sch has low heals? we mitigate damage

[Euphe]

I used to play WHM a lot and you can definitely tell the difference between the two jobs. I did not switch to SCH out of lack of respect for WHM. I switched because SCH better fits my play style. Without a doubt my heals are "lower" to a WHM's BUT healing through damage isn't the point behind SCH at all. It's all about mitigation. So should you leave your FC because they are comparing a completely differently structured class? No; you should at least inform them of the difference. If they don't understand tell them to read in the forums. There's plenty of SCH vs. WHM comparison threads out there. I had a similar problem in my FC but with a SMN who got "out-parsed" by our BLM. It's all about the different mechanics and does not mean that either is better or worse because this game is decently balanced and each job fits into a specific role in any given group. One of my favorite things to do with my SCH is to couple my heals with my fairy's. Try "macro'ing" your physick with your fairy's embrace:

/ac "Physick" <t>
/pac "Embrace" <t>

The benefits of doing this are great in terms of healing. It will provide you with a better chance to crit since it's two separate spells going off and there is no need for a /wait <time> since your fairy is a separate character. I also noticed that when things get bad I don't need to rely so much on Lustrate unless it's a severe situation that completely warrants it (this frees up more charges to drop Sacred Soils which helps to mitigate even more damage in the end). It's also practically on point with a WHM's Cure II but with half the mana cost. Bottom line (which has been previously stated repeatedly in this thread) if everyone is being kept alive then who cares who is getting top heals? We cannot be rated like dps and that's why in my FC we don't run healing parsers at all. I'm trying not to compare the jobs because if I didn't have my WHM friend running with me in my raid group I'd have a rough time for sure, so consequently I more or less need my WHM bud.
