White mage remain gimp because the can go scholar on real content?

[Galdous]

Awesome, let's go from senseless and factually incorrect WHM-bashing to dropping the "lulz SCH easy mode" -card. Great contribution, exactly what this classic of a thread needed.

Minus medica the white mage brings very little to the table when stoneskin and magic resistance on protection pales in comparison to what the scholar brings. I restate the only reason white mage is brought in at all is because scholar shields do not stack. If scholars were made to e able to stack with each other white mages would never be needed. The biggest example is mega and giga flare which can be dealt with by scholars so therefore the need of a white mage is purely based on allowing larger mistakes then anything else.
