OMG Give us an AOE heal that is not worthless!

Considering the insane MP generation abilities, you hardly need a free Cure II.

Never said SCHs do.

You do get Succor for free if you cast Sacred Soil though.

20% chance.

Pre-cast that before an AoE and you get a 10% damage reduction + shields. Of course you can only cast it 3 times in a row, but that's what strategy is for.

30 second recast time. 15 second effect. Costs one lustrate/energy drain. Tied to atherflow's minute long cooldown

Don't make it sound like it can be spammed for free with no opportunity cost.

Two WHMs are more likely to run out of MP than a WHM and a SCH. Once they do, you wipe. A SCH won't run out of MP, and will save MP for the WHM in the process.

I heard bards are extremely popular, and people like to have at least 2. This isn't an excuse.

What are you going on about? I am a scholar and I'm saying there's nothing wrong.

That doesn't make you right. I could just point out the pet UI needs to be fixed and that throws a wrench in your 'there's nothing wrong' argument.

The point I'm making is succor is fine. Shields are fine. Not having an alternative to succor with how shield mechanics are isn't fine. I shouldn't have to explain to you why given this. Having only succor is like casting adloquium on someone with a stronger shield on anyway; you're wasting half of the spell, MP, and time in general.

If you can't clear stuff, that's on you - not your job.

So a L2p is the best you can fall back on rather than talk about it? Classy.
