My Bahamut Coil group uses two Scholars because one was smart enough to reroll white mage seeing this train wreck incoming. Within one month from now if you did a character search of all white mages and scholars you will see the scholar outnumber white mage by 5x. For now the white mage has outnubmered the scholar but that is at an end. Even with the limit break nerf to class stacking the min/max decision will go the double scholar route.
It's not about defending the "gimp" status of the WHM now. It's pointing out that things aren't nearly as bad as WHMs (and you) are making it seem like. Medica II got changed (note I said changed and not really nerfed). It still has it's HoT effect but it got extended over a longer period of time. It does change how a WHM uses the skill but it affects that skill and that skill only.

Here's the key part that everyone seems to be forgetting. NOTHING ELSE ABOUT WHITEMAGE HAS CHANGED. White mages are still going to pour out fatter heals more consistently than SCHs. They're STILL going to raid heal BETTER than SCHs. I'm so sick and tired of WHMs acting like their class got nerfed to the ground when what happened was ONE TINY CHANGE to ONE RAID HEAL. As far as I'm concerned only BRDs and maybe SMNs have a right to be crying rivers of tears.
