Preferred Healer

[Mattelot]

Good morning (here), everyone.

I'm not using this as a means to determine what job I play as. I'm playing the one I enjoy most. I'm only curious from a tank's perspective. As a tank, what healer do you prefer to have, if any? I'm sure some don't care as long as they do their job. At least that's what I think when I play my War or Drk.

Thanks for the input.

Scholar. More dps is always nice.

[Caitlyn]

Every skilled healer is nice.

From the tank's perspective, it doesnt really matter, at least if you get healed, even on bigger pulls. But if have to choose, I would prefer WHM because of Holy Spam, Assize and Aero III.

[garret_hawke]

Pretty much the same. I'm fine with any healer as long as he's (she's) good.

If the party setup is PLD + WAR, I'd take SCH + AST. If the setup is DRK + WAR, I'd take SCH + WHM. Reasoning being Hallowed Ground vs Living Dead+Benediction.

SCH is great to have in Midas Savage. It literally doesn't matter if you aren't raiding. All healers can do their job properly.

I always feel safer with scholars, but that's probably because I did T9-T13 with a brilliant one. The fact that they tend to be more DPS-minded is nice as well.

I prefer not to tank with White Mages when I'm on Dark Knight, simply because Holy interferes with Blood Price, and not all White Mages grasp this fact.

Aside from that, I have zero preference. I guess Warrior likes Astrologian because Balance + Fell Cleve Crit = Massive Deeps?

DPS happy whm or DPS happy sch.

If you really want to dedicate yourself to efficient healing, MP management, and are willing to memorize the boss fights then WHM.

If you want snooze-mode healing then Scholar.

If you want fancy spell animations then AST.
