This is the problem:

Stack some MP on a war/whm, and he has the same tools that red mages and scholars have for healing. When SE states that they're trying to make all jobs viable for end game, but they end up making one job completely irreplaceable (whm), and another job a juggernaut (blm), how are red mages and scholars supposed to compete for end game party slots? Right now you may bring a single red mage per alliance if the monster isn't immune to enfeebles, but scholars have to compete with specialists when they focus on healing or nuking because they get incrementally worse as they swap between the two.
