SCH Unmentioned
There are a few things that people have either refused to talk about or just simply didn't know. SCH brings to the table a few things that some people may not fully grasp nor understand. A good example are the benefits of SCH at high levels. Every spell has a magic element that based on the weather could become more potent and more accurate.
Cure spells have a chance of getting a 10% boost in potency during lightday/lightweather. A SCH can give WHM's that chance when it was unavailable before with weather spells. Another thing I have yet to see in any of the posts is that Klimaform can be AoE to the entire pt. This allows for a BLM, RDM, BLU, BRD, WHM, or DRK to suddenly gain the accuracy benefits of the weather, guaranteed. In HL events that could alleviate the problem of BLM getting resisted so much. Just throw on the weather and add Klimaform. If they have an obi then that just adds to the accuracy and potency.
I have not made it to the Tier 4 spells as of yet on my SCH, but I have noticed that on Tier III I can outdmg any BLM I have come across thus far with Ebullience and the weather effect of the spell I am casting. Before anything is brought up let me inform you that I have tested this numerous times and did give the BLM the same weather effect and Klimaform. Ebullience adds a decent boost to the dmg and if all goes well and it is unresisted that dmg is increased enough to outdmg the 65 and below BLM's spells even if only by 50-75.
The next thing that may come to mind is that it entails using a Stratagem. Take into consideration that at level 70 a SCH gets 4 charges with a 1 minute recast. By the time the SCH is on the 3rd spell with this a new charge will have most definitely been restored leaving the SCH with 2 charges. This means that even going as fast paced as you can a SCH can do this 5 times in a row before having to wait roughly 30seconds to do it again. This is an extreme scenario considering that if a SCH has time to use 5 charges in a battle the battle has been going on abit long in the first place.
I by no means intend to say that SCH will outdmg BLM even at 75, but I bring this point up so that it is clear that a SCH can outdmg every job with elemental magic skill but BLM and that the difference in dmg is not so great that SCH Nuking would not have it's uses.
Something else that others tend to unappreciate or belittle is that SCH has an advantage with casting spells in general. They get a cast time reduction without stratagem use right off the bat and at high levels that means 3-4 seconds less cast time, on certain spells, if not longer. This is not counting the fact that with a Loquacious Earring and Rostrum Pumps /RDM could possibly make SCH as fast a caster as RDM. Now obviously a Fast Cast geared RDM would surpass a SCH undoubtedly, but not by any enormous amount.
This basically means that a SCH can tackle both a healthy dmg add-on to a pt via Tier III and IV spells and can take on a significant healing role as well. All this while casting faster than both a BLM and a WHM could.
To mention some healing advantages, the fact that Stoneskin, Blink, and Regen II can all be given to the entire pt means it is not unfair to say that SCH could potentially defeat the "Not having enough mp" arguement that people so galiantly throw out. Only during rare and intenses situations have I found myself running out of mp on SCH and even then a preserved Sublimation has rescued me from the depths of low mp numerous times.
I realize I have rambled on, but I wanted to make some points I have yet to see be brought up. I'm sure from the responses I get I will have a few more things to go into more detailed descriptions of, but I say bring on the questions and opinions.
