Well, because when you compare old Scholar to old White mage you will see that Scholar has more going on than White mage which means that they have to put more effort into playing optimally than a WHM.

Because original White Mage was straight forward. Aero instant cast, Aero 2 hard cast, Aero 3 hard cast, Stone -> Reapply dots.

Roeshel, can you please refrain from replying with sparky comments on things you weren't around for? It just makes you look, severely misinformed is the polite term I will use.

You have no clue what it was like to play back then, be quiet and let the FF14 "Adults" talk.

And what was Scholar like?

Miasma - Bio II - Swiftcast - Shadowflare - Bio - Aero - Broil -> Reapply dots

I don't see a lot of difference. Healer's always played like "bare-bones WHM" when it came to dealing damage. The only difference between Scholar and White mage is that WHM had to hard cast their healing spells while Scholar had a fairy that was doing all the healing for them and they could command it while casting Broil. In Shb all healers still deal damage in the same manner. The difference in healing methods still persists to a degree but this time around things are actually balanced.
