BIS SCH - ACC Drama and my POV

[Kaisha]

1. Energy drain - loss of 900mp each, in total on your example 3.5k, 3.6k mana

While the odd miss is annoying, I've yet to be negatively affected by this during progression in A4S despite Whirbelwind's dropping me to 0mp multiple times, requiring holding onto Aether/Shroud.

This seems to be a common misconception about the Scholar's role in general. The scholar has the ability to make everything easier for the entire group: DPS checks and (e)HP checks. This makes Scholars extremely popular. [b]But it's not your job to make the other healer's job a nightmare

It's only a misconception when you apply that logic outside of raiding. You can thank the DPS checks in A3S/A4S making combined tank+healer DPS contribution a heavy influence on you clearing before enrage or not.

As for stuff like Thordan, it's negligible unless you're in a group of complete beginners who can't do simple dps rotations to where your contribution as a SCH would make or break that extremely lenient enrage check, but in that situation it'd just be better to let the DPS get more experienced with the encounter.
