You can't compare Scholar mitgation toolkit with protect. It's a buff that is ment to stay during the whole fight. This isn't mitigation as you want to hear it.
Every healer need it as it is now.

I'm a healer, I play the 3 of them and I wouldn't ask for selfish stupid request to a specific job for pure fantasy.
Stoneskin 18%'s return could actually be a good idea.
But less 10% on physical damages, yeah, we absolutely want Scholar and Astrologian to heal more for...nothing, just because "WHITE MAGE IDENTITYYY WAAAAH".

No seriously, think about it before saying this kind of thing...
I think too they should find something else for white mage, but don't request things like that when you don't even realise the effect it could have on a party for a lot of content.
uhm, but i was thinking ^^

first, proshell increases the magic defense by 10%, not reducing physiscal damage by 10%. and SCH and AST have protect with the 10% increased physiscal defense without the proshell trait...

we know raidbusters are never physical damage, always magic. and that's what the main purpose of proshell is: reducing the damage from raidbusters. SCH and AST have tools to reduce raidbuster damage, WHM has not.

also giving every healer proshell makes the whole protect skill kind of useless. they can just remove the skill and increase the defense and m-defense on all gear by 10%...

what about removing the proshell trait from SCH and AST, but make it only a 20 second buff for WHM? so he has to cast protect mid fight to get the benefit of the m-defense buff. i think that's a compromise we all could live with^^
