    Sure, SCH needs work, and it not getting any love is upsetting, but to just.. ask for no new jobs when that is a major draw to expansions is just silly...
    What archetype? Regen vs Shields? Because Sage (a "shield" healer) has more Regens in it's kit than actual Shields.

    I know SCH only has 2 Shields (and 1 pet shield) but that just shows the whole Regen / Shield dichtotomy is bullsh!t.

    It has no basis in the actual gameplay.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    This is a good point. Right now you can play scholar as a pure healer other than when Seraph is out and I personally do because using shields means spending a GCD on something other than damage.

    Since we were told Scholar didn't really need any changes, it means these "shield healers" can continue to be played as pure healers if we prefer.

    Or it's entirely possible that some of the kit changed and they just didn't talk about it? Who knows...
