I don't understand how anyone can think Sch getting the ability to AOE elemental spells wouldn't be hugely overpowered. Right now the only unique spells Black Mages get are the ga and ja lines, except for AM and AMII which are pointless due to the advent of T5 spells. Scholars already get a ton of job abilities to help their black arts, and have non stop MP with the sublimation changes. Why do people not think a specialist like Black Mage should not have some unique spells? In the original post it is stated White Mage should be the best healer, why do people want to make Scholar a better nuker than Black Mage? Is it because Dark Arts are more exciting than healing?

Scholar is a hybrid, not a specialist. Can people not think of unique suggestions instead of taking more spells and abilities from existing jobs? I think Scholar has been one of the most aggressively updated jobs, and really doesn't need anything added to the Dark Arts side. Light arts probably could use a buff, but I worry if it gets Cure 5 it again overshadows White Mages.
