[dev1114] Job Adjustments: Scholar

[Jamesy]

I'm honestly not upset about this as much as this is all we are getting an adjustment.
I mean come on square enix why the hell are we getting the short end of the stick?
3 spells that are a job specific joke adloquium and the animus.
2 spells that require two hour. oh thanks because i want to wait 2 hours to do something useful.


at this moment id rather hear us getting another useless spell then see an adjustment, because maybe it'd be something to look forward to.

These adjustments are only for the Group 2 merits with -recast as additional merits, there is no reason to expect additional adjustments along side it to be honest. The new additional effect being crap is the only thing to be upset with here.

That said, the road map has "Job Specific Merit Category Expansion" on it, which I assume to be Group 3 merits. No that I have much hope those will be any better, Scholars merits are quite literally just expansions of the MP/Attributes/Other/Magic Skills merit categories, rather than expansions of the actual job. If they went with any of the suggestions from here for Group 3 merits (of which there are plenty) I'd be amazed. I fully expect an ability version of Aquafail for one of our new merits.

The rest of the year looks pretty bleak for Scholar to be honest. A new 2Hr for all jobs which will most likely just marginalize our current one, 2Hr merits are probably laughable and Group 3 merits. Tweaks based on play feedback could be a possibility for something but if "Modus Veritas doesn't fucking work you ignorant pricks" hasn't gotten through yet, I have no hope it ever will. Maybe I'm just not being optimistic enough though, given the amazing history SE has in this department.
