To each his own I guess, I'm a WHM and can't stand playing scholar, I hate having to deal with the pet thing I just don't find it enjoyable for some reason. No offense to the scholars out there, I don't enjoy tanking or melee either as my main is Bard. On paper sure maybe one might be better than another, who knows, but I absolutely have no interest in playing SCH or SUM so to me even if it was a proven fact they are much better, I still wouldn't want to do it. I think like another poster said it's really about player skill, as that's really what matters the most, being able to predict attacks or see them coming and proactively heal and what not. There's more to it than just standing there hitting cure over and over and over. I'm sure eventually I'd give it another try, but leveling ACN to get to 15 for WHM was like torture for me. My good friend is a SCH and he has NO idea how to play at all, he'll be in a dungeon and people are constantly telling him what to do because he has the wrong carbuncle up or whatever it is. At the end of the day what difference does it make, play what you enjoy playing and just be happy there's choice of 2 healers soon 3 so everyone can do what they like the most.

You know what IS annoying? The damn 1000 char limit on this stupid forum, what are we conserving bandwidth or something!?
