Although the topic started about SCH stats, it's great that it turned into a discussion about SCH abilities. To add to some of the ideas:
- The Adloquium shield is doubled when you crit heal. Say, for example, you heal with Adloquium for "1017!", you put a 2034 potency Adloquium shield on the target. That's quite a lot so investing in critical hit rate can be a good idea. The same holds true for succor. If someone gets hit with a "457!" heal from succor, that person also gets a 914 potency shield. Again, don't spam these spells since they have high mana costs.
- Although, Lustrate can be a good emergency heal, don't save up stacks just for that spell. Use it when needed (don't overheal), otherwise use the stacks on something else like Sacred Soil (unless you're preparing for something big such as Ifrit's Hellfire or Titan's Geocrush/Tumult and you can't afford to have it on cooldown) or Energy Drain when Aetherflow is off cooldown.
- Watch out for the Disease debuff! Use Leeches to cure it immediately. The same goes for paralyze.
- Like what Flapjack mentioned, don't forget to make use of your other skills such as Rouse, Eye for an Eye, and Virus when needed. They help a lot.
- Shadow Flare and Sacred Soil don't stack!
- Swiftcast. It's very useful when you need that instant raise, instant summon, or two succors in quick succession (HM Titan's Tumult comes to mind).
- Control your fairy. Place it near the tank or where it can reach the entire party during a boss fight and manually cast Embrace to maximize healing.
- In my experience, I usually only have to keep shields up on the tank and melee DPS. Some fights during endgame are quite healing intensive and can really drain your mana so proper mana management is key. Keeping shields up on ranged DPS (who rarely gets hit) is counterproductive.
