Secondly, that is the whole point you ether heal or damage Scholar can't do both in the same fight.
You almost have to give up one or the other, so yes Scholar in statistics keeps up with healing, and damage
However, the Scholars parsing Damage are not healing, and the scholars parsing Healing are not doing damage.
While any other healer does not have to give up so much for one or the other.



Yes, it is? And like I also said, it's the most chosen healer for DSR, a mitigation intensive encounter - why do you think that is if SGE is superior at mitigation over SCH? (Hint: It's not!)
And no, you don't have to. In extremely optimized settings Energy Drain accounts for around 5% of a Scholar's damage. Scholar overwhelmingly gets more rDPS from Chain than it does Energy Drain. It's not an issue.

I didn't say it doesn't have oGCD's, but the few that it does have are ether part of the Aetherflow guage or fairy.
How exactly does Scholar burst work?..... Burn Aetherflow for Energy drain, Eat Fairy for Aetherflow charges burn more Energy drain.
so for a large majority of their burst, they do not have oGCD's.
This is how the majority of PF scholars play, and it is pain for co-healers.
not saying it is the right way to play but you are more likely to be kicked for low damage than low healing in PF.
Again, you're just saying to me that you really don't understand Scholar's kit at all. SCH has the most amount of oGCDs to GCDs of any job in the game; if a Scholar is doing low damage it's because they are not keeping their GCD rolling, and using Energy Drain more will not make up for that. The rank 1 log in P8S for SCH is not using every bit of Aetherflow on Energy Drain, and gets a lot of healing usage out of their Aetherflow.
I'm sorry you've played with bad PF Scholars; just block them from joining if it's such an issue? Personally speaking I would much rather have a SCH in my party than a WHM or a SGE, those two jobs have had the bulk majority of terrible players in my experiences in PF.

Shields Are not mitigation
