    Well after farming Ifrit hard about 30 times to get my book I was not once matched or out healed by a White Mage.

    Most fights ended up with me sitting at roughly 130k healing done including bubbles, and around 70-80k healing done not including bubbles with most White Mages sitting at 30-50k healing done (One White Mage, I forget her name actually put up a respectable 77k healing done). These numbers were obtained using ffxiv-app and included healing done by Eos. I also only looked at kill attempts and reset the log between each pull. These numbers also don't reflect damage prevented with Eye for an Eye, Sacred Soil, Blind, Virus, etc.

    For the record Eos puts out an incredible amount of healing, especially with Rouse, so FWIW when played right Scholars are pretty damn amazing.

    Edit: I would just like to point out that this isn't meant to slam White Mages in any way - it's clear their ability to burst AoE heal completely trounces a Scholar. But the effectiveness of the pet and being able to Pre-shield the entire group (shields let you over-heal effectively AND reduce the amount of possible HP that a White Mage can heal) is being completely overlooked by the people screaming for buffs.

    Yes we need better pet control - and I would like a bubble-less AoE heal, even if it was only 100 value, so I can spam while Succor shields are still on the raid but this is all QoL.
