I'm posting this in the general discussion because I feel it doesn't just involve SCH (Mostly SCH and WHM, and RDM a little, but technically everyone since they'll benefit from it), but also because other players don't regularly visit the SCH forums and I'd like as many people to comment on this as possible.
I want to suggest to the devs to re-examine allowing Haste to work with the Scholar Stratagem "Accession". Even when the level cap was bumped up to 80, I never agreed with them leaving out this spell since I couldn't think of any real reason for it. The only thing I could think of at the time was SMN and Garuda having "Hastega" and by allowing Haste + Accession to work it'd take away some advantage SMN had, and this is pretty ridiculous since nobody brings SMN for Hasting a group. Other reason could've been they saw how excited people were getting about being able to AoE Haste at Lv80 and just pre-nerfed it... Just in case we knew something they didn't. I dunno.
But now in modern FF11, we have stuff like Haste II, and SMN has Hastega II. Even if the devs were using SMN and Hastega as an excuse before, it certainly doesn't exist now. Allowing SCHs and WHM/schs to AoE Haste would just be a welcome convenience, nothing game breaking. It'd especially be nice since so many mobs have AoE dispel moves that remove darn near everything... It'd make reapplying stuff a little less stressful too. Battles are faster paced than they used to be too, and squeezing in Haste on everyone while main healing can be extremely annoying.
For those who may not know, this wouldn't effect RDM's Haste II spell since the usual rule for Accession (Minus Haste) is that if SCH main cannot access the spell (Through it's own spell line or support job), then it doesn't work with Accession. So Haste II and Flurry II would not work, while their lower level counterparts would.
Again, I have to ask the devs... Can we really not have Accessionable Hastes? And if the answer is still no, may we at the very least get an explanation as to why? It's a mystery that's been bothering me since Lv80 cap was introduced, and with the game winding down I'd really like to hear something about it before the end.
