Scholar Has lost it's ability to be useful, please fix this.

i will punch random people in the face if they nerf embrava

[Mirage]

Sure. You could start with those who made embrava required to clear certain events in the first place.

As a result we would like to make it so summoner and scholar can widen their range of play and usefulness via other elements. We understand that these adjustments might be somewhat of an inconvenience, but we appreciate your understanding.

I fucking love this new guy, and I was this close to finally quiting, god damn it.

$?@*&'in balance grasshopper! Balance.... Lol

You're reading it wrong, they're nerfing Embrava and improving the actual aspects of the job. Rather than being wanted for a single spell, SCH has the chance to be wanted for what the actual job is. Rather then the developers sidelining any work on SCH because we have Embrava, they're actually going to work on SCH.

i dont think i am you dont have to take something way to improve other crappy parts. i for one have no issue with the way scholar is except enlightenment, that ja should let you access any spells without any other stratagems being used

If they don't nerf Embrava, they can easily justify never touching SCH again. We have Embrava, we're automatically invited to everything, giving the job anything else would just be overpowered.

Their logic for nerfing Embrava and Perfect Defense is solid, such an adjustment is long overdue, 2Hrs like this are just awful for game balance. Like it or not they're nerfing them, the good news is that they're going to focus on giving the jobs something in compensation. You can disagree with their, and my logic over the need to nerf Embrava, but they're hardly going to make the job less useful when they're going to be focusing their attention on it.

Also, SCH is fine except for Enlightenment? What about Modus Veritas, Libra and several of the Stratagems being down right worthless? I'll admit though, the job is pretty much fine, it works as what it was designed as, a support job. The issue is endgame content is absolute trash, something they also intent to adjust.

[Ezikiel]

ah i get it now nerf something useful to pay more attetion to the job makes perfect sense now

[Nawesemo]

The idea of Sch is flawed for this game, if you want a Whm, you take a whm, if you want a blm you take a blm (or a sch)..... The idea that a job would be chosen over their dedicated couterparts to fill in is goofy, ..... Along with 1/2 the other jobs, the schs who main the job know their strengths and weaknesses, but they make it work, Sch's embrava spotted them into spots , the adjustments to Whm (cure skin, massive addition to cure potency gear), Blm- better efficiency, aspir 2, aja's /rdm /Sch killed a lot of the reasons a sch could function better than either at their respective arts..... Sch shouldn't have bulldogged Whm out of whms job, nor blms, but they did, and now the schs want to cry injustice...... Least that's my take, it is what it is, blms been living that for a while, put the big boy pants on and suck it up.... But yeah, s.e giving new toys to compensate for something that maybe was a bit rediculous to begin with..... Meh, well see it when we see it,..... But sch is just as useful as ever imo. Just not better at things than the masters of the respective arts.
