Scholar has the worst design of any job in the game, and here's why.

[FusionSamurai]

The last gripe I have about SCH's design comes from Galvanize. My issue is that when you get a critical Adloquium, it applies Galvanize and Catalyze, both equal to 125% the amount healed. It is really cool because you can force a critical Adlo with Recitation! The issue is that if your target gets hit, the part that you can deploy is chipped FIRST. So, if you wanted to Adlo the main tank, you can't deploy the Galvanize because it gets chipped first by the autos. WHY??? Actually why is this design allowed?

How did this job ever get past playtesting? It feels awful. It feels like the job design team don't play it, and have no idea what to do with it, and it really shows. It has made my favorite job in the game infinitely worse to play. I can tell I'm not alone, as most of these sentiments have been echoed by other long term Scholar mains that I know. I'm looking forward to playing Sage instead next expansion. Even if it is numerically a worse job, I won't have to deal with the layers and layers of awful pet clunk that this dumpster fire of a job has.

This sentiment pretty much sums up healers for the past few years / expansions.
