SCH is gimp, pls buff, WHM is too stronk

[Raminax]

WHM is a very powerful healer (both single target AND raid healing), but even with optimal rotation* its DPS is considerably less than SCH's and, well... it's basically just a healer. Or much closer to a plain healer than SCH. In line with WAR vs PLD, my suspicion is that a lot of people see jobs with less flexibility/utility (i.e. more specialized), even if they are very good at what they do, as inferior.

*lol, I know I know. But some DPSing WHMs don't bother with one or both Aeros and only use Stone II

To be honest, White Mage DoTs suck in comparison to their filler (unlike Scholars, where their filler sucks compared to their DoTs). Unless they're going through their full duration, it's better to just keep spamming Stone II for maximum tryhard (Stone II is 170 potency, Aero II needs 9 seconds to reach 170 potency, Aero needs 15 seconds to reach 175 potency).

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if some White Mages just suck, rather than their DoTs sucking.
