Succor healing values are garbage when you need to top your raid off and whispering dawn is on cd. Getting pet skills locked out when your gcd is active is garbage. Less tools to heal stupid is garbage. Less tools to deal with the unexpected is garbage.
Scholar is a supporting healer, not a main healer. That is why you need one scholar and one white mage in an advanced situation. (Titan HM for example.) They are not garbage, my two mains are White mage and Scholar! And I've gotten past titan HM on both because I play them correctly. Scared Soil, Virus, Adloquium, Succor, Eye for an Eye, access to Stone Skin and Protect, and Fey Covenant. All these abilities retroactively prevent damage. All these are accessible by every scholar. If you don't already know what scholar is supposed to do, just look at these abilities. And while YOU are using all these support abilities, you even have support yourself! Your fairy is always helping you out and backing up the party! The only thing we need as scholars now is for pet abilities to be macro-able. 1 scholar and 1 white mage is way more useful on Garuda HM and Titan HM than stacking either of them. They are necessary and relevant and not under powered.
