or more people can't deal with that.)

I typically don't use a single lustrate until after dive-bombs when we are killing the snakes. I suspect the only people who can't time cures between Death Sentence and Infirmity are the people who give up on their first try.

But I guess this is why SCH is generally considered OVERALL superior compared to WHM, since there's not much AoE damage mechanics currently (Only notable ones are Titan and Ifrit Extreme, them exploding nails >_>).

I still think you are massively overriding the situation. In 2.0 people took Plds for everything because not only did they have an 'edge' over Warriors, it was more a case that without being massively geared, wars simply were not up to the job at hand. I don't see any perception at all that SCH are considered OVERALL superior to WHM because it's just not the case. Both jobs are more than capable of dealing with any content this game has to offer right now.
