Scholar and Healing (ignoring the dps aspect)

[Enla]

I'm a WHM main but I also play scholar. SCH shields need some serious buffing. The thing that made SCH unique was their focus on preventing damage. WHM is the reactionary healer so we should excel in pumping out quick recovery, but SCH should excel in mitigating or preventing damage. AST is supposed to be a hybrid of them but has come to overshadow both classes in their unique areas.

Exactly. AST was supposed to be a unique blend that could do both jobs, just not /quite/ as effectively. Instead it's so overtuned that both WHM and SCH are overshadowed by comparison. It shouldn't go back to it's 3.0 days, but it does need some nerfs or balances to make the situation viable for all.
