Scholar or White Mage or Ast

I'm getting back into the game, found myself a World that I like, and I want to heal. Right now I'm a Scholar, but I'm wondering which would be easier to get used to, or have an easier time with (I'm not as quick as I used to be sadly lol)

Also what about Astrologist?

Regardless of the current turmoil of balance - White Mage has always been considered the easiest and most straightforward.

Scholar requires indepth technical knowledge and some management to get the most out of it.

AST is basically WHM but with more multitasking as you manage cards/buffs.

Thanks =). The card thing with Ast sounds interesting.

It can be a pretty good feeling to have a lot of buffs to hand out to people, too.

I'd suggest Astrologian if you prefer a more passive/buffer healer, WHM's heading into the direction where you are more of a DPS healer in order to get the most out of it, while AST performs really well by focusing on buffing allies and not as much a reward for dpsing, but can still dps.

it all come sdown to your preference.

Why don't you play all of them? You can use the same gears and the only thing different is the weapon.

It is!

But, definitely go with white mage first to get your healer legs back.

Very true. I already have the three healing jobs.

In your opinion, how enjoyable is astrologian now? I've heard a lot of grumbling about the changes to the cards; but, that was all based on the reveal.

I'd love to read your thoughts.

Card changes make the job busier. I personally like that. You are throwing out more cards/buffs. Healing and DPS power are still fine.
