After wiping over 100 times on Demon Wall in AK due to lack of healing potency I started to wonder if maybe, just maybe, Scholar is an abortion of a class that needs at least a 2-3x potency buff to even be on par with WHM, so I tried on a friend's WHM; lo and behold, everything that was once insanely difficult, absurdly difficult, retardedly difficult, was suddenly doable with my eyes closed. With a much higher gear level, I couldn't even heal for Aurum Vale on SCH, much less AK or Wanderer's; on WHM, I can heal for every piece of content I've run into thusfar without giving myself carpal tunnel, because you need an APM of a 47658268263 just to make SCH semi-mediocre. Why do they do this, why. Why do they put clearly unbalanced classes in a game that is supposed to be complete, because every fucking game I've ever played, I've found THAT CLASS. Without fail, every single time. Luckily, grinding in this game is easy, so I'll just roll WHM and have it 50 by the end of the weekend, still frustrating how much time I wasted on a worthless class though.

That section may help you. SCH is a good class, their barriers and damage mitigation are pretty amazing.
