Right now, they could double the healing potency of all scholar heals, and it would only just barely break even with whm and ast for throughput. It was fine for sch to have lower healing throughput in the past, because we had several skills for reducing incoming damage (sacred soil, virus, eye for an eye, adloquium), and with good cooldown management, we could reduce incoming damage enough to offset the lower healing. Using aetherflow efficiently allowed us to respond to burst damage.

Now, fast-forward to the present, we've lost virus and eye for an eye (we could take it, but so can the other healers, so its not really a scholar tool anymore), adloquium was hit with 3 nerfs (higher mp cost, lower mp recovery, and lower crit multiplier). only sacred soil was kept the same, but it isn't enough. Now, just to keep up with the normal healing required, we have to use aetherflow stacks regularly, which I suppose is supposed to encourage us to use the clumbsy fey union. However, we have less spare aetherflow, because we have to use it for standard tank and group healing now, since our spell potency isn't anywhere near up to the task.

Sch has always been the least efficient healer, but also the one with the most mp recovery. We've lost the mp recovery edge, and our efficiency was made even worse. these multiplicative nerfs to scholar have killed any sense of fun with it. At the very least, we deserve an apology, and an explanation of what they were trying to accomplish with it.
