G-give it Back T---T; !! (Scholar Edition)

Sorry to steal the thread concept, but I think this needs to be said:

Give them back Yoshida.

Scholar KINDA still has Bane but only in PvP. You put your DoT on someone and then use Emergency Tactics on them.

[Threneras]

Ladies and gentlemen, adventurers of Eorzea, I implore you to strap in and brace yourselves for a titanic tirade that's going to span more words than a Chocobo can sprint in an hour. We're diving headfirst into the depths of the debate about whether Scholar's Miasma and Miasma II should ever grace our healers' spellbooks, and let me tell you right now – they should ABSOLUTELY NEVER make a comeback! Why, you ask? Because HEALERS, my friends, are here to HEAL, and it's time we shouted this from the highest peaks of Coerthas!

So, grab your comfy chairs, prepare some snacks, and ensure you have plenty of caffeinated beverages on standby because we're about to embark on an epic journey through a labyrinthine argument that'll leave no stone unturned, no argument unaddressed, and no doubt that Scholar's Miasma and Miasma II DON'T BELONG in our healer repertoire! Buckle up, folks – it's going to be a wild ride!

Chapter 1: The Healer's Solemn Vow – To HEAL and HEAL ONLY!

First things first, let's establish a fundamental principle that should be as ingrained in every healer's soul as a Lalafell's love for pom-poms – HEALERS ARE HERE TO HEAL! We're not some sort of DPS hybrid that can gallivant around dealing damage one moment and healing the next. No, our primary mission, nay, our SACRED OATH, is to ensure the well-being, the very survival of our party members, come what may!

Chapter 2: The Delusion of Variety – Scholar's Already Got It All!

Now, I've heard the arguments. I've seen the fervent pleas of those who want to bring back Miasma and Miasma II, and they claim it's all about VARIETY. They want Scholars to have a cornucopia of abilities, to feel like true masters of arcane arts. But hold on a moment, adventurer! Before you go dancing with the idea, let's take a stroll through the Scholar's spellbook, shall we?

Scholar's toolkit is like a treasure trove of healing goodness. We've got healing spell s, shields, utility abilities – it's a smorgasbord of magic at our fingertips. Do we truly need Miasma and Miasma II cluttering up the place? I think not!

Chapter 3: The Anecdotal Odyssey – Disasters Unleashed by Miasma and Miasma II!

Let me regale you with tales of calamity, my fellow adventurers, anecdotes that will chill your bones and make you think twice about ever wishing for the return of Miasma and Miasma II. Picture this: a harrowing raid battle where your party teeters on the edge of oblivion. The tank's HP is plummeting faster than a meteor falling from the heavens, and your DPS are tap-dancing on the brink of death.

In this CRUCIAL MOMENT, what would you do? Would you CAST Miasma and Miasma II, or would you FOCUS on saving your party's collective butt by spamming heals, shields, and whatever else it takes to keep 'em breathing? That's right, you'd be doing everything in your power to ensure your party survives! Casting Miasma and Miasma II? That's a one-way ticket to WIPE CITY!

Chapter 4: The Infamous Cast Time – Slower Than a Snail's Slumber!

And let's not even get started on Miasma's CAST TIME – it's SLOWER than a snail on a leisurely stroll through the Shroud. In the time it takes to cast that spell, you could've saved your tank from turning into a crispy Lalafell. We're talking about fractions of a second that can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Priorities, people, PRIORITIES!

Chapter 5: The Fantasy vs. Functionality Conundrum – What Matters Most?

I get it; some folks want to feel like all-powerful wizards, flinging spells left and right. They want the FANTASY of being a master of arcane arts. But here's the deal – HEALERS AREN'T DPS MACHINES. We have a CRUCIAL ROLE to play, and that's to KEEP OUR PARTY ALIVE, NOT just look cool throwing damage spells.

In conclusion, I'm not mincing words here – Miasma and Miasma II have NO place in a healer's toolkit. Our focus should be on HEALING, keeping our party alive, and making sure we all survive to tell the tale. So, let's put the Miasmas to rest and get back to what we do best – SAVING LIVES!

Obviously making a parody of someone else is going to net a ban at some point. Not going to say it will be quick but it will happen.

Selene's haste buff....

Selene's haste buff....

None of the DPS want Attack Speed though, not externally though. While I'd like to see Selene return, I'd make it a choice between healing and utility, not healing and attack buffs, because attack buffs is the better choice 95% of the time.

I'm a filthy spell speed blm and I loved it!

Skill/Spell Speed is fine on some jobs, but even then, the amount you want is built into your build.
