Job Adjustments manifesto Discussion

[Horadrim]

Considering Scholar is arguably one of the least useful and fundamentally flawed jobs in the entire game right now, I dare say the attention is warranted. And I don't even have Scholar leveled outside of Subjob level =/.

There isn't a single mage class in the game that has to worry about being "outshined" by Scholar. Not White Mage, not Black Mage, and certainly not Red Mage. Get over it.

Inb4 crying about Drk, Smn, Bst, Pup, Smn, and Smn etc

The only job in worse condition than SCH is PUP, but even PUP has the luxury of having something unique to offer. (Even if it requires you to make some weird and frustrating choices).

SCH is in miserable condition. As a side note, SCH and PUP were my two main jobs pre-Abyssea.

You know what? I'll be that guy who complains about Merton.

I made a thread already, but I'll post it here as well because this should be addressed.

There are some striking similarities to what this spell does and what the Summoner 2-hour Odin does. Both are able to hit a large amount of enemies and both are capable of doing incredibly large amounts of damage. That's where the similarities end. While this spell seems to be able to take out 10 mobs out of 11. That's some pretty amazing accuracy. Odin? Odin's lucky if we can hit 5.

It's fine and all to give SCH some more tools. SCH needs something to set it apart from the other mage jobs. But if you are going to give SCH something that is almost exactly the same as Odin, why not allow us SMN to have the same accuracy? I highly doubt the SCH has to use all of their MP to do that attack. SMN does, and they get roughly half the effect.

Odin is a joke. Please throw us a bone here. At least be fair about it. And please don't give me flack that "The SCH spell doesn't kill mobs, it only damages them, while Odin can flat out kill mobs." If it misses more than it bloody hits, then it's not even worth it. An all or nothing attack that more often than not does nothing is worthless. At least make the % to hit chance based on SMN skill or something. Come on.

Give a man a free cupcake and he'll complain that you didn't use the right sprinkles...

You're complaining about the bonus Avatars that you probably wouldn't have gotten say for whining about wanting more... You have 9 other Avatars who all have tons of mileage and use, and you're complaining about a single ruffled feather in your beret. Let's forget the fact that you're also getting two more avatars...

i agree with you there smn do need some kind of buff (aways did anyway),but i think this new spell should do around 1k dot its pretty overpower lol, if you take into acount that they are killing normal abyssea mobs (witch have around 5-6k hp) the initial damage alone did about 80%-90% of the scorpion health so it would have been around 3-4k initial damage and assuming the monster died in pretty much 2 ticks from dot, i highly doubt that its only 200 hp. i might be wrong on that one but its just my guess anyway its pretty overpower but since its limited to 2hrs it kinda feels right i dunno lol

Take into account that character is wearing 100% of the best gear for SCH, and the fact that a BLM in the same position could probably one shot that same mob...?

No, I don't think its overpowered at all...
