Just a quick comment on healers, if your leveling a smn, your already leveling a healer. The Scholar. It shares the same XP pool as ACN/SMN. SCH is always relevant in endgame with WHM and AST being interchangeable.

if thats the case, may i ask, what makes Scholar "always relevant in endgame" cuz as far as i know (which is not much tbh) WHM is like supr defensive healer (big heals), while AST is offensive suport healer... so whats the SCH role in there?
Sorry if im wrong, im still trying to figure evrything out D:.

That is true, if you level'd or are leveling a summoner, your healer the scholar will be gaining experience as well. Just have to go to the marauders guild after you level'd your conjurer to level 15 and pick up the scholar Job stone.

So with that out of the way lets get to the actual job : scholar
Scholars are a must in every group, no matter if progression, raiding, old school, learning or just don't matter kind of content. A scholar can not only heal but has a little buddy, the so called fairy, which in most cases does the job of healing, that leads to the point that a scholar can do both - heal and dps to the same time, making this job a absolute hybrid when it comes to own play styles. Not in terms of SE declaring it an hybrid, let's not get that wrong. However it comes at a price of having to micro manage your fairy, which can be very overwhelming at the start and especially for new players.

While WHM dps is great, it can't do both to the same time, you can either heal or you can either dps, you can also do both right after another but just not at the same time. AST's dps is like none existing, and others wanna tell you it's outstanding but it is not. However Astro's can and should switch their stances they are equipped with to either slip in the role of an WHM if not already in the group or an SCH if not in the group. AST is pure support heals and while it can heal a couple of encounters solo, that will be more player skill dependent then from it's actual tool kit. But the reason people do take astro's are their cards. Mind you these are rng based but if the astro is able to please RNG'esus your runs will be much faster and in general better because of their ability to buff a single players as well as the group with damage increase, attk speed increase, spell/skill speed increase, damage taken decrease, mana and tp replenishment.

WHM will always be the main healer, and AST as well as SCH are the off healers, even tho the scholar can and will solo heal in encounters that doesn't have a two healer slot or in progression/content sale runs/speed runs etc.

I could go into detail and also explain the other two healers, as well as show you a comparison between old ARR and now new HW content, but then we are looking at least at a novel that keeps you busy for the next 5 hours. There's much more to it then "just" healing, so if you're interested in playing a healer one day, take a look at in depth guides for all 3 of them and take some time to practice.
