I still don't understand what people dislike about Scholar, of all the healers I like it the most. Scholar> Sage> Ast, then White Mage. I feel like with Scholar I have more choice on what I can do and when. Sage healing with damage is a cool idea but the damage to heal seems weak, it just feels like scholar without the fairy where you have to damage to do what the fairy does passively. Ast just seems sadly a bit dull since the patch, and white mage has always felt boring to me. I can only speak for my experience with healers, dont have too much else leveled up yet.
