The Bubble does the same Mitigation than sacred soil, downswide for the AST is he cant move/use spells. The HoT can be brought for free with you fairy... buffed... every 60sec. Also scholar still have Fey Convenant which is 20% magic def up. Additional u still have an inbuilt 20% heal up which neither the whm and ast have now.
Excogitation is an amazing skill if you are in a group which is willing to utilize it.
Chain Strategem is strong, especially in combination with other buffs. You need to see the whole picture not just the class scholar.
Hell you even have way more access to all the Aetherstack spells now. (And the 10 sec reduce procs fairly often for "just" 20%")
Fey Union is actually useful if you try to find openings for it. (e.g. Susanno when you have to move right / left as group, you can totally ignore the tank)

I'm not saying Scholar are still OP, but they got closer streamlined to the other healers and are by far "nerfed to death". And sry, but its alot of babyrage going on in here right now which isn't even justified.
Just read all the proposals in this thread. 90% of them are would be way to strong (as like in your google doc)

And yes, Bole is to strong and even everyone of the world first / Speedrunners will tell you that and even would like to see it nerfed. But that doesn't make Scholar a "dead" class.

And no... Scholars aren't the weakest healers people are just exaggerating... instead of putting so much rage into it it might be better to either try to adapt to it and might find new challenges with it or just switch to the "so called op class" with which most of the players wont even use the max capability. (like they never did with scholar and now raging about)
