Scholars...why....

[Shiyo]

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?

Your tank/DPS are bad or you're doing something wrong if you're incapable of healing at level30-40. My fairy could almost keep tanks alive by itself in haukke manor, I only had to heal on some pulls.

[Wazabi]

Don't blame the class...just ran Brayflox and Navel as scholor...below lv35. No problem with their healing capabilities.

[Kougeru]

What? I've healed every dungeon up to 50 with no real issue with the skills I had. Your tank is either pulling too much or you're playing your class very wrong some how.

[Gawan]

The SCH is fine in terms of healing. Due to my own stupidity and hardcore grind I kind of forgot to do my classquest from 30 to 45. Dont ask why, but yes I did. Even though I missed some rather very helpful healingspell. I still did fine in the dungeons up to lvl 45, when I realized my mistake and got the missing spells. So dont say they are useless, cause they are not since I did fine with very little tools at hand.

Haha you are funny dude,

Scholars heal are over the edge atm, and CAN'T go oom.

[Belzeboss9]

Can you explain how you healed Brayflox? I spammed heals like crazy, but the tank taked too much dmg X.x I saw a posion on tank, but couldn dispell it...

Also, my Fairy mmm dunno if she is healing right. I target someone press the healing skill but she heals herself.

Eh, not to be rude, but what was the difficulty on brayflox? Poison status effects never were anything that couldn't be healed through. Once we figured out how to limit the poison spread by standing near current piles, it was easy. With regard to the tank taking damage, I think thats a bit of a server issue for the moment. The red ground effects were/are really hard to dodge if your lag is bad

My sister is new to mmos and on PS3 (even more lagged), so she often eats the area effect spells. Even considering this, everything up to and including dzemail darkhold has been done in under 3 party wipeouts (exception being that 2nd trial on the mesa). If people are taking too much damage, it is not your problem, it is theirs. They need to learn the mechanics. If you are stretched thing enough that you are running out of mana as a scholar or cannot keep up with heals, then you are carrying too much of the baggage. Works with the lower dungeons, but the higher ones are less forgiving.

Had no issue healing the first few dungeons (up to Qarn) for friends. Toto-rak I basically afk'd through letting the fairy do most of the work. Haukke was similar. Brayflox at least kept me awake. Qarn wasn't real bad.

Level 37 SCH here:

After leveling an ACN from 1 - 30 I was ecstatic to finally get a healer pet, not only did it alleviate my Physick spam heals but it also provided me with a lot of room to DPS while "healing". While do agree that the pet AI is god awful I still stand by the fact that SCH heals are quite good. Once you get the hang of your pet, as well as when it will throw heals out (when a target has lost 20% of their max hp the fairy will toss a heal to them), SCH healing becomes rather easy. Sometimes if a tank is good/geared enough I won't even have to throw heals out - I'll just use my 3 DoTs and then spread them with Bane.

If I had the choice to pick between a SCH and a WHM I'd choose a SCH anyday. I'm a big fan of the mana returns that SCHs have access to as well as the fairy and the DPS potential that it provides to the user.

My only complaint about Scholar heals is that, according to my higher level friends, level 30 is when they really start to turn up the difficulty of dungeons. Yet those are the dungeons I'm learning to heal on, since its the first time I can queue as a healer. So I know I've caused a fair amount of wipes experimenting with macros and faerie control methods. Oops.
