Scholar: Returning to Roots

[DBriggs304]

What is the issue with SCH? Genuine question. I have an alt and played sch for the first time and am currently level 54 I think.

Their healing output doesnt seem that great. Am I doing something wrong? I feel like I couldn't heal tissue paper...

What has changed since they were..."good" I guess.

I think it's important to note that the healers aren't necessarily "unfun" at the moment. The thing is though is that they used to be a lot more fun. For scholar, it comes with them having their DoTs culled from 5 down to 3 before reverting it to 4 in SB, and now down to 1 and we've lost the ability to spread that where we used to be able to spread 4 of the original 5 to nearby enemies. Additionally, Selene and Eos used to have different tools. Not all of these things are just "perfect," but the point is that Shadowbringers reduced the individuality of the healers to try and balance them/make them more approachable. That's not a bad thing to want of course, but the way that it was done just hurt the jobs for those of us that were playing healers already. White Mage is actually an exception as it's a bit better than what it was in Stormblood, though some do still miss Aero 3
