Biggest disappointment as a Scholar.

There has literally never been an MMO where healers weren't expected to do DPS in downtime, the only thing that varies is how widely accepted healers not DPSing is. Some MMOs (WoW comes to mind with discipline priest) even had entire healer jobs where them doing damage WAS their healing.

I'm sorry but it's a team game where the goal is to kill the enemy, and if you're ever just standing there doing nothing and not contributing to the goal in some way, then you're either completely out of mana, or you're lazy. There's no in between. (This applies to all healers actually, not just scholar.)

Though I will say, as an endgame scholar who did all of coil and has done up to A6S, the ONLY fight I've ever had where I had to DPS 90% of it is A5S, only because there's like barely anything to even heal in that fight. I still keep my dots up in all fights, but this is the only one where I'm literally spamming broil with an occassional succor and nothing else just because there's nothing else to do. I'm not sure why they put so little healing in this fight....

You had to level a DPS class to 30 in order to gain access to SCH so I'm not sure what you expected.

If you're throwing out random Adlos, you sound like an inexperienced SCH anyways. If you don't like the SCH playstyle, find another job to play.

Also this.
