More "Active" Healing Class

[MicahZerrshia]

XI kindda had this in the form of Scholar

played correctly sch could switch from heals to nukes, buff and debuff, spread one target spells to multiple targes and give stat bonuses. Granted there were no items uses like ppl have been suggesting but sch imo was the most active and versitile mage in xi. I think the only reason it gets the poopoo from players is because it was also one of the more complicated and gear heavy jobs, which also made it more exciting and prevented boredom from seeping in too much. I loved sch and would love to see it reappear xiv style

More than a "versatile" mage, what I'm after is one that can actually run into the battle and needs to use a variety of spells at the spur of the moment. I agree that Scholar could be one of the most fun classes because they used so many different skills, but in the end it was the same thing in every situation, and still from a distance. ^^; Scholar was definitely a step in the right direction.
