perhaps give us Leeches at 30?

Uh, the healing at L30 is a snooze fest you don't need to even both clearing the DoTs, my WHM can get by spamming nothing but cure.

As a Scholar, I can't even imagine healing as a WHM!! I love it, so much fun. Weaving in Energy Drain and Aetherflow makes life so exciting.

I am still getting used to the healing AI. It doesn't seem so bad.

Again, I have to call BS on this thread. I was able to carry my entire group in Hautte Manor - even going so far as solo'ing 3+ mobs at a time.

I've hard zero issues keeping my teammates up through level 38 dungeons. The game was laughably easy at lvl 30. Queue up as a healer, you'll be fine.

EDIT:

My main hint is you have to learn Bane range, Aetherflow mechanics, and go into battles properly buffed.

I did Brayflox's Longstop last night and again I think the healing is fine. Even with the tank not hold aggro well be able to micro manage my faerie I could stop the extra de-aggros with little stress to my mana bar.

Did that too yesterday. Fairy helps a lot, I alway keep myself between melee and range. The only problem I have is spaming heal spells. Thats pretty much I can do... I never play healer class, but SCH is fun.

Mostly removing paralyze. Also amdapor and wanderer's palace both have bosses which put a healing reduction debuff on the tank. Can also remove various dots and stuff so your fairy doesn't spend a cycle healing someone losing health, but not a big deal. 30secs paralyze on you can be rough before you have leeches(chimera boss for example).

Chimera Paralyze only last 8 seconds afair.

What are you talking about??? Scholar excels from the start. I can't speak for higher, as I just got it, however since you stated they are useless from the start, at lvl 30, you couldn't be further from the truth.

I leveled WHM first, still as boring as ever, so decided to try out scholar, way easier, between the pet and mp restore I end every boss fight at full MP, it's absurdly easy. The only thing I semi miss is esuna, but not for any damage over time lol, just not being able to remove stun, slow, etc.

Not sure what you are doing with yours, but I find SCH much more effective and fun.
