One option to eliminate the healer shoudl/should not dps conflict would be to remove all damage spells while in dungeons/raids/primals.
No discussion if the healer should dps because he can't dps.
To give healers more to do we could give them a number of support skills turning it more into a healer/support class.

I'd drop Scholar (and Astro and WHM) like a hot rock if they took away my ability to DPS.

Or maybe they like healing but want to play their job to its full potential?

Removing dps abilities wouldnt work anyway, holy and assize are both healing/dps abilities.

I'm guessing by your response that you haven't looked at my Lodestone info. I have almost every job at 60 and I actually play many jobs on a regular basis, including DPS jobs. Quite honestly, healing in most of this game's content is so easy that I think I'd fall asleep if I didn't DPS. Throwing out a heal and standing around twiddling my thumbs for 15-20 seconds waiting for the tank's HP to fall isn't my idea of a good time. Scholar's base class is a DPS class and it remains very true to that, which is what I enjoy about it. It's a very flexible job. If I have a good co-healer and a very self-sufficient party (i.e. one that knows how to avoid licking the floor candy), I can crank out several hundred DPS while still helping keep the tanks alive. If the party (or my co-healer) is new or undergeared or just isn't so great, then I can back off of that and go full carry-mode with the heals.

Exactly this. If I can keep the tank on his feet AND help do damage, why shouldn't I?

Good point about Assize, as well.

I would do the same. I love healing on SCH but honestly once I know the content I really don't have to do much healing at all.
I've literally fallen asleep in a low level dungeon before, it was awful. (I had decided not to DPS but...obv not the right choice hhaha).
