My statics current setup is PLD/WAR and SCH/WHM, pretty straight forwarded, but we had an issue of our tanks dying and now people seemed to argue about which healer should heal which tank.


While i have been a healer for a long time, i'm unaware of how healing exactly works for the different classes in XIV, so is anyone able to give me a clear insight which healer should be assigned to which tank and why?


Our warrior said this:

[2] nah thing is that ppl think that due to defiance giving +20% healing that the shields do more on a warrior
[2] which isnt even true
[2] it doesnt matter if i get a 20% bigger shield if i take 20% more dmg than a pld/drk
[2] and since i spend more time out of defiance than in it would be simply smarter to put the shields on the pld, who spends 90% of his time in shield oath to maximize their effectiveness. while the whm has the same output on me and the pld
[2] and quite simply a whm has an easier time healing a warrior than a sch would
