A meaningful decision is only possible after some major overhauls and additions.

Scholar:
Rework Dissipation, the job gauge and make seraph an actual upgrade to the fairy. Physick, Aldo and Succor on oGCD as pure shields, please. Interactive DPS rotation and remove old and ugly-looking spells or upgrade their visuals. Thank you!

White mage:
Spiritual Ray, Tornado, Flood, Water III and a channel spell that is causing an earthquake. Remove the pointless abilities please, the cure tree is better of deleted together with the medica one and instead give more water-based healing oGCDs. One for ST and one for AoE regen and make the job gauge interact with the whole kit. Fire is part of nature so I think they should expand on the lore(not that I have read it but I am assuming there is a reason why we never had fire spells), ditch the white fluff and make us feel like real nature mages. Conjurer is not a synonym for cleric or a healing bot. It is more closely related to sorcerer and wizard. If they want us to feel like white mages they could give us some ultimate light-based abilities, that we can use to heal or attack while we are in some trance. Thank you!
