    You are not a DPS job, you are a healer. If you want to DPS go SMN, if you want to have OP healing an OP dmg then you need to have a some major downsides. SCH has none as of now, it has the best shields, the best over time healing, the best mana management, the best GCD usage, Insta AOE healing, the best OGCD single target heal with the best CD and can be used 3 times back to back.

    So AST an WHM Only get to have high CD big heals in compensation... What the literal f***.
    I never said that other healers shouldn't be able to dps. I love our WHM who aggressively puts up her dots and stone IIIs. It really keeps me watching, not only the tanks, but her as well for Cleric Stance/DPS casts. When the boss gets to about 8% we swap and use her burst to help get the kill faster. That is a WHMs strength. The other healers can dps just fine.


    What are SCH weak at (aside from 15 second burst Windows?) Sustained AOE heals. Indom, deployment, and Emergency tactics helped to curb the issue. We do not have the raw healing power of medica II/medica/cure III spam of whm or asts raw helios/aspected. We have to go through a bunch of cds to make our aoe healing work.


    Also, AST brings their dps to the party via cards. To even ask to nerf SCH would place AST right on top. Absolutely free and noticeable dps buffs, every time they draw a card, at no cost of mp, nor a limitation on their toolkit.

    SCH can solo heal Nidhogg ex just like every other healer. In what way are they lacking AoE healing? I cannot think of an instance where spamming Sucor is any less viable then spamming Helios/Medica on BJ the shields get used an your heals an new shields come out. Just like Ack morhn on Nid ex.

    Cards are not all DPS increases. Ewer is useless in 99% of situations. No one else in the game has mana issues like AST/WHM so it either goes on your self or turns into an expanded card, Spear worthless in 99% of situations, Balance and arrow are amazing, but getting off 3+ Aoe DPS cards in one fight? pretty unlikely. SO while AST banks on RNG your sch is guaranteed his standard DPS

    AST/WHM are like PLD. Why bring them if you can bring SCH?
