Thread: Feedback on 4.0 Scholar

I'm a whm main but I do play sch as well and I was shocked by the MP issues that the sch has now. Sch was always the class that was able to handle this the best. I was never focused on accuracy and instead aimed at spell speed and crit and sch feels so much weaker than they were. I used to feel that content I tackled with my whm was slightly easier on sch, but now I can destroy things on whm and sch struggles. They over nerfed this Job.

I'm doing this only with whm and I feel the same thing. v_v It really is sad how weak sch feels/is now.

Mana until this point isnt really a thing for me as a scholar. But,im just playing dungeons and stuff. So cant say anything about the Ex-Primals or so. But i did notice if i run out of aetherflow stacks i have trouble keeping tanks alive,as i can only spam physicks...which doesnt help much when the dmg on the tank is higher than my healoutput in those Seconds while i cast the skills. Slowly the tank normally loses health,even if i spam physics. Would be nice if we had something that doesnt require Aetherflow,thats able keeping tanks alive for a longer time. The shieldheal,which in my opinion is the mechanic of Sch isnt really worth it, the shield and heal of this skill is to weak for 3 times the mana costs of the normal heal. So im using it very rarely. All in all im very dissapointed in the Scholar. Rerolled to it after i read about the Whm changes,just to get stuck with a even worse performing healing class.

MP issues are blinding obvious to me even at 70. It's hard to miss that one IMO.

Replace Chain Stratagem with Fey energy- gives 10% mp to a party member 30 second cd.
Sacred soil 2 20% damage reduction for 20-30 seconds for mp NOT aetherflow.
Dissipation for Magic dust- buff party defense by 20% for 30s. Aetherflow is fine here

Some of those are a bit overkill. Just reverting the cost to Adlo and the nerf to Embrace would pull us back up a bit. Though I'd really prefer if the Fairy Gauge (when full and unused) gave the fairy a small shield mitigation buff (maybe 5% of your max HP, lasts 10 seconds and stackable with Galvanize of course) on an ally everytime she healed them.
