supervirus more impactful than proshell

[AishaK]

On the ffxiv subreddit there is currently a post of a scholar solo healing bahamut prime. They did not need the whm protect to do this. They also did not need white mage's "strength" in aoe healing for this. I dont believe a white mage could solo heal this fight without a summoner for supervirus.

An important question, does astrologian actually provide a suitable replacement for the effects of ss and super virus? the card effects listed so far show one random card providing 10% damage reduction to one target, or a reduced effect on everyone if royal roaded. If this is all they have at 60 scholar will be the dominant healer for progression simply by being the strongest in mitigation.

In other words optimal groups will always be made up of sch/whm or sch/astro never whm/astro unless a summoner is tagging along.Hopefully this shows our ignorance of astrologist mitigation or virus's state in hw. Otherwise it highlights a total cluelessness of healer balance on SE's part.
