The facts are that SCH has to give away 150 potency for every heal that isnt recitation and whm / astro do not WHM loses 300 for each set of lilys they use but in some fights that can even be a gain if theres multiple targets OR downtime. On top of glare / dia being insane. ASTRO doesnt lose ANYTHING to weave healing. SCH's tank healing is abysmal now and their mitigation is SUBPAR compared to astro.
So...

- What are your data exactly ? I'm curious
- What you're saying is that Scholar has to trade its DPS for healing. How does that make his healing toolkit less valuable ? He always had to trade Energy Drain for a healing ability, that's not new.

If Scholar seems to slowly fall behind, that's not because of its healing toolkit, but its pDPS and rDPS. And Energy drain will not close the gap.
Ast rDPS depending on party can be close to WHM's one or even superior. Their rDPS combined seems sto have more potential than paired with a SCH.

I'm waiting for these data.
