Scholar... SAY WHUT?

[Volker_Mateus]

From what I understand is ACN is debuff and summon... Scholar is healer nuker they could have told us the job but not released what class it comes from. I'm betting oracle or sage is its class and there are alot of names for books they don't have to all be grimiores. THM and CNJ weapons are all a different weapon type but are similar. Yoshi also said that there will be a new healer type class and job ACN isn't going to heal.

That's sort of my thinking too. With Arcanist as a DoT/debuff specialist, there's not much room to make a true um... "bimagical" job like SCH traditionally is, even if the handful of job abilities it gets are all heals/buffs. It's one of the main reasons I'm leaning towards exactly what you said -- that we'll see "grimoires" on Arcanists and Summoners while Scholars might wield "tomes" instead. Their class could range anywhere from an oracle/sage type focusing purely on the magical aspects of the job to a tactician/arithmetician type with an emphasis on things like sensory magic.
