Advantages of WHM over SCH?

[Alu79]

There's a misconception runnin among the ranks atm about scholars, its not supposed to be a pure healer

Are you saying it isn't a main healer? Or are you saying that the misconception out there is that people don't believe it is a main healer? If you are saying that there is a misconception out there then ya SE needs to step in and clear things up for the crazies that are all about whm supremacy. If you are saying it isn't a main healer, then I will need you to post the link of SE saying this please cause I can't find it.

Anyway, there are zero downsides to playing a whm, the only issue that crops up is playing one poorly and ooming but since bards are dime a dozen even that is no issue.
