I've seen scholars pull out their fairy and set follow on a dps, and then do nothing...
SCH fairies are tuned so high that SCHs can play green DPS in low level dungeons. You can basically pretend you're an arcanist again and it make no difference.
In fact, players like that are why the fairies got slammed with the nerf bat in 4.0.
The problem is especially lazy ones will try this in higher level content, to the pain and suffering of the party.
I ran out into a SCH that was doing this in a low level dungeon.
I asked them nicely if they could actually play so that the dungeon would go faster for everyone, but they got cheeky about it, so I kicked them.
Healing in general is tuned really high in the lower level dungeons. I honestly prefer to go SCH when I do Mentor Roulette since I usually end up healing Dungeons or Guildhests. If I get a lowbie duty you better believe I'll let Eos do all the healing so I can DPS and get us out of there that much faster.
I think the super high potency of healing at low levels trains healers to be "bot-like"- hardly any attention is required, just cast your heals now and then and everything will (probably) be k. Obviously things change as levels go up but when all the game requires of you is to spam a button or two to do your job in most scenarios, some people will naturally take the easy way out.
