So.. who's leveling a SCH?

Exactly. Plus remember that bards have to gimp their DPS to carry WHMs, while they can save ballad longer with SCH since they can micromanage their own MP for quite some time. This, in turn, increases party efficiency by maximizing DPS.

Really, I'm fine with the WHM nerfs. Do I think some of them were unneeded? Yes, but I can adjust.

All I ask for is a little better MP management.
-Scale SoS bases on mind
Or
-decrease SoS cool down

If SE really doesn't want to touch SoS, then please give WHM Blissful Mind back from 1.0

Bard can also Foe Requiem if they don't need to use ballad. Increasing all damage from discipline of magic classes by 10% or 20% at no penalty to the bard.

Although a whm can't really spam their spells/raise like scholar can afford too. As your gear gets better you have much less mana problems.
