I never said it was impossible for a SCH to solo heal fights. I said it's harder, as it should be. SCH is far from broken and people overestimate their toolkit. They're the only job built to off-heal optimally and are also the only job to have bad solo healing capabilities. Their cooldowns and stacks barely make up for things that the other two healers have built in their GCDs in the first place. So, no, SCHs are not overpowered nor required; they're widely used because they add sustained DPS and that's it. Change fights design a little bit (which SE will for Alexander 2, since a lot of people are leaving the game because Alexander 1) and you'll see SCHs losing their fixed spot. One example: one indomitability + one ET Succor adds a total of 700 potency in heal. WHM alone can reach that with Medica II, and adding anything beyond that will simply crush SCH's numbers anytime of the day. "Oh, but there's Eos!" At the moment, the potency for the fairy's skills doens't scale in the same way the SCH's potency does and you'll get less than 500 potency from Whispering Dawn in AoEs, which Asylum can cover easily. "Oh, but I can Rouse it and I can use Fey Illumination!" Yes, you can burn two more cooldowns (apart from the two you already burned to get your Succor to not shield and your Indomitability (which also consumed one stack, lowering the amount of Lustrates you can do in that minute) to match what a WHM could do with one spell + one skill. Add Divine Seal to the equation, and SCH will be destroyed healingwise. The extra GCDs and cooldowns WHM didn't use can be spent in Cleric Stance to add some burst DPS. I won't even discuss AST, because I made my point. If you're a good SCH and feel like you can rule the world, just know that skilled players use the other two healers as well and we can do things with one key press while you must use four our five to hope you catch up.
