Scholars...why....

[Espers]

Why even que us as healers? we cant do much at level 30. its not until 40 that we can heal properly...all the dungeons have some strong dots that cannot be removed by anything other then a Conj/White mage....


perhaps give us Leeches at 30?

[syntaxlies]

Umm, then don't q as a scholar, q as an arcanist for dps or whm for healing the lower lvl content

[Espers]

Umm, kinda rude~ umm like so lets que as dps and wait hours on end! yeah! plus I enjoy being a healer..wish they would have stated somewhere Scholar would not be useful til 40++ which is hard to get to as a dps. Plus arcanist dps is extremely low...all we really have is dots. Rune and Rune II have the same potency so not even sure why use II..the 10 blind blind? does not seem to do much.

Rolling Eos, I was able to make him/her/it/Sookie main heal while I kept up my normal DPS rotation, with a few back up heals. This lasted until The Sunken Temple....

The only downside I see to Scholar as a healer right now is that it doesn't get Leeches until Lv40, which is beyond stupid. Leeches shouldn't even be an ability anyway, though... Just make Esuna an ability Scholar can carry over... They didn't feel the need to waste an ability giving Scholar its own Cleric Stance, I don't see why the same didn't hold true for Cure and Esuna, though I guess Physick at least gives Black Mage a healing spell, even if that makes absolutely no sense...

At the very least, Leeches needs to do something else besides being a gimper version of Esuna (which gets a 20% chance of being free...), right now though I'd much rather see it replaced with Sacred Prism or something more interesting than a Lv18 ability.

I've done every dungeon so far as Scholar (the first 4-5), and I haven't really had any problems. Toto-Rak or whatever it's called has a really bad poison, but I was able to just spam heal through it with my faerie's help. Maybe it gets harder at level 30, I'm not sure.

[Espers]

Sotek I agree~ Esuna should just carry over. Naaros~ those dungeons I healed as my arcanist they are not hard. its the ones past 30 that are just impossible and the fairy is beyond stupid AI...she does her huge aoe heal that has a 1 min cooldown when she is next to me..doesnt even give me time to move her.

Personally all my dungeon runs have went a lot more smoother with shcolars than white mages those fairies are amazing.

as a scholar.. id have to say that the lvl 30 healing spell we learn is quite impressive... though it takes quite a bit of mana.. it still is not a problem in the least part.. with aetherflow and if u really need to Ethers (dont use any but have like 200) Use ur lvl 30 spell on the tank.. then cast Bio2 and Miasma and right after that Bane* then go back to healing.. thats for healing with aoe dps. BUT if u just focusing healing and the tank cant take every mob i like to put the lvl 30 spell on everyone that way it provides a shield of about 200-500 hp *depending on crit* including myself as i have taken aggro.. as for the fairy sometimes she uses her spells wrong. but I havent had a problem with her AOE heal whatsoever.. it has always hit my whole party.also iv taken to put her heal AND aoe on my hotbar so i can just press it same time im healing someone..

ps.. coming from a ps3 user..

Put the fairy on steady during boss fights, even when she switches to guard she shouldn't use her aoe heal, than you can use it instead of letting the AI deal with it, even than, its better just to place the fairy in the middle of the room so she can get everyone in range, unless they move out, but its pretty far reaching.

So far healed as scholar for haukke manor and brayflox just fine, had a little difficulty in brayflox where my fairy wasn't in range of the tank, so had to really go at it too keep him up, another thing, when your casting spells you can't move or order your fairy to do anything, the whole bar greys out, so best to place her pretty much right away or your gonna struggle if things are getting hairy, or just keybind place to something close.

Titan was a cakewalk, get the level 35 scholar quest out of the way and the aoe heal with the added shield is really helpful, on top of everything else, definitely not impossible, just a little harder until you get leeches.
