My order is 1) New people 2) tanks or heals depending on who did better 3) good dps

For the OP:

If you are mainly solo playing then SCH is a good healer class, since you can essentially cleric stance & dps while your fairy heals and keeps you up. But to the point others have made, SCH is primarily the healer expected to dps most out of the 3 jobs. There are a few reasons for this which aren't entirely relevant to your decision, but just know that's out there in a lot of players mind and likely something you'll run into further into end game. Healer dps is not required for anything outside of savage content, but it can help speed up dungeons and trials along the way which is why most people "ask" healers to dps.
