Pros and Cons of each Healer Role

[Ghishlain]

You nearly split my post into 8 segments...
most of them, individual sentences....
and call me nitpicky... lol

No, I responded to your entire post in piecemeal fashion since there were enough individual and different comments/points you were making to respond in such a fashion.

You were taking one point out of a thirty-two point list I created of pros and cons.

You stated:
"[SCH]+Highest sustained DPS of the three"
Which is false.

Kinda like how I said Gravity is lvl 60 earlier. It was false.

Would you prefer I reword that line "Highest sustained DPS in high-tier practical application of the three"? Because at this moment you are arguing a semantic of the definition of "sustained DPS". I could also reword it to be "Highest consistent DPS of the three" if that's suitable too.

With that being said, I don't think many people would argue SCH has a better sustained DPS in practical application versus WHM. WHM does offer better potential in shorter fights like Faust / Hummelfaust in A5S and the gauntlet style fights in A6S, but otherwise SCH pretty much over powers WHM DPS by at least 10% at the highest tier of play (more when you start getting lower in the skill chain).

I'll say this though.

Average DPS from DPS rotation.

You are technically not wrong about this. But I would think you would have the sense to understand the context I was referring too.

When I asked six of my MMO friends how they would define "Sustained DPS", five of them responded with some variation of "A DPS that has consistent output throughout the fight". The sixth said that and also mentioned how it could be the average DPS of the fight because a Sustained DPS' average doesn't sway too far from that line. Which I agree with.

In other words, we're both right. I'll leave it at that.

Breaking down the actual differences might be a fun discussion at some point though!

I'm not sure if I want to get into this discussion at the very moment >>; There's a lot of context to consider and on top of that each kit is situationally better pending on the fight, party composition, and party skill level.

Let alone the fact we seem to disagree far too much on petty semantics since we seem have gone through different cultures of MMOs leading to the massive difference in opinion and semantics we already have to begin with. I've personally never heard of average DPS refereed to as sustained DPS. Only as it is written - average.

It would probably be terrible for us to dissect kits because of the above. lol.. You might have more luck with someone else though.
