<-- SCH here. I had WHM to 50 first and struggled to get ACN up to 34 for E4E...but once I got there I just kept going...

I like the planning with SCH. I like knowing when big hits are coming, or AoE damage is possible, and properly shielding the party. Being able to place my fairy when my needs are divided and being able to plan out her moves to best fit a situation. Just seems much more proactive vs. a WHM's reactive nature. Granted, you can use the same knowledge of fights to prepare, but just a different feel for me.
