Scholars - missing the point

[Eriane]

Fairy heal is not instant, has a cast time and a 3 sec cd, and if you command the fairy to heal a specific target shift the fairy out of steady stance meaning that the first moment it gets will cast/waste its aoe hot.
WHM do not have mana issues unless the group is taking unnecessary dmg OR the WHM is using the wrong set of heals and over healing. Also, SS is actually pretty damn good, the only drawback is actually its cast time. If it were shorter I'd use it during combat.
Raid healing isn't and shouldn't be a niche, it is part of the role, this is the issue a lot of us are having with the class. It has an incomplete healing kit. Precasting Succor is one thing and it is fine for that but it is very lackluster and weak when dmg has already been dealt. Succor doesn't block much.

If you don't know what a lot of people take issue with or even the class mechanics, why comment at all?

There are plently of posts and forums topics on fairy management, no one is saying it doesn't need fixes, but there are scholars saying they manage to use it. Regardless it is a way to single target heal without shields.

IF is an interesting word for saying you would use a spell. If stoneskin was better i would use it too.

Whm's have plenty of mana issues, moreso IF we try to use things like "pretty damn good" spells like stoneskin.

Any healer including a sch will not have issues or as many issues if the group isn't taking unnesessary dmg and doing content they are geared for....
