Scholars are too good in pve and pvp soon

[Sebazy]

High end guilds are ditching white Mage for double scholar now and pvp is looking to make scholar healing the reigning king of healers.

Which high end guilds are these then? If it wasn't for the coil lockout I suspect you'd see solo heal videos for much of coil. The only turn I'd consider not to be solo healable at all would be T4. Enmity would be the problem for the earlier phases whilst the damage taken across both tanks as the final dreadnaught pops is just too high for one person to manage. As far as PvP goes, if you think the fairy is going to be a powerhouse in wolves I suspect you are in for a rather nasty surprise, as is it's going to amount to little more than killable healing cool down. Park it and it'll get focus fired, have it on follow and it'll barely cast a thing.

I hope se gets it's act together before patch goes out. There are videos now of every raid encounter being solo healed by scholar up to phase 2 of Bc. High end guilds are ditching white Mage for double scholar now and pvp is looking to make scholar healing the reigning king of healers.

And you don't know everything. There are rumors of 4/8 SCH party destroying every contents currently available and unavailable and SCH soloing Bahamut Coil ... and even that the game would be called Final Scholar XIV : a scholar awakened before it going F2P.

Honestly all this speculation is just stupid .

and if anyone is the better pvp healer it would be whm kiting throwing regens.

for sch..... fairy seems like it might put some meaning to "fresh meat"

And you know what they say? Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

The only reason that most geared groups are running double SCH right now is because there aren't many fights that are tuned for heavy raid-wide AoE damage. Arguably, the only real end game fight that forces heavy raid damage is Titan HM. T1 - poison stacks don't hit for shit. T2 - 200 damage every 5 seconds or so? T4 - Hard Enrage (Completely skippable now that groups are overgearing). T5 - Fireball.

Better lowest than none, right ?

Ditching whm for double sch @.@ I just...I don't see that as being better I mean maybe if our succor's stacked then maybe it'd be a different story =p for having sacred soil stack etc.

[Vlady]

Actually two scholars don't even need to stack two succor casts. Between Aldo shielding and managing pet two scholars as of now can heal up an entire group in seconds.

[Vlady]

And in a way sacred soil does stack. We take turns rotating out soil with the other scholar.

Scholars are strong, but there is no best class/job for anything right now. Assuming too much they will be great in PvP. Right now pvp is a mystery. We know its going to be 4v4 matches, but gear and items have still not been revealed yet.
