Square Enix removed so much from our dps kits it's ridiculous. I honestly hate where the Scholar is right now...so boring. It's basically just mashing the same button a million times while juggling a single, low damage dot.

The Best advice I can give you is to just try to get used to the slower pace, it does get worse as you progress. And, of the 3 healers White Mages are top in damage.
