This is only CNJ vs ACN right? Not WHM vs SCH
Well, this is from my personal obsevation and experiences playing a WHM:
♦ Both CNJ and ACN can resurrects allies in combat.
♦ Both have access to knockback if the situation demands it.
♦ Both have access to Heavy debuff to slows down mobs.
♦ CNJ has an enhanced Protect buff that not only raises Defense of the party but also the Magic Defense.
♦ CNJ has early access to Esuna to dispel debuffs, something that only a Scholar could receive in level 40.
♦ CNJ also has access to Repose to put enemy to sleep, a very vital (30sec+15sec) crowd control in dungeons.
♦ CNJ has Medica and Cure III as emergency area heals, and
♦ CNJ has two types of single target healing to suit the situation, the normal Cure (300 potency) and the higher-heals-higher-manacost Cure II with 500 healing potency; Good to quickly fills the massive HP of Marauders and Warriors or to fully heals a Paladin from even half of his HP.
♦ CNJ has access to Freecure passive which 15% of the time gives the CNJ a free Cure II after casting the normal Cure.
♦ CNJ has access to Overcure passive to give 15% chance for a guaranteed critical Cure III every time Cure II is cast.
♦ CNJ's passives are increasing her Mind attribute, directly helping her to heals even better.
But really, what I truly see as a noticeably difference between CNJ and ACN as a dedicated healer is the ACN's Mana utility. The Energy Drain-Aetherflow-Energy Drain is extremely useful to recover ACN's juice, and Aetherflow only has 1 minute cooldown compared to the CNJ's Shroud of Saints which is at 2 minutes cooldown and restores the mana over time, not instantly (but it also reduces enmity so... yeah, it's very useful!)
