Please don't misunderstand me. I wasn't insulting WHM (they're actually my preferred and favorite healer -- my secondary job). I was trying to explain how they are a little bit different from SCH. Obviously, good WHM must know what's coming, especially in a situation where they must precast SS and have Cure II hit right after a hard-hitting ability. I was simply explaining the difference between a mitigation job and a straight healing job. Stoneskin is WHM's only mitigation (if you don't count Protect). The rest is straight heals and regen. Scholar's strength, on the other hand, is mitigation... adloq, succor, sacred soil. WHM and SCH play off each other in a perfect balance, although they are also made in such a way that you could get away with two of either if you REALLY want to (in MOST fights).

Again, where will astrologist fit into this equation?
