eh i wouldnt say that, sch's could rely on their fairy to heal, because the fairy was actually pretty good when it executed its actions if a bit drunk at times. Whm's also could get away with buffing their heals then dropping big fat regens heals.
It wasnt uncommon for whm to spend a long time in cleric stance on, just to top off the tank with benediction

overall though there was a lot more gcd healing because we didn;t have ogcd heals back then aside from benediction
