1) MND over INT( i did 50/50 but will probably by the points reset item when I can)
Yes, because as a healer, Int is pointless.
Quote:2) Use cleric stance for what it was intended. with all your stats in MND when you use it for solo play you have really nice DMG and a little personal healer Fairy
Yup, yup.
Quote:3) if you want SMN go for it, but only for solo/farming stuff since your int score will be alot lower. (leather/webs/fleece) the pet tanking lets you grab more mobs at once. also big note on the idea of just going it ACN, you still get a BIG stats boost from the soul stones. NEVER go it a class when you could be going it a JOB! just try this, record you stats at your base class, then equip you soul stone(any job) and record your new stats......notice a big jump? that is precisely why you should never try to Class it when you could job it.
Unless you're doing serious endgame as a SMN, it really doesn't make that big of a difference.
Quote:4) CRIT rate is supper important! remember the main aspect of SCH is not curing a large amount of HP in a one shot heal, SCH is a Heal-n-shield style healer and when you crit that heal to some crazy high number you also NEGATE that crazy high number of DMG. SCH should be a boring to play healing class if your doing it right because the team will see hp bars move almost not at all.
At present, the highest amount of Crit you can get to is 17% as a Scholar. Â As a healer, I do not feel that this is worth it to prioritize. Â It's just too RNG to bother with.
Quote:5) Aether flow and you: The ideal use of Aether flow as I have found it is thus, Hold on activating Aether flow until your mp is down 1/4 the way. then hold off on useing the drain skill untill you are down at least another 1/4 to 50% mp. at 25% mp you should be able to use the second shot of the drain skill and follow it up with reactivating Aetherflow instantly getting you back to aprx. 79% mp. rinse and repeat from here 1 drain is at 50% second at 25% Aetherflow ASAP.
You need Aetherflow stacks for much more important things at 50, like Lustrate and Sacred Soil.

8-16-24 man parties and SCH
Here SCH will be the TANKs personal healer while the WHM is the party healer. by focusing the SCH on the tank(and the healers should they get hit) the tank can focus on pulling all the hate they want because they have that little safety bubble taking all that damage for them. This will also free up your WHM to do some DPS/buffs instead of constantly healing the tank as their hp moves like a heart monitor on a roller coaster.
Nope.
SCH is the mitigation/proactive healer that lacks burst, but makes up for it in DR CDs, situational burst (Lustrate 3x/min), mitigation and lack of mana issues.
WHM is the throughput/reactive healer, that lacks mitigation beyond Stoneskin and has mana issues, but brings strong throughput heals as well as a get-out-of-jail-free card in Benediction.
They're designed to work together, both on tank healing and on raid healing. Â One provides effective health and more stabilizing heals, while the other one provides burst healing on demand.
WHM should not be DPSing while healing in a serious raid.
