New player - questions about endgame and other stuff :)

While there is some min/maxing that people like to do, none of it truly matters much or is required. It's just something to do after you've gotten completely comfortable with the raid and the job that you play. All that's truly required for Savage raiding is that everyone really learns and really tries. That sounds simple, but you'd be surprised at how many just plain don't or can't.

And yes, WHM would be healing much more because the Scholar's fairy's healing is unaffected by Cleric Stance, and its healing is much stronger than the WHM's regen effects, albeit only one person at a time. Additionally, much of SCH's DPS is periodic, so they can do damage while healing when needed. Finally, Scholar is decently more MP efficient than WHM, so it can afford to spend a lot more MP on DPS.
