Im a sch because I have always loved the tool kit. My preferred co healer is a whm, not sure when or why but ast is not doing it for me, thats just a personal preference tho.

I definitely prefer white mage (its my main) over the others. AST is fun to play with the cards and I don't like playing as SCH at all, though I'm able to manage pretty well on the very rare times I've done so.

I like the straightforward: you take damage, I heal it, of WHM. Plus holy spam of course.

I do prefer to have SCH or AST as a cohealer since they have abilites I don't.

SCH is my number one, followed by WHM. I used to love AST but am bored by it now.

I used to play SCH since thats what I was in FFXI even though they're radically different, but immediately jumped ship to be an AST the second I saw it. I love it's lore, it's abilities and visuals (glamours and cast aesthetics). I love buffing and enfeebling, I wish we had more though.

As cohealer if i'm with a sch I feel I have to pick up some slack on healing or do it faster since they're usually DPSing with occasional shields which is fine, and the fairy can only heal so much.

The reverse of that is with a WHM I can dps and focus on buffs/cards since I know they'll straight keep the HP up.

SCH is fun to play (but I'm yet low level with it) and I hadn't tried enough with AST. But my go-to healer is WHM because it is safer, because its heals potencies and flexibility that allow me to deal with any situation. I have an option even when all party is low on HP and I have and the boss is casting a tank buster.

As a co-healer, I like Eos. She cures often, have an AoE regen that stacks with Medica II and makes her pet DPS (the SCH) to stop DPS'ing for a GCD to shield. Selene is also good.

WHM, because i'm a purist. I prefer something that does what it does as good as possible in a straight forward manner, without extra gimmicks and utilities. That's also why i still carry an MP3 player, handheld gaming consoles and so on instead of just a smartphone, i just prefer specialized stuff over a jack-of-all-trades.

WHM. It just feels more fluid and reliable to play honestly. SCH has some truly ridiculous oGCD heals that are up almost everytime you need them, but I like knowing I always have an option of heavy healing without limitation.

I'm also a big fan of DPSING as a healer, and WHMs raw power is pretty great whwn it comes to this.
