    BLMs are pretty scary if people let them freecast or if they have cooldowns up, since they can take you from 100% to 0% in about four seconds. They go down quite easily when people actually attack them, however.

    Summoners are, as usual, still annoying as shit. The very potent healing debuff and the heavy DoT pressure they can spread around, along with some stupidly potent burst if they have all cooldowns available (Raging Strikes, apply DoTs, witheraethericburstfesterenkindleenergydrain dead) makes them incredibly dangerous. Scholar doesn't have the burst, but they of course have great heals and can still apply decent DoT pressure, with Adloquium really helping them to complete casts more easily. A decent SCH can kill almost anything 1v1 without too much trouble, even if it takes a little while.

    Both healers, by MILES, SCH probably coming on top. BRD...? xD are you guys serious? I can take 2 BRDs with my SCH with both hands tied to my back. The most overpowered classes by far are both healers, and when I mean by far it's..............BY FAR. I haven't lost a single 8v8 in a flag when we had 3-4 healers in the same group, it's literally impossible (unless they are the 4 worst healers in the entire planet which still hasn't happened in none of my games). Meanwhile, DPS and tanks are just...how was it? Fresh meat.

    I have an average of 50-60k dmg and 120k heals in every match as a SCH. You can't match that with anything.

    Personally I've thoroughly enjoyed PLD the most and the bias in me would stick to it as being "OP". ;P

    Stun spamming and Spirits Within; coupled with Full Swing with enhanecment III makes you the perfect healers bane. The DPS isn't all that bad either. =]

    God this +10. I love being SCH. I was one on one with a Bard who kept attacking me for 0 for 30 seconds thinking he stood a chance of killing me. After 30 seconds Aetherflow was ready again. I popped Cleric's Stance and blasted him with 6 Ruin 2s and 6 Energy Drain and killed him in about eight seconds... He stood no chance. He still didn't take a single hit point off either.

    This thread is insightful if people say SCH doesn't have Burst damage. The only people I haven't killed with the above method is tanks.

    And this. Great damage, great heals. Not uncommon to go over 200k on a flag camp run. Vast majority of people don't know how to take a Scholar down. It's fun, right?

    You would never kill me as a Paladin ever. You've come against some poor Scholars if you think you're Healer's Bane.

    A. Scholar whm bard
    B Summoner blm
    c Mrd paladin
    d monk drg

    Bard shines i groups as the ycan shut down a healer. following him preventing casts this is teh only reason bard is top tier is they are good in groups at just keeping healer interrupted. can solo most dps classes losses to healers
    A scholar can solo any class as they are the best. even when being chased aeos does a lot of work add on 3 instant cast lustrates its hard to shut them down.
    Whm has too much cc and utility repose knock back stun heavy on top of cures decent damage in a pinch
    Summoner has decent damage and utilty garuda helps a lot with push back
    blm is hard to place but if left to there own devices can do really good damage but right now level 1 limit is too good
    mrd - no gap closer makes its hard for them they can distract a healer but once you have stun on cool down and holm gang you get to play nas car with sprinting healers
    paladin - more cc than mrd makes them useful at herding and at shutting down characters but doesnt bring too much to the table
    Monk - ok damage and shoulder tackle is nice, not enough hp armor and no escape from combat once you are in the fray you are stuck more or less
    drg same as monk add in on command stun and elusive jump, a better class i feel but still weak comparatively.

    I do love a challenge. =D In all seriousness you're correct that a lot of Scholars that know their role have generated much rage from me and laugh at the attempts I've thrown. Usually have to co-ordinate my DPS to attack at the same time when I hit Full Swing.

    I'm just bias for my PLD. Really rate Frontline in general. =]

    Every job has a role, it is just people have yet to figure them out yet. As such, some jobs will seem absurdly OP right now... In the end, it's all down to personal preference. I love peeling and disrupting with my MNK though.

    Both are incredibly shit. I was facing a WHM one on one, and I needed literally 2 minute to kill him since they heal so damn quickly.

    In theory, BLM/SMN are the most OP jobs with the use of their AoE Limit Break. I laughed at this one time where we (flames) were fighting adder on manor, and there were so many AoEs active that they didnt see the circle while our BLM casted from behind a wall. Not even with their tanks tesudo could save em. Was hilarious.

    All in all, the most OP job in Frontlines is strategy and coordination, and i dont mean scholar x)

    Stack Critical Hit, Somersault them, pop IR, use Arm of the Destroyer every time it's up, apply your two main DoTs. Dead healer is dead.
