(Serious) White Mage and Scholar are equally balanced.

[Saseal]

It was more a criticism of Vlady and similar (For my part, I honestly don't get why there is such an urge to convince people one job is superior to another, both here and in the other role forums). And, I think the OP is just expressing their frustration at the whole situation.

^ This x_x

Another question to ask is 'why bring up a topic that does nothing but incite anger/frustration'? Whats the point?...

But that's what makes it so sad, isn't it? We can't talk about it because it makes everyone angry. For as much as they seem to compete, the dps really do get along better xD

And yes, my only problem with these threads is that they're not all combined into one thread; essentially, they just keep starting over instead of just continuing.

And what does it hurt if people want to post threads with their opinion on the matter? Some people feel that white mages are going from a mediocre spot to a bad spot in Heavens ward. You are more then welcome to just pass over this forum topic and you will never have to deal with the issue again. To others it is a debate we are passionate about and the more I love a game the more I want to put in my two cents on what I feel will make a better gaming experience.

No, it's more that people get upset because people insist one has to be, or is flat out, superior. Regardless of any information to the contrary people insist one is better. It gets very annoying and it's an old beaten horse. It's be discussed to death and people are tired of seeing the same things over and over, especially when it generally seems like people are being completely bias.

As Lyrica_Ashtine would say: There are a lot of scholar bandwagoners.

Because scholar having the hands down best heal in the game is really balanced? Give white mages a heal that is instant cast and isnt on a 5 minute cooldown then call it a day.

Lustrate doesn't automatically make SCH better than WHM.

SCH can spike considerably more single target healing than WHM, whilst WHM can spike considerably more AE target than SCH. What is the issue?

You are completely deluded pls =(

Yeah... incredibly sad. ._. Why can't we all just get along!? ;o; (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻*:･ﾟ✧

But the 'makes everyone angry' part comes in when people make comments that are, or interpretted as, 'holier than thou'. It's as much a clash of personalities as it is a clash of topic.

Not to mention that by the time it takes a Scholar to Lustrate 6 times, a White Mage would have already healed 8 players twice with Medica or Cure III.

Depending on what the SCH is healing, this is an exaggeration. Besides, why waste 6 Lustrates like that? Rather just let Eos do Fey+WD and Succor. Moving on. It was probably for comparison purposes, but that isn't really fair. That's like saying the SCH would have restored a Single target to max before WHM could get out a Cure II. >w>
