WHM or SCH for you..?

[Cynfael]

I think that the point that was trying to be made was that it takes more skill from a player to be an excellent, multitasking WHM. It comes pretty easily for SCH. My main is SMN and trust me, keeping an eye on DoTs while I'm free to do other things isn't too hard. WHM has to stance dance A LOT more than SCH to be as effective when it comes to DPS output because we simply cannot stay Cleric Stanced and still hand out cures like candy. WHM is easy to play if all you do is cure spam, but to do what SCH does, you need someone with know-how to be playing WHM.

I see the point, but I don't agree that DPSing as WHM takes more skill. The principle remains the same; it's just that SCH are able to DPS more often and more consistently due to how their mechanics work. Neither way of doing it is particularly challenging or particularly lazy. It's what the player makes of it.
