I was thinking of leveling whm since i notice in most parties there is always a lack of a healer. But some people have said lol whm because sch is better. Whats better for the sole purpose of healing?

go with whm. sure sch has some fancy tricks but having cures 4 5 and 6 really helps. sch is limited in that it can only go up to cure 4 which means theyll gain hate quite fast compared to a whm using cure 5 or 6

Play whatever you deem to be fun.
If usefulness and utility is an issue, level that up on the side for events.
The key is enjoying yourself and playing what you want to.

Saying SCH is a better Curer than WHM is like saying DRK is a better nuker than BLM.

WUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT

PPLs still think that. OMG no, WHM/SCH is a lot better than SCH/WHM to cure (cure potency++, Stronger Barspell, Better cure cast time, Cure VI...)

Go for whm hehe (Yeah I know /BLM 40...)

Indeed, I sub SCH on whm. People ask me "ZOMFGWTF WAI DONT U SUB RDM, SO MAOCH BETTAR" Yea, no.

Not only do you get 10% off your mp cost on all your spells, cast time, and i think it's -5% recast (idrk), but you also get half-mp spells, and half-cast time spells every 2 minutes. Along with Sublimation, which acts as not only refresh, but as a poison potion for fights that mobs can sleepga.

Idk, maybe I just "don't get it", but I say doing WHM/RDM vs. doing WHM/SCH is ridiculous.

Um you just forget to say you can StoneSkinga with /SHC.. yeah I know it's a detail XD.. And I don't see any advantages to sub RDM with 20+ refresh/tick and 2k mps :)

WHM is god in Abyssea, don't listen to idiots. It's the only job that can heal for 1k HP twice in under 5 seconds. Not to mention barspells, Shellra V, versatility with subs: I recently have been subbing BRD on WHM for March on my MNK and DNC friends for lowman situations, and use the Threnodies for Yellow !! as well (While dragging my BLM butt down too)

The stoneskin effect from Afflatus: Solace is also very useful for /NIN tanks.

SCH for most things, unconventional subs are always fun though.

Oh, I didn't realize it affected it to that degree, but either way, I'll still use it for Yellow triggering.

I heard this same thing recently from a friend when I told him to come /BRD he said he has tried to land multiple times and just cant get ***to stick, so we had him come BRD instead.

If people say otherwise please speak up, let me know what the difference is here we're talking about an someone with an 80+BRD who said /BRD wouldn't cut it
