White Mage is Poorly designed compared to Scholar

[sharazisspecial]

Fixes are fixes. Buffs are buffs.

SCH is now how it was supposed to be from the beginning, except for the Lustrate buff (which indeed was uncalled for - SCHs were crying for fairy AI, not Lustrate).

Before 2.1 it was impossible to manage the fairy without going into ridiculous micro-management that more often than not failed because of latency.
Even now we don't have full control on our fairy yet, but it's at least decently manageable.

Being able to control our own abilities is a fix, not a buff.

It had the same effect of a buff.

Blm double flare nerf was a fix(syncing mp ticks) but it removed dps potential from them. So a nerf.

If lustrate was now affected by healing debuffs and SE said it was a fix. You bet your ass this forum would be full of sch tears saying why SE nerfed us.

Its funny when a class gets increased capabilities from a fix "its not a buff its a fix"
When a class gets less capabilities from a fix "its a nerf!"
