Scholars in end game?

Im wondering how Scholars are doing in the end game dungeons and bahamuts coil? Im curious because i haven't had any problem with scholar healing but i hear some people complain about it would be kinda mad if i got to 50 and found out that the raiding guilds wont bring a scholar.

The SCH and WHM jobs were designed to be equally as powerful and affective, moreso in endgame than levelling, in my experience (SCH healing was painful before AoEs and Leeches)

People have actually calculated that, because of the pet's Embrace, SCHs are actually more efficient than WHMs and have a few desirable abilities that are unique to it, such as the AoE damage reduction (Sacred Soil) and Eye for Eye, as well as Lustrate which restores 20% of the target's max HP in exchange for an Aetherflow charge instead of MP. It's an amazing ability which means that you can bring a tank to full HP within a matter of seconds when near-death without having to wait for the spell GCD.

The only main flaw with SCH at endgame is its AoE restoring capabilities. It has Succor which is relatively weak at first glance, but its Adloquium effect, and when piled with Eos' Whispering Dawn, still make it a very reliable job.

Ideally all 8-man endgame content will consist of at least 1 WHM and 1 SCH.

Edit: It's also worth mentioning that the Adloquium shield effect is an amazing bonus to the job.

Well i know the theory that that 1 white mage and 1 scholar should be ideal but some are saying that stacking 2 whites mages if better than the preemptive shields because of the stacking of the regens from the white mages.

Also the few screen shots ive seen from bahamuts coil shows the group having 2 white mages instead of 1 of each.

I guess ill really wanting someone from a guild thats actually doing bahamuts coil to pop in and tell if their group is progressing through the coil with a scholar.

We're currently working on Coil Turn 4 and we use 1WHM 1SCH. Scholars are very good.
