I haven't seen the 45/50 skills for SCH so I have no idea how those will work yet, Though I guess needing to use the drain skill could be completely removed with a BRD in the group. But if healing doesn't have alot more MP/stronger Aetherflow I just don't see how Aetherflow alone can make for a lack of mp issues. (though I would like to know )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.
As for crit rate, That is the suggested extra points for SCH since PIE is pointless. Not sure what else you would use Materia for if MND is caped. of course the pointlessness of the stats other than the main stats is an entirely different discussion, sometimes I wonder why they even bothered with giving people a choice in stats at all.
