This is an issue because, like I said, WHM already have MP issues so why would you want SCH, who doesn't, to be given leniency in this area? It is some what unfair to think that a SCH needs to heal more easily when their job is already pretty balanced as is. If we were to implement these changes then in late game SCH will be heal spotting better than a WHM, and would be more useful on tank healing (as they already are, slightly). I get Medica/Medica II are beasts but we aren't talking about AoEs, we're talking about single targets.

My main issue with this though is this: SCH are strong enough already, and learning proper control of your pet is what mastering a SCH is all about, so why do you think they need a buff? And why should their job be made easier? Is healing with a SCH that hard? And if you want SCH to get a buff that isn't needed, than tell me what would WHM get buffed to help keep them on par with a SCH? Why would anyone use a WHM end game if a SCH would be so easy to heal bomb with, while not having to worry about their MP or procing Free Cure?
Read the rest of my post instead of the first sentence, I already said that MP issues need to be addressed and even stated what I would like to see White Mages get:

Shroud of Saints, on a lower CD (I'd like to see 60 seconds) spamming those robust AOE heals would be easy. Or, if you wanted to change to spamming stronger single target healing, Cure II would be a drop in the bucket. Plus, with all the AOE healing, they really should have a means to more often reduce their enmity generation, which has occasionally been a slightly annoying issue in some raids.

EDIT: MAYBE you couldn't SPAM Medica, but continually keeping up Medica 2 and using Cure 2 spam, would not be out of the question.
