20% chance on two spells you spam while healing.

A possible 48s cooldown instant cast 15% of max HP absorb (stat inflation in SB? Warrior in Defiance at 70 in raid gear?), 600 potency instant cast AOE heal that costs a secondary resource from lilies, Zero MP cost for 12s, instant across the board haste (reduces CDs too), AND you still have a PBAOE stun that literally no one else has. Don't forget the nuke with no requisite and the potency of Fire IV.

Why the salt? Because a scholar can give someone else their fairy, have a lazy "oh &*#!" heal, and up critical rate on a target (Which effects you, if you're there. Free, hasted, 5% boosted Stone 4 spam? Don't forget you're still not DPS but that won't be laughable). Or because they gave a card nuke and a triggered damage/heal to AST?

White Mages are amazing now. Bole and Chain Strategem are not going to remove WHM usefulness. If that were the case, everyone would just want two scholars to get CS up twice. Bole isn't a 100% draw, even if you can hold it. All they did was make SCH even more lazy. They made WHM better in general, especially with the removal of stance dancing. I'd pick WHM over the other two in a heartbeat now. It actually sounds a lot more than a "pure healer" now, as everyone likes to throw around. It sounds like a mage.
