Which healer to use until Endwalker and Sage?

I see people suggesting SCH because it's a barrier healer, but the thing is, that doesn't really mean anything right now. Barriers are near-identical to flat healing in functionality. The only barrier that has any amount of unique attributes that make it different than just healing is Blackest Night, and that's on a tank.

It ultimately depends on what or if they intend to do anything about barriers for healers in 6.0, but if you want to actually learn how to play around barriers, then Dark Knight is your best option.

noct ast because if build properly and use correct it can really put some nice migitation for the entire party for more effective and easier than sch with its only 125% succor vs co+helios=for 250% cata is that 15% hope and once u get your one cata and use DT u gotta wait on that horrible 1min+ cd of DT so any additional cata if it even happens become useless while ur waiting on that DT horrible skill cd to come off. co is only 60 secs cool down big difference vs dt 1min+ timer. Di intersect+netrual aspected bene=450% block totally pwns even alqo. noct ast +dirunal netrual sect ast shields and regens all stack to boot, the only thing that do not stack of ast is their cards all their spells stack, enjoy this before square turns us into another sch/sch combination. Shown as you can see in my sig which the regens+shields stack. Finally co = instant cast shield, aspected benefic instant cast shield and light speed + aspected helios also = instant cast. get a old lvl 60 hw or sb 70 duties and enjoy them big bubbles covering your hp while a sch which its mere 125 succor meh and nothing else to give party shield wise not counting alqo + dt until lvl 80 stuff with seraph whom Idk them shields is as just as low as succor.

It's worth giving them all a try, it would give you a good opportunity to learn more about each individual skillset and how they function in a full-party+ setting.

until lvl 80 stuff with seraph whom Idk them shields is as just as low as succor.

Deployment Tactics is far stronger with Adloqium because the potency is much higher than succor.
Seraph's AOE applies an Adloqium strength shield on everyone in range and can be applied twice during the ~20s summoning window, their single target spamable one is weaker though.
Basically everything is better than having to cast succor, including Sacred Soil.

Ah I see, whew though ast is claim the most tactical and busiest it seem easier to me than sch, I kudos you cause the resource management thing with sch is just not my cup of tea, so I respect you or my friends playing this job, its like how I do rdm over blm even though I know of a power house blm is but the movement and management is tough heh. Thanks for that info on seraph alqo thing ill give this a try as
