If WHM was in such dire straits and it made you upset, you should be doubly so upset now that other classes are in similar positions - not gleeful or vindictive - because it shows that the dev team hasn't learned from their mistakes and is content to let others wallow about in the same "snooze zone." If you're truly upset about where WHM was, you shouldn't want anyone to be in that zone.
And I said in that post twice that I didn't like the fact that Scholar got hit with the boring bat. What dries up my sympathy pretty quickly is the fact that, every time Scholars get hit with the nerf bat in all the wrong places, Scholar mains have a collective stroke and start freaking out about WHM being better than them in any way, and it makes the claims that they don't want to be OP ring kinda hollow. Every expansion this happens. Don't worry, you'll get buffed up to the most overpowered job in the game within a month, and a large portion of the Scholar population will return to telling WHM fans to shut up and "It's not that bad", or (my personal favorite) "job balance will always make one job the best and one the worst, so you can't complain!" The groundhog day vibes are exhausting.

Again, I'm not so much laughing at the plight of Scholar as I am rolling my eyes at players of the dev-designated OP job squawking about "Holy is better than my AOE, NERF it". It tells me that there are a bunch of Scholars who are a little too used to just being better at everything.
