Which healer to go for?

[winsock]

If you are of the 'heals+idle' mentality or you're looking to heal end game raiding and extreme primals, AST is the best.

If you're just looking to do some dungeons, provided you are willing to dps, WHM is best.

The only reason i see to go for scholar is you get a free lvl 70 summoner. Otherwise Ast is a good pick

How about the only reason one should actually chose scholar (or ANY other Job, that exists in the Game): Because he likes the Job design more than the others, and he likes the playstyle in general?

Would YOU change your main class to one that's absolute not fun for you, because it is on paper 2% stronger?

People should stop going on what some kids call "meta" or hat numbers on Paper look good.

Every healer combination is playable. Every Healer combination WILL be able to clear every content, including Omega Savage.
-----> Play the healer, that you like the most. Period.

As soon you have 2 healer jobs you like equally, THEN you can start looking for pros and cons. Everything else is stupid. This is a GAME, it's supposed to be FUN.

See whm: People hated the shit out of it on the leaks, called it Garbage, Broken, not useable, not playable, noone will play it.
What is now? fine and perfectly playable. Only thing that got changed is a much fastrer Lilly generation. Anything else remained the same. sure, 70 Skill needs an overhaul, but still. Even if nothing changes: A perfectly playable Healer for savage.

Now everyone hates on scholar.

Like i said before: let the Kids be kids, and play the job YOU prefer most. Because it's YOUR Fun, not THEIRS.

Different people find fun in different things. No shame in enjoying being the best class on paper.

AST is best general healer for the competitive groups. WHM is a brute-force monster with a simple but satisfying playstyle. SCH benefits from foresight, and is parsing really well in practice, despite on-paper hypothesis. All will do well.

Go with the healer you most enjoy playing. Healing should be fun!
