Scholars - missing the point

SCHs prevent damage, whereas WHMs cure damage. As simple as that.

To be more precise:
WHM heal a lot, prevent slowly, don't buff.
SCH heal well enough but faster, prevent a little less but a lot faster, and buff by a whole lot dps and hps.
WHM is "I keep you alive"
SCH is "I get the best out of you while supporting your HPs"
They both are fantastic jobs, I love them <3

Can you explain the buff by a whole lot dps/hps? What buffs? Eos heal potency buff for 20% on a 2 minute cd or Selene spell speed OR skill speed (never both at same time) for a measly 30% of your spell/skill speed stat? You know that Selene's buff is based on the stat on your character sheet, it is not comparable to Blood Lust from WoW.. It looks at your stat and adds 30% to it. It isn't much at all to be frank.

Also, how do we heal faster? We heal for less if multiple people have taken dmg so it takes us longer to top someone off. If we are talking a single person then sure we probably will if we chain Phys+Embrace.
It would be more accurate to say we heal less than a WHM, prevent a lot more than a WHM, and sometimes buff a bit if we have Selene out.

Also, you will only ever have one of those buffs active at any given time.

I am going to get flamed for this, but... since I have run with some GODLY Scholars ... maybe its just some scholars don't get the point of thier job or don't know their job that well. Oh right... that was the point of this thread :P

One thing they all seem to agree on is.. pet UI needs improving so do that... but anything else really changes the point ...

It's exactly what I meant in my comment O.O
WHM heal more than SCH
SCH prevent less but faster, so they can prevent during the battle while WHM can just use Stoneskin at the start to avoid initial aggro
SCH buff stats. But don't underestimate 30% skill speed, because 6 dps + 1 tank with a 30% skill speed buff deal a lot more dps.
Garuda is 10 minutes with SCH-WHM, 15 with WHM-WHM.
