Why you should play a healer!

Hats off to you milady/milord, for having such tenacity in spite of adversaries. Healing does not come naturally for everyone, but I wholeheartedly agree with Kabzy that your attitude will take you very far should you decide to stick with the role/job. Like Moro, we're on the same datacenter and it'd be my honour to co-heal with you sometimes. My friends and I run random things regularly and I could definitely introduce you to them if you'd like. That way you don't have to play with strangers 99.9% of the time anymore (nothing wrong with this if this is your preference)

P.S. If you're interested in learning about Astrologian, I'd be more than happy to guide you through the job. I'm not a pro myself, but I have solid understanding about this job and its roles.

Really surprised so many responded to my post back on Page 1 there haha! Read some friendly, helpful advice from some cool people =). I used to be scared of tanking until I just dived in and learned it as I went. I suppose it's only natural to do the same for anything else. I'll have to give Scholar a go since I heard the MP costs got toned down a bit. DPS feels very low stress because I neither lead the entire party nor am the sole responsibility for keeping everyone alive at all times. Yes, DPS are needed just as much but it feels very different from my perspective. I'll just keep queuing on heals and get used to it a little at a time. Maybe someday it'll be a second nature yawn-fest for me haha.

Perhaps being DPS, there's something I find disturbing about having no rotation, so it's like, "...What am I supposed to be doing? Why are these guides so non specific!?" Even tanking I have enmity and damage combos/rotations xD

You picked the right healer at least. Compared to the other two Scholars at least have a bit more to it. You can think about incorporating Dissipation into your DPS which requires some pre-planning on Aetherflow CDs and then you get to weave in Energy Drains with Miasma if you have free stacks to use and providing you keep an eye on your MP. Unfortunately it doesn’t get more involved than that, but at least it goes slightly above the DoT and nuke spam the other healers have to deal with.
