Healers in 5.0

[seida]

Scholar was not gutted at all. People are overreacting to them losing Bane and Shadowflare which I honestly saw coming. They've been wanting to separate scholar from summoner and aside from creating a new base class for scholar to evolve from in addition to creating new lore and quests from 1-80, this was the decision that made the most sense.

Bane, shadowflare, miasma, miasma II, energy drain.... how is losing FIVE key dps abilities not gutting scholar?

Unless they seriously increase the need for healing going forward (oh, and somehow do the same for all old content) healing is going to be the most boring job in the game. Hardly any need for healing, even dpsing in the downtime will send you to sleep.
