Scholars - missing the point

Shut up. No, really, shut up.

People like you drive me nuts. There is a big difference between filling a niche and filling a role. Dmg mitigation is a niche, healing is our role. Not being able to be as effective as another class in the same role is bad design. WHM niche are regens, SCH mitigation via shields. Why then is the gap in the two classes healing kits so wide? There is no reason. None. So stop these excuses as to why one should be op and the other lacking. Have you thought of pvp? Or the larger raids we will be getting soon? No? K, shut up. Damn WHM extremists.

Damage prevented is the same as damage healed. If the damage occourred and you didnt suffer for it, IS the same as, the damage occourred and you got healed by the same amount. At the end the damage has passed and your health is still at the same amount.
Please dont pretend to be blind. And dont come up with "names". Be polite aswell, you are not talking with your dog.

Pvp will be separate and balanced separately. Larger raids? Its three 8 mans, same mechanics apply.
Healing effectivly is relative, you sacrifice certain things for dmg mitigation, effective health, (as in extra health via shields), but gain longevity via mana management and safety with almost nonexistant threat. Whether or not things need to be adjusted for pet issues and sch/sch synergy is irrelevant. The class was designed to do different things. The main reason why the "gap" is so wide is becuase it is a different class. Stop expecting every class to play the same and have the same strength and weakness and focus on the actual issues.
