    Thanks. I probably should have mentioned that I have a level 36 WHM as well so I have gotten the stone skin move. Swiftcast is the instant move? So I probably should get my thamauturge up to that level now (18 ATM)

    Another question, is SCH in design suppose to be more preventative as a healer? Reason I ask is I notice that when I decide to use my WHM, am reacting to damage more than I would as a SCH. A bit off topic but if this is the case, I'll focus more towards my SCH because that is the type of healing I favor more.

    This community is far more helpful than what I was use to before

    The main reason is that SCH's heals are less potent than a WHM's. SCH's most powerful heal (aside from Lustrate) is Physick, which has a potency of 400. A WHM has two heals that are more powerful than that: Cure II (600 Potency) and Cure III (550 Potency in a small, targeted AoE). Drawback on those is that they cost a lot of MP and WHMs don't have a really great way to recover lost MP (except for Shroud of Saints, which has a fairly long cooldown time.)

    That said, SCH also has the usage of their fairy to help heal, and thus can actually be a more powerful healer than WHM if skills are used correctly.
