Although I've been on the record since the implementation that I love Embrava, I wouldn't mind a nerf as long as other adjustments still allow me to play SCH as much as I do now. My problem is the 76-99 stretch pre-Embrava was pure awful as an attempt to give SCHs something unique and useful. With that history, I'm not optimistic about the future SCH popularity. Maybe the new producer will do it right, who knows.

My fear is that there's going to be a lot of praise for the science of game design and balance that takes the Embrava requirement out of the picture, but the only important reality for me will that I end up never using SCH again. I'd just cancel until GEO rather than slum it on BLM or WHM every night again.

This is my concern. All the schs who are talking about nerf embrava, must have forgotten what it was like during the abyssea days when sch was straight up useless. At 75 we didn't even have haste. Added to the fact that SE gives us things like libra, enmity spells that are "too powerful" to stack with our -enm strats, and 1 tic regain that can't even stack with monarchs, I'm extremely skeptical of sch being invited if they don't get something unique and useful. I would rather be only invited because of Tabula Rasa, than never invited to play sch at all.

Why would they nerf a spell to power-up another spell!?

It wouldn't be balance to remove it from a 1 hour~30 minute JA spell and put it on a "at all times" spell, or at least not SE balance.

Actually the spell adloquium is really bad. It's 1 tp regain, and doesn't stack. Its worthless. I have corsair and I usually only use tp roll during breaks , pops etc, but I am not going to let anything less than 3 tp/tick ride. With the navarch frac +2 it gives an additional 1 tp to every roll as well. I think adloquium should be increased and would not hurt balance.

Its current fixed potency of 1tp/tick is the issue. I would like to see them have it scale with enhancing magic to a cap of ~5 or so (depending on how powerful Embrava ends up being).

my point isn't that the spell isn't weak, it's simply that nerfing a spell that is on 1 hour~30 minutes to add it to a spell available at all time wouldn't make sense when used with the argument "Balance".
