Will WHM be getting a new trait to replace ProShell?

[Lyrica_Ashtine]

You really shouldn't bring an unpredictable variable like player proficiency into a numerical evaluation. Maybe I should have used simpler units like X and X+1, instead of numbers. If there is no variable in potency or proficiency and shit just happens, then the +1 is lost to WHM and it is not lost to a SCH. Case closed.

I believe you're the one who brought "player proficiency" into things first: Overhealing. Overhealing isn't something the class does, it's what the player does. In your examples of "where you heal for 2000 points whereas only 1000 was needed" was an example where the player decided to use an overly powerful spell for said circumstances. If it was an example where Cure would be used over Cure II and would still overheal, this problem still applies to Scholar as Cure and Physick have the same potency.

As for this:

And we are already talking about what's going to happen in the expac (i.e. the point of this thread), and how the current system is going to affect it/be affected by it. If you agree with me, then why are we arguing?

You said the following:

The aren't "stronger" they're just in possession of a particularly marketable skill. WHM, realistically speaking, is the weaker of the two by a wide margin (poor raid dps, accuracy, overhealing). The fact is, they're taking something from WHM that makes it valuable, and they need to replace it with something that makes it equally valuable. Otherwise people will get WHM to lvl 16, or 34 for stoneskin, and then trash it in favor of the more versatile/useful healers.

Weaker of the two implies you're talking about Scholar and White Mage, meaning Astrologian wasn't even considered when you wrote that. And what you consider "valuable" for White Mage is something I do not agree on. At least, not on the ground where you think that makes White Mage "valuable" as where Scholar is "better".

Lastly:

That aside, I agree that it's not that imbalanced. I never said it was that imbalanced. But only a fool would consider one not to be the better of the two. One is better and it's SCH, even if by a small margin.

WHM, realistically speaking, is the weaker of the two by a wide margin (poor raid dps, accuracy, overhealing).

So what is it?
