Potential dumb question about Sch stats.

I see. What about DH? Should I be worrying about that as a Sch healer or should I focus more on buffing my healing via det and sps/pie and have my dps be more of a bonus instead of a focus?

The hardcore stat number crunching takes time and I haven't seen anyone release exact stat weights yet. That said, det seems to be stronger at the moment. This may change with future patches as scaling to higher ilvls sometimes means one stat overtakes another. It's also possible some new data might come along showing DH was better all along. DH also only affects DPS skills and not heals, so there's that to consider.

DH is still not a bad choice, however. And there's the small convenience of never having any gear that already has capped DH.

edit:
Oh, forgot to mention...

Crit > DH.

Like Chii says, Crit is always better than DH, so if you do meld DH, it should come after crit.

SCH doesn't get so much return from sps since it has many oGCDs.

Piety is hard to say. Every time I try to raid on SCH I run into issues with my group being used to WHM/AST outputs, so I haven't really had a chance to test how its MP holds up under the most strenuous conditions. Maybe someone else will have an answer on that one.

Wait, do you mean to say that Sch is not as desired as Whm/Ast are? Or am I misunderstanding?

SCH has the top single-target DPS of all healers, brings a number of buffs, and is very much desired.

I'm actually kind of criticizing my raid team a bit. They're inflexible and can't adjust xP SCH tends to work a bit differently, which means different heal timings, etc.
