Get rid of Stacking Regen/Medica II?

[Garnatian]

I agree. The learning curve on the SCH is higher, imo. The more practice I get with the class, the more I like it.

Please don't say things like this. SCH is a very simple healing class and is no different in terms of difficulty than a WHM. I know you'd like to think that the class you play is very difficult to master, but it's incredibly easy.

Allow me to reciprocate mr Gladiator:
Hey, lets nerf a couple of Gladiator skills, what do you guys think?

Why would this bother me? I never understood why people get so emotional when they are told their class isn't as good as another or that their class is over-powered.

Without stack regen/medica II, most (if not all) BOSS fight can still be done by 2 WHM, and still no one would want 2 SCH.

I keep seeing that 2 SCH is bad all over the forums, so everytime I've been in a group with 2 SCH's I've been a little nervous about how it would go. But I've done Castrum, Ifrit, Hydra, and Garuda all with another SCH and it hasn't seemed any harder than having a WHM with me. So it seems like the forums exaggerate a bit.

Maybe if Whispering Dawn had a reduced cooldown...

Yes, as it stands now, endgame has the optimal setup of WHM/SCH as they synergize well, however things are perfectly doable as WHM/WHM, while some things are not with SCH/SCH.

Some tweaks are needed.

Does not change the fact that I love my SCH though.

Yep, it's why we fight for change as hard as we do, because we love the class.

There is an amazing healer in my FC who is a scholar. He does a great job regardless of the group composition, and doesn't feel his class is underpowered or that WHM need nerfs. I'll say it again: the problem is not with the methods through which SCH or WHM are given to do their job, it's the approach taken by the players when using them.

White Mage is an easier job to heal on, but it's also more limited. WHM as a stronger option for most circumstances, but is only able to do one thing at a time, due to cast times and GCDs. As a Scholar, I can manually have Eos casting a heal, cast a Succor, and immediately Lustrate the tank who just ate a mountain buster while not going onto global cooldown.

I started using the DPS parser recently, and it showed some really interesting things. On harder fights, just Titan HM, a WHM will often outheal my Scholar. And if my Scholar didn't have a pet, this would be an issue. However, my Scholar also has a little ball of light that healed for almost as much as I did on that fight, meaning I suddenly had a commanding lead on healing.

TL;DR; Scholar is amazing, and shields aren't the niche of the Scholar--Faeries are. Shields don't have to stack for Scholars to be useful stacked.

I actually play both classes. Cool thing about this game - you can play more than one class on the same character. I've actually played whm more, SCH was the second healer I leveled.

Balancing... my my, isn't that a popular word these days...

What do you guys think?

I think you're trolling for posts.

The best fix IMO is to give Succor a small HoT or fix Eos to stop casting Whispering automatically.
