White Mage vs Scholar - Why is White Mage lacking?

[Sanguisio]

lol this thread.

I think of it this way, can the dps selene contribute do more then I can EOS frees me up from healing.

Obviously little things like if you have 2+SMNs its wasteful to use selene imo.

I play both sch and whm, and they both are perfectly fine, shroud is fine it should be used at 1k mp in or if there are adds, then every time its up after that. sch and the fair if they heal the same target is equivalent of a cure 2 unless rouse is on. Obviously you don't comprehend the value and utility of both.

I just wish whm was less boring.
some more Off gcd abilities besides bene, maybe based off cure/cleanse procs.

After actually reading 15 pages of this thread (yes, I'm bored at work), no one has made the most important statement yet:

Preference.

If you prefer SCH over WHM, you are going to play it better. The same goes for the reverse. They are almost equally balanced. I'm a better SCH than WHM, because I like it more, it suits my personal play style.

When Astroligian rolls out, we can all have a laugh at these threads.

This topic wasn't about preference or whatnot. The OP was making a statement about one job being inferior to another kit-wise.

You left out the rest of my post. The point I was making was they are both equal in terms of gameplay in the right hands. OP thinks SCH is better just because he prefers the tools it has.

Not really. The OP is stating, flat out, that WHM is worse and needs to be buffed to be on par with SCH. He never claims it as personal bias, but presents it as fact.

Words of wisdom from Eggnook. Hey guy what's up? How's work? Anyway, my take on this is "Yes"...maybe WHM could use a buff, just a small buff to mp issues the job is know to have from time to time. (Shiva EX FIGHT). I play both but mostly stick to Sch. because of my deep SMN roots. A team of Sch and Whm is good. I'd like Whm to get more DPS spells maybe Wind 3 or Earth 3 anything like a AOE with a dot just to make Whm more fun to play.

I don't leave home without my pocket WHM. The toolset is really strong (same w/SCH) honestly the balance between the two healing classes in this game is very good and very synergistic. Better than othe games I've played. Maybe more mana rerun on shroud or at least have it scale as a percent? Really all in all it is in good shape.

What about Holy II? =3
