healer vit points

[Anova]

Hmm, if it works, it works. I think there was some debate about skill speed but crit eventually beat out spellspeed simply by proc chance.

They did change the crit formula so it's not as powerful at higher ilvls, so I'd play around with a combination of crit and spellspeed maybe. Spellspeed is still very underwhelming even on a class like WHM where it was intended for. You don't have to follow the meta blindly, but I wouldn't go too far out of my way as to equip all VIT either (i know you only have 1 VIT ring, which is fine for survivability).

The VIT Attributes is quirky but it's like having a SMN main healing as a SCH (actually better since more HP is generally better than INT that you never use anyway). You will probably do fine regardless, but it's not optimal for cutting-edge healing. There's this mentality where as long as you can stay alive, a healer can bring you back up to full HP (so actual healing value is appreciated more).

It is known that SCH is much more passable with a low MND than WHM or AST, so I can believe you didn't wipe anyone. I would take a look at your fellow healers though; especially in 8man content where your healing and dps matter. Many Scholars DPS the entire fight (except throwing in heals at crucial bursts which don't necessarily crit either),so it's not like a good healer or static group can't compensate for a full VIT scholar, but it's just a question of how efficient your build is at balancing DPS and Heals and whether your party plays with that quirk in mind.
