I would actually say WHM and SCH are pretty comparable in WP speedruns...

When I go through speedruns as a white mage, I have to switch between Cleric stance (holy spamming) and turning off Cleric stance, refreshing Regen, and capping the tank off with a Cure II. My WHM is well-geared (Relic and full DL) so gear is not an issue here.

Scholar, on the other hand, have a fairy to continue throwing out supplemental heals. Lustrate, to my knowledge, is percentage based on the tank's total HP and thus it doesn't MATTER if you are in reducing your damage by being in Cleric Stance or not.

I'm a summoner. I run this as a summoner. My damage is DoT damage. A scholar in Cleric stance can do comparable damage with their DoTs simply because of how the mechanics work. I'm not complaining about it because every job has their place and I like that SCH have more 'options' than just staight-up healing. So, they can throw up the three DoTs, Bane (for one Aethercharge), and switch right back to healing. All the while, their pet gives supplemental heals/buffs to the party which WHM do NOT have. Don't forget those shields and Lustrate, too. If you use one Aethercharge for Bane, you have two Lustrates waiting and ready to use. That's 40% total HP, including whatever else you cast and the heals your pet throws out... more than enough to get this done.

Holy spam will hit for around 500 AoE, but it's a huge manadrain. DoTs, on the other hand, are not. If you are speedrunning, you have to make a choice between damage and conserving mana. No one wants you to go OOM.

Also, perhaps this has been explained but I always assume people post as their main class on these forums. OP, do you play SCH or are you posting for someone else who is unhappy about it?

By the way... scholar Titan parties? Has anyone mentioned this? Scholar is a pretty powerful, versatile class. Just because they can't faceroll quite as fast as a WHM on an iLevel 55 dungeon being completed by mostly people in iLevel 70/80/90 gear doesn't mean an adjustment needs to be made.
