Tough call for me, I've been the token healer for the best part of 15 years (More if you count bandages in UO!). I've never been one for pet classes or fancy shielding and thus Whm is simply more in my comfort zone, for example whilst I learnt Second Coil as SCH, I did my first clear as whm yesterday and had zero issues adapting despite having been more focused on DPSing on the Scholar.

On the flip side of the coin, the long GCD can make whm feel rather slow paced, waiting to be able to cast another heal after a regen can feel like a lifetime when your tank is getting stomped on. And that's where SCH shines imo, it's quite a bit more intensive particularly when your FC expects decent DPS alongside that healing. Not only in terms of raw keystrokes, but I'm also having to think further ahead to maximise my damage whilst still getting the heals and shields that count out on schedule. Plus it offers a little more room to really deliver 110%.

Comfort zone vs bonus intensity? I love them both
