Please buff Succor.

The instance in which you need to aoe heal happens a lot more than every 60 seconds; stop being naive. Do Titan HM with just scholars and see how well the Tumults are handled.

A 15 duration proc that happens fairly often at the rate you use cure I can easily be used to absorb spike damage. It's just like a BLM holding on to Firestarter procs when he expects a burst phase.

You have a 35% uptime on Whispering Dawn for heavy AoE healing moments. For the other 65% of the time you can cast Succor and spotheal to your heart's content. How many fights actually REQUIRE that much consistent AoE healing? Maybe the last phases of Garruda, but it's certainly nothing beyond the capabilities of a SCH. HM Titan is the only one I can think of off the top of my head. maybe something in Bahamut after turn 2, I haven't really taken a hard look beyond that.

Titan is a major AoE healing fight the likes of which isn't seen prior to that point in the game, and it caters perfectly to the WHM strengths and the SCHs weakness. SCHs keep pointing at Titan like it's some sort of litmus test for game balance. How many fights are better served or equal by having a SCH as your healer? Damn near all the light party content is due to their flexibility. The ones that favor WHM are generally because of some ill thought out mechanic that doesn't consider pets. I know it sucks because Titan is the major roadblock to getting the Relic weapon and opening up Bahamut's; but it's still only one fight. Regardless, it's very rare I cast more than a Medica II more than once per minute on 90% of the bosses in game.

No, it's nothing like holding a Firestarter proc. Firestarter actually increases throughput damage by letting the Mage stay in his fire tree longer (thus more damage) as well as instant casting a fire spell. How exactly do you think Freecure works? a Cure II freecure does nothing different than a regular Cure II; it's just costs no MP. The free-cure proc isn't something you hold onto to deal with spike damage, it's no more effective than a regular Cure II. You spend it at the first reasonable point that isn't going to result in an overheal. . Our mana situation is not as stable as yours, we need to get every ounce of healing out of our free cure II as possible. It's the same reason we generally use our Shroud purely as a mana tool instead of an aggro dump. Freecure is just a bonus thing when it procs at convenient times, you absolutely do not factor it into the way you deal with spike damage. When the tank is spiking or you are behind, you use Cure II regardless of what's going on with Freecure... same as SCHs and Adlo. We also having nothing near as convenient as Lustrate, our oh shit's on a 5 minute cooldown and is saved for only the most dire of circumstances. I can only dream about how convenient it must be to be able to rapid fire off a 600-1200+ instant heal while on the move. Of course I wouldn't think to rage about Benedictions inadequacy in comparison, because that's a SCH strength and I'm perfectly fine with that.
