A summary of healer issues

[Liam_Harper]

Additionally, Yoshida-san described a scenario where White Mage and Scholar are paired up to heal. Scholar is primarily a barrier healer and lacks the ability to cure to the extent that a White Mage can. As a result, the White Mage is stuck doing most of the heals while the Scholar can DPS away.

It's impressive how many things are wrong in that one statement.

Maybe don't isolate it from the rest of the article.

To clarify, I doubt he was talking about any live server speedruns, and more about testing in house. "A scenario" means anything, and there's nothing factually wrong about what he said.

In a scenario where damage intake can challenge the white mage kit in Stormblood, the scholar isn't going to be healing with them.

They're going to be using broil, because Succor was a horrible heal.

While it might seem like God Kefka is a good metric to use given its healing check, it's not. Speedruns are not only at max gear, God Kefka was still initially tuned to be cleared without a white mage, because not every raid composition was going to have one.
