Scholars - missing the point

[Garnatian]

Use Steady, she will only use Embrace.

Pretty worthless. She "un-steadys" if you try to use Embrace. So you lose out on healing either way.

How do I prevent fairies from using certain skills automatically? I tried to use 'Obey' command but it just pops up the error message 'Invalid target'.
If I draw their skills in my own skill bars, do they still use them automatically?

You have to target an enemy.

SCH shouldn't be as good at healing as WHM. If they are, something is wrong because then WHM is obsolete.

Really? because SCH's don't fill a "healer role" they fill the backseat healer role, obviously next to a whm. Lets change the duty finder people. 1 Tank, 2 dps 1 WHM, and a backseat healer.

If SE just added really bright flashing animations to represent shields, maybe scholars would then understand their role.

A Scholar's class defining feature isn't the shielding that is attached to two of their heals--it's the faerie. Shields are part of the Scholar toolkit, just as Regen is part of the White Mage's toolkit. This isn't WoW where a Priest has tools like Spirit Shell or Power Word: Shield. A Scholar's role is healing, with shielding being part of that role.

Which is better? That depends a great deal on the situation. In a raid, having both a SCH and a WHM is preferable, with each bringing different tools to the table. A White Mage has an easy time dealing with huge raidwide damage, while a Scholar is better able to support a tank who is getting hit for 2-3k every few seconds. You can certainly healing through AoE damage as a Scholar, just as a White Mage can keep up a tank taking heavy damage, but it will be harder and less MP efficient for you to do so.

In short, stop bickering. Both are main healers who work very well together.

That's my point. SCH already have better damage mitigation and infinite MP. If you give them burst healing, they'll do literally everything that matters better than or equal to a WHM. Why the hell are we the only mage class without infinite MP, anyway? I want to redraw those straws.

WHM/SCH > WHM/WHM > SCH/SCH

It needs to stay this way. (And yes, I have both at 50)

Lol and there it is..

Life's so good when we have 1 WHM and 1 good SCH in the party. <3

If every SCH works on their micro-management skills, they'd make Eorzea a better place.
