Thread: Concise Scholar 4.0 feedback

Adloquium - Lower the MP cost by at least 10 - 20%
Succor - Lower the MP cost by at least 10 - 20%, Increase healing potency to 300 (this will give us something similar to a Medica II or Cure III when used with Emergency tactics)
Sacred Soil - Either increase the damage reduction to 25% and remove the cost of an aether stack or add a regen effect to the bubble. As it is now, the cost does not justify using it.
Bane - Add the 15% chance for Bio and Miasma's timer to be reset back in and cap the lowering of potency at 40% for the third, forth and all remaining enemies.
*We need an AOE just like the other 2 healers, we had Miasma II, add it back in or give us something else
Shadow Flare - Shorten recast timer to 30 seconds
Excogitation - Increase potency from 650 up to 800, remove the duration timer
Dissipation - Have our Fairy return after dissipation has ended automatically. Increase potency to 30%... If Dissipation is used with a full Fairy gauge then a high potency AOE heal should go off, similar to how Stellar Detonation works for AST, the heal potency for full gauge should be 720 and go down X % for every % missing all the way down to 500 for the minimum needed for this ability to work. The radius should be 30 yalms as well.
Eye for an Eye Trait - Can't remember what it was called, but the trait that shortened the recast timer of eye for an eye from 180 s to 120 s for SCH needs to be added back in, reason being we have an ability that is directly tied into Eye for an eye, no other healers have this ability (Deployment Tactics) Yet they are on separate cool down timers.
Deployment Tactics - Increase Radius to 15 y , As it is now, everyone literally has to stack ontop of one another to have any chance of hitting them.
Chain Strategem - Increase duration to 30 seconds

As for our Fairy's

Embrace - Return potency to 300
Fey Illumination (Eos) - Return potency to 20 %
Fey Union - Increase healing potency to 550 and range to 30 yalms

Sustain - Add back in

These suggestions are simple and to the point, they are to help bring us in line with the other 2 healers. Quite honestly, even with these changes in place we would still be in 3rd place, but not a distant 3rd. As it is now, WHM and AST are both meta, we are lasta. This is by no means comprehensive, but as an active long time Scholar, I believe they are a good start.

Yes and yes, I like it. The damage our fairies take these days is way to high. Increase to their defense along with giving us back Sustain would be a good start.

Shadow Flare - Shorten recast timer to 30 seconds

Full uptime? Not gonna happen.

Excogitation - Increase potency from 650 up to 800, remove the duration timer

Agreed on the first part but not the infinite duration. I dont want the new Savage meta. to be a 3 minute prepull for 3 cooldowns of Aetherflow so the SCH can Excog everyone in the party before a pull.

Embrace - Return potency to 300

They nerfed Embrace because 2.x and 3.x SCH were pretty strong and could DPS nearly fulltime while relying on fairy for heals in dungeons.

Fey Illumination (Eos) - Return potency to 20 %

They gave us Largesse, a 20% healing potency buff with a shorter recast than Fey Illumination, so in return they nerfed Illumination. Having both at full power is overpowered.

Instead of excog having no duration I think it would be more reasonable to have it go off at the end of the timer, instead of it just disappearing.

For fairy I am actually not too bothered by the potencies, in exchange I would like to see Selene skills revamped, and Fey Union adjusted. Would also like to add a fairy mode where fairy will ONLY cast embrace when commanded to

/prepares shield to avoid flame comments
/shot down anyway because it wasn't a critdlo

And, yes, I would like some more aoe. I'm okay with not having a spammable one, having miasma II back would make me quite happy to be honest :P Shadow Flare has a slow effect, and miasma II also had secondary effect, which would be nice as we can no longer have Shadow Flare 100% uptime.
