WHM getting progressively more unnecessary in content?

Those topics are really not related to each other at all. They're all different topics I wanted to discuss around the healers. Saying it's just the same topic again and again is a stretch.

I also want to bring the issue of WHM and AST to, hopefully, someone at SE' attention. Because hardly anyone else talks about it until a topic shows up, and the general consensus is that WHM is "fine" (which is actually just viable, not fine).The last thing I want is to go into 4.0 still just a pure healer and fall flat on my face with content because everyone made it seem that WHM didn't need any changes and SE left it as is.

Now I admit that Im not raiding currently but at the same time alot of people dont even raid , so I can say that me personally I feel better about whm , than scholars in dungeons I feel like if Im taking high damage Ive seen more people fail as a scholar than a whm, I think people always mention whats good in a raid when over half the community doesnt even raid at all

Tbh just so long as you properly manage your Aetherflow stacks Scholar is equally equipped for clutch-saves as WHM is, even a little bit more so, since they have the most amount of instant heals per minute, plus a free heal every 3 seconds that is stronger than Regen and free of cast and MP cost (fairy). The problem with most average-DF Scholars is that they don't know how to properly use their fairies or don't know how to manage their Aetherflow stacks to keep track of possible mistakes. Though the later can also be contributed to an excess of trust in your DF party :P. Always a terrible thing to have, LOL.

In any case, this doesn't really provide much for the OP's topic, save for stating that Scholar's emergency healing is actually better than WHM's in terms of efficiency. I have posted repeatedly in Tonberry's threads about WHM and they probably know I completely agree with the sentiment that WHM is underequipped in comparison to their peers right now. Hope the cross class revamp fixes some of that!
