Wanting an explanation for said op of scholar cause I'm not seeing it in my experienc

[Yeol]

When talking about 'op jobs' you'll see WAR and SCH name pop a lot for reasons.

SCH can heal/shield + good DPs + fairy that is not affected by CS + very good MP recovery.

Not many players can bring out SCH full potential. Most go SCH in dungeons because the fairy can pretty much handle almost everything for them.
So if I were to compare average player skills, I would say SCH is very relaxing (at least for me).

but in your experience does that happen all the time tho, cause it doesnt in mine esp if you use selene she doesnt even have an aoe heal at all , Id like to think that the raiders in this game are good at the game thats why they are raiding ha but when it comes to duty finder or just queing in for a dungeon in my own experience like I said Ive done better with whm and now astros, Im almost tempted to do small pulls with scholars cause it has been a bit bad when Im in a party with them.

I would assume that they get selfish in wanting to dps more thus letting tank HP go lower than normal but they know when to heal.

As for AoE, I usually shield the party before and after it hits. If my shields crit, party takes 0 or very little damage.
I try to keep my shields up to minimize damage done as much as possible because then I can top them all easily and return back to CS.

SCH is very good with damage mitigation. Yet I see many players only healing after the damage is done and not trying to use their tools to minimize it.

Also, a very good SCH will use both fairies (mostly during endgame) rather than using 1 fairy for the whole run.

Ill try that one but I dont think Ive ever seen a scholar change their pet mid dungeon, I am just not seeing it at all and as I was leveling scholar I was waiting to see like just this amazingness that set it apart from the other healers and I just dont. I will admit Ive spent most of my game time playing whm, but what your mentioning is a highly skilled player at the job Im sure whm or astro can be play at the same level. I have ran into far more just average players that make mistakes that screw up that die in lower level stuff that die in potd, and because of the complexity of the job it can be amazing but only in the hands of the right player. An average whm can be alot more effective than an average healer and thats a decent portion of the population so the job cant really be op because of the people playing it.

I agree with this. WHM is straightforward and a good choice for players who are new to healing because there is nothing complex behind it.

Jobs can be OP due to the ways they are designed and what they are capable of doing.

An example will be WAR, they can hold aggro, do very decent damage and heal themselves efficiently. But you don't see WARs doing all this in dungeons. They will mainly hold aggro and that is it. Same can be said about SCH, player will only heal when damage is done ignore all other things SCH can do.

These jobs have tools that makes them unique compared to others and they will shine if played well. Sadly not many do this or I should say dungeons are so easy that they are not required to play them on that level.

I guess you need to see it in order to believe it, just search for 'SCH solo heal' you'll find many videos and enjoy watching them.
