Scholar DPS half of WHM or any other class

[Mazdryk1]

I know some people will come here and say "its a healing class not a DPS class". Does that mean that I need to take 2X as long to solo pve as everyone else? Maybe I should be like everyone else and just switch to Summoner for PVE but that's not what I want to do.

To be fair, jobs are intended for group play. They are 'specialized' versions of their corresponding class. In this case, the scholar is a healing/support skewed take on the arcanist. With this said, it is expected that each job's soloability will vary greatly (some being able to do it fairly well and others not so much).

For solo play, you really shouldn't be running around with a job stone equipped.
