Except they're still green DPS, which is part of the problem. People wouldn't be complaining if they added new and interesting healing mechanics alongside more intense healing to keep people both busy and engaged. They did neither. Instead, they neutered the DPS aspect, kept heal scaling as though it were still Stormblood and called it a day. Scholar does only a few hundred rDPS less than all four tanks now. And with the little amount of healing required outside Titan Savage, nothing changed. You'll just be spamming Broil instead of more dot management.
