TBH I'd rather just not use lilies than make my play worse. Like, you should prob be casting cure 2 over cure now sure, but honestly how many times will you actually need cure 2 if everyone is doing their job?

Lmao. Never in a million years is a good WHM going to drastically change their healing style to suddenly incorporate a ton of cures and cure IIs in order to attempt to make use of these awful systems that were tacked onto us. They're better off completely ignored than used at the expense of greater efficiency.
Yeah WHM is pretty good in 4.0, even though not as distinct or flashy as AST. I feel for SCH, though. Got that to 66 so far. Some nerfing was needed but that job needs to get something back. Anything.
As for WHM, here's hoping Lilies and Confessions get some fun twist :D
you can micro manage Eos' heals so it only heals what you want it to, if you don't at least understand that much you honestly shouldn't voice your opinion on matters of balance. It's also not thatSCH has stronger heals, it's that SCH can use those heals off the GCD, meaning it and its co healer spend less time casting healing spells and more time casting dps spells. One of the most important parts of healer optimization is using GCDs effifiently and SCH is king of that.
Yeah I've been leveling SCH and it's not unplayable or terrible, but, if I were auditioning right now as a healer for some reason it would be my last choice.

Anyway, I'm sure all classes will get adjustments over time based on feedback and metrics collected by the dev team.

lol ok man SCH just feels bad to play right now, from a numbers perspective it's fine. peace XD
As can both its counterparts. Healing is not a utility because there is little White Mage can do Astro or Scholar cannot. They all simply accomplish the same thing differently. You act as those either of White Mage's counterparts would somehow struggle when Astro does just about everything White Mage can while simultaneously buffing the party. Job balance shouldn't be based around people being idiots and standing in aoes. When people refer to utility, they mean benefits unique to those jobs, i.e. Cards and Shields-- neither of which White Mage offers. It's only competitive right now because Scholar got beaten into the ground. Neither comes close to Astro's dominance.
If you healed and DPS'd, yes it did. No matter how good you were, White Mage simply couldn't sustain its MP pool throughout 3.x. At least not over an extended fight.
