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

[Vlady]

I checked out the shared healer gears to see if Vlady's claim about WHM benefiting from shared healer gears stands. This is what I found.

When Ilv90 was highest and the myth tome gear was class specific, all the shared healer's accessories (Hero's belt, ring, earrings, necklace and bracelet) have crit as the secondary. Allagan gears from first coil was a mixed of det, crit, and ss. So SCH could get a full set of crit accessories through myth tomes while WHM needed to grind coils and extreme primals for SS and det accessories.

When ilv110 was the highest item level, most daystar were crit while accessories were ss and det. HA was a mix of ss, det, crit. ST gears were also a mix of crit, ss, and det. I actually played WHM with daystar crit gears in SCOB until HA dropped for me.

Currently Ironwork and dreadwyn are a mix of crit, det, and ss. My SCH friends who now farm FCOB have about 80% gears with crit. I have mostly SS and a bit of det and a bit of crit.

And if you will just go around and check out most white mages in Mor Dhona you will find they are wearing gear with spell speed and det because Ironworks is the easiest way to level up outside of raids. Range is an issue on its own but just because more people do not shoot for BIS does not mean that the statement is any less true. You can still perform every raid in this game using just one set of gear which more then not is what I see itleast on Balmung. I see both white mages and scholars using ironworks and WOD gear because its more easily accessed.

White mages have just raw healing and that is about it. In Odin runs when I am queued with double scholar I have had more success then not with meeting dps checks because scholars can maintain higher dps numbers despite what some people claim white mages being able to contribute similiar numbers. A combination of dots and sustained healing from fairies allows scholars to maintain more easily sustained dps over a white mage which would be going in and out of cleric stance much more often.

Also in single target healing scholars do provide stronger punch then white mage cure 3. Adlo+rouse fairie can easily top 4500+ when you include the galvanize shield.
