WHM vs AST vs SCH

[Silver-Strider]

If you want Lore+Healer, I'd go SCH as it's the only one of the 3 with a detailed lore based story. The downside is that it has the highest skill ceiling of the 3 healers and is arguably the "weakest" overall as a healer ATM, at least when HPS is concerned. Their damage is fairly average, as far as healers go as well.

WHM is nice and has some tidbits of lore but not as much as SCH. It's the most damaging healer and has plenty of oGCD heals as well, making it great as a pure healer, just don't expect much in the way of utility as, apart from a damage shield at level 66, WHM is pretty much just pure heals.

AST does go into detail about it's whole little card system and how they draw power from the stars but it's sort of pushed to the wayside for a different conflict, and then rehashed again later on. Lore's there but sort of underplayed. You have plenty of utility and decent heals but your damage is crap.
