Yes, exactly! Finally someone else who gets it. >.>

I have both classes at lvl 50. They are both COMPLETELY different play styles. Sch may heal less, but I really like tossing forcefields on people, controlling the fairy, Lustrate (best skill evar), and I even like Succor. Succor is GREAT for topping off the party, because it heals a decent amount, and follows up with a protective shield to prevent some damage. I use it ALL the time. Even to heal people if I know a big AoE is coming, like Garuda or Ifrit's 50% AoE.

Sacred Soil->Succor->Rouse->*swiftcast as AoE is hitting*->Succor->Fey Illumination->*Eos auto-using Whispering Dawn*. Oh look... everyone's just above half HP and climbing? Then you can easily top everyone off with Eos' now OP Embrace (Almost like a second healer) and Physick. Or just have the WHM finish healing everyone with Medica or w/e.

You know what my friend said when I ran those primals with her? "Wow, I love Scholars, that barely even hurt!" That's how you play Scholars. You have to prevent the damage before it hits, or you will never catch up.
