If you compare one nuke or cure then sure, sch will win, but how often do you fight something that goes down in one hit?
I'm not so sure about this. When sch is in light arts it has alot of crap to do, blm/sch gets nowhere near the stratedgem/stratedgem speed of recharged needed to successfully main heal as good as a sch in lights arts. EX:
Perpetuance Adloquimga
Perpetuance Phalanxga
Stoneskinga
Rapture Cure IVs
Perpetuance Hastes(I like doing this because i am lazy with hastes cycles)
etc
Not to mention blm/sch doesn't even get haste and phalanx. Although you have a point with blm/sch getting storms i forgot to take that into consideration. Although I still think a party of blm/rdm with sch for support(storm giving etc) would be better,.

OP: What 'Converse MP' are you talking about that makes it seem that SCH is so godly against a BLM nuking? The only viable option I see that is relevant is Dark Arts (10% MP reduction), and if BLM wanted they could go /sch if it really mattered so greatly.
If you are talking about using Parsimony for your nukes, then your nukes will not out-damage a BLM's nukes.

10k nukes in lolAbyssea are easily possible by SCH every nuke.
This is true even without the Pandemonium Warden Atma.
MM/Beyond/Ultimate atmas + Obi, Twilight Cape + Good SCH gear.
but while using the 1st ja's>nuke for 10k>waiting for next ja/nuke...
blm gets 4-5 5-6k spells off....AND /sch for hailstorm +obi/twilight cape lol
BLM/SCH can get off 8.5k Blizzard V in Abyssea.
SCH/RDM can get off 10k Blizzard V in Abyssea.
Both at 80% Fast Cast

"after update" i think means Legion where procs do not exist...so i guess we wont be seen BLMs at all in there VW will still be there after update. New VW at that.

Your array of nukes becomes ess efficient when you run out of stratedgems(i can never spell this right). BLMs retains the same efficieny. Sure Stratedgems recharge moderatly fast now, but if your spamming nukes you will most likely be without stratedgems for a good 30 seconds at one point. Also, if you are spamming nukes at this rate you will probably die from enmity where as blm will just Enmity Douse. Like I said both have their place. Sch's main place is High damage over a long course of time(Via helix and controlled nuking) while blm nuking is more of a endless barrage of nukes and then resetting hate with enmity douse. I didn't really know how to word blm's style correctly, so this is the best I got. Also remember that as a SCH you have other duties than just nuking. A good sch will maintain storms on all blms and klimaform as well. So you need to be even more conservative with your stratedgems.
No.
A bad SCH or rather a too gimp to compete with the BLM SCH will Acession the BLMs. A good SCH will Acession + Perpetuation weather (with Empy gloves) at start of fights and then to hell with the BLMs after that.
SCH is not a BLM support. As for barrage of nukes, you are missing the point. 80% FAST CAST is the cap for all casting. SCH can reach this cap. . .,i dont know how to make it clearer lol.
And then you will die from pulling to much hate.

No.
A bad COR or rather a too gimp to compete with the DD COR will use rolls on the DDs. A good COR will use rolls at start of fights and then to hell with the DDs after that.
COR is not a DD support.

Ehh it is true with all the buffs, I was thinking solely cures.

Have'nt this "fight" been going on since level 75? >_>
Main reason people invite black mages to a fight (usually, if it's not for procs) is for Stun.
So yeah..
They'r both excellent nukers, why not just leave it at that?

Well Done!

Regardless, SCH is much more fun. Much more versatile. Has highest peak damage nukes, but not over all DPS. SCH is sexier, SCH is 75% WHM and 75% BLM combined with a 150% performance output. They are both great depending on the situation. Everyone get your head out of your ***.

New VW at that. precisely, procs are still necessary for alot of the VW mobs, while yes they wont be tied to the treasure drops in the new voidwatch doesnt mean that you dont need temp items. The old Voidwatch fights are still relevant because heavy metal plates will continue to be in demand for a long time.

SCH is only 50% a WHM. Maybe after this "Cureupdate" thing will change.
Id wager heavily that SCH does more DOT in any situation than a BLM. Until someone explains to me how a BLM is to do more DOT then i will continue to beleive this.

True enough ...but i assume OP is talking about Legion only cuz BLM/SCH took SCH's place in VW proc-wise idk where else he can nuke on SCH w/o delay not giving a *** about buffing his LS buddies or party members

How? if SCH and BLM are both at 80% FC cap and SCH nukes harder per nuke?

Very much like cor being much more beneficial than rng because of it's rolls.

How? if SCH and BLM are both at 80% FC cap and SCH nukes harder per nuke? Ok, for starters, how in the world are you at 80% FC when you finished casting in your nuking set?
Why are you so obsessed with repeating this?
Also, BLM doesn't have to mess with JA delay, will not run out of Stratagems, and has more nukes to cycle through. If you are nuking as fast as you can, T5/T4 is not enough no matter how much FC you have.

I'm just taking it as 50% as useful as a whm as it more or less being completely pointless to heal when even before the update that is not the case.

Regenga V is very very nice indeed.
How ever SCH main drawback before this update was that it was defenceless in healing DDs who had just suffered 1k + AoE damaage,
WHM could cure them back to health easily and not grab hate.
SCH can Accession Rapture Cure IV, but would immediately thereafter grab hate off anyone and anything.
SCH and RDM will never replace WHM at healing, but this update will take them closer.
Again this is apeaking as a WHM RDM SCH @ 99.

Ok, for starters, how in the world are you at 80% FC when you finished casting in your nuking set? thissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Quote: Also, BLM doesn't have to mess with JA delay i hope you mean cooldown not animation delay
With SE's spoken acknowledgment that future contact will not be over-reliant on proccing (thank god . . ) will this mean that SCH>BLM for most content?..
Lets have a look at Pro's of each:
SCH/RDM:
> 15-20% more damage Per nuke than BLM (even BLM casting Thundaja)
> Can reach 80% FC now with Rubeus, so DoT is significantly better than BLM.
> Better MP Management.
> SCH Helices bump up DoT even more.
> Can quickly switch to C4 set to heal for 800+ (BLM wont have Healing Magic Skill unless they /SCH)
> Access to Kaustra (not that i ever use this tbh, might be useful in Legion) and Embrava.
> With FC set up and Haste no longer need to have "Filler Spell" inbetween spamming Thunder/Blizzard V and IV".
BLM:
>Stun.
>Enmity Douse.
>Manafont very useful for emergencies.
>....
. .Are we to see the advent of everyone jumping on SCH bandwagon?
Food for thought indeed. :)
