Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XX! (Heavensward)

[Selli]

I am worried that, with the current system, Scholars and Astrologins will have to fight for raid positions. As it currently stands, White Mage is mandatory in every raid group because of the enhanced Protect and Stoneskin (and Stoneskin II is very nice!). I have seen parties complain about double Scholar (even though 1 Eos and 1 Selene work very well together) simply because their buffs were lacking/slower. I would like to see parties willing to do end-game content with SCH/AST or WHM/SCH or AST/WHM, this would allow more flexibility and strategies, especially for pugs and statics wanting to try something new.

So my question, put simply is: to allow maximum party composition opportunities between the three healers, at level 60 will Astrologin and/or Scholar be able to use Stoneskin and Protect at the same strength as a White Mage?
