(Serious) White Mage and Scholar are equally balanced.

Lustrate and cure II are literally the same skills in terms of usage (and not lustrate = benediction like some people say), the only difference is how one is insta cast. Yes i know cure II has mp cost but that allows whms to cast it regardless anything while scholar is bound by aetherflow stacks, same way as any good whm will weave cure Is with cure IIs for that freecure proc making both lustrate and cure II require no mp. If we think about it, on a good fight, cure II won't be used more than 3~6 times per min

I actually love how a lot of scholars boast that their lustrate is instant cast, however considering how every fight on this game is telegraphed anyone should be able to predict damage income as you get more experienced with the fight. The real lustrate advantage is to heal while on cleric stance with the instant cast lowering the dps downtime and to be able to heal a target instantly.
