No SCH isn't hindered by lack of bonus Mind. I and other SCH heal just fine without the bonus. We don't need it for high end dungeons unlike WHMs. As for the retarded post, I quoted you because you were next down the quote line. I made an assumption that you were responding to something someone quoted you for. All the new Crit gear we get is for Scholars overall cause we benefit greatly for it. With the way our core healing skills are we don't need Mind as much as Crit and Det. Mind will raise the potential value, but our Galvanize requires Crit Damage to give a real effect. Our Fairy makes up for the lower MND. Seing as Det increases the amount you restore. Det and Crit rate are more important to a SCH.

There isn't anything wrong with how it is and it plays well with the core healing mechanic that SCHs use. We aren't WHM and have a different healing gimmick from them. The way it is currently works. Its not a restriction on the class, it doesn't short the class in any way. If you feel that hindered by it you're playing the wrong class. You're complaint is against the core tactic of the class. If that's what you complain about, play a different class. Its pretty simple. Don't even have to change characters. Switch to a WHM, you can keep your gear minus weapon and play with a MND healing set.

The easiest way I can sum it up, don't try to change a class just because you can't play it effectively. Change your class to see what you can play effectively. The only thing keeping me from being an optimal healer is I lack cross class skills. Other than those two specific skills, I heal exceptionally well with a SCH. I'm not good at the straight healing that WHM does, but I do well healing with Damage mitigation. I can throw up a miniature Stone Skin with each healing and catch up anything that I don't initially cover as well as place at least one or two buffs on my target. I don't need bonus MND because I can use the Class as its supposed to be used. MP glutton as it is.
