hopefully Square realises this soon and brings back miasma/bane for SCH, cuz those spells really helped SCH make up for the lower potency heals compared to WHM and AST during the leveling process.

Can we stop trying to perpetuate the DPS myth? SCH Healing potency was lower than WHM because they were supposed to be a companion Healer for WHM in Full Parties. SCH Shields to blunt the incoming damage, WHM topped the party up.

Damage had nothing to do with it.
SCH DPS was a consequence of it deriving from Arcanist, which was a Damage Dealer.

SCH was never meant to push huge healing numbers like a WHM can because it was designed to prevent damage, reducing the need for large Heals. That changed when SE added AST and needed to make all 3 healers equally capable since you only need 2 Healers per Full Party. At this point, all 3 Healers can do as much damage and Healing as each other, we just go about Healing in different ways.

SE won't push Healer DPS because we only focus so much on it as players at endgame because encounter design leaves huge gaps in required Healing that are easily covered by oGCDs.

For the OP, Adloq may be expensive, but the Shield it plants is extremely strong at lower levels. As long as the Tank is the only one taking hits, Your Fairy will restore HP while damage is being prevented by the Shield.
It's not about keeping the Tank full, just keep them safe. If the Tank is severely damaged, Adloq and then Physik while the Shield holds is your safest way to keep them alive. Crit Adlo's can plant shields as high as 50% of the tanks total HP (Just watch the yellow bar when you use Adloq, you'll see). So use it often while keeping Lucid Dreaming and Aetherflow on cooldown to keep your MP up.

Just remember that for as much as these forums scream about Healer DPS, your Tanks life is more important. Never prioritise damage over Healing.
You will naturally learn to find damage windows as you get more comfortable with what your heals are capable of.
