What is the be Healer?

[TatoRazzino]

And before someone argues that it's just a semantic difference, I'd like to point out that the main issue around SCH is that, to clear Savage as fast as the world first group cleared, you absolutely needed a high amount of healer DPS to meet the check. They couldn't clear A3S before week 3, when they got their Eso weapons, and it took a lot of practice for them to finish A4S (I believe it was cleared a week later, if I'm not mistaken). DPS checks are not to be overlooked; SCHs were the only healer capable of sustaining DPS while healing, mostly because of their MP management skill, which is the same as SMN since it's built in the ACN class. That's why, until recently, WHM and AST couldn't do the trick: it was mathematically impossible, according to the pro groups, to meet the DPS checks without a SCH. Now, since ilvl is inflated, not only that amount of sustained healer DPS is hardly needed, but you can also afford to do more DPS as WHM or AST in the off-healer spot; therefore, any combo is possible and SCHs are not NEEDED anymore. They certainly help with their extra DPS and some extra shielding here and there, but AST and WHM are also helpful in other aspects, so everything is evened out.
