I think there will be some changes to the job, they just didn't mention them.

What we do know is, that the aoe will get a secondary effect (nice), Scholar will get an in-combat run speed buff (might be pretty awesome for certain kinds of content), healers will all get single target buffs added to their repertoire, and nukes will have shorter casting times.

All that sounds pretty good to me.

The reason people complain is, these aren't the sort of changes they wanted, and the tone around here can be melodramatic.
