White Mage is Poorly designed compared to Scholar

[Eriane]

Yeah, this.

What I see about White Mage and Scholars:

1. White Mage is for burst heals with threat of enmity. Evident with Cure II, Benediction, and Shroud of Saints
2. Scholar is for sustained heals. Evident with low heal potency, multiple instances of heals and sustainable flow of MP

In single target healing whm can't touch sch burst healing. A sch microing pet is almost always healing close to the potency of a whm cure 2. The only area where whm excel is burst aoe healing.

What low heal potency? cure and physick are the same, then add embrace.

whm cure 2 in ilvl 90 is roughly 1700 with a det build.
sch physick is roughly 1000 plus fairy at 650 for half the mana and half the threat with a crit build. Fairy heal is slightly longer, but then factor adlo. with the shield the potency is equal to cure 2 on its own. I won't bring up lustrate.
