[dev1024] New SCH Spells

[SpankWustler]

I definitely think that changes to two hours for certain jobs could even be implemented by a job trait you get at a certain level if SE absolutely had to implement them this way. For example, THF could dodge ranged attacks and get increased magic evasion (more resist rates) while under the effects of Perfect Dodge at level 95. Or White Mage could have a 100% chance to remove Doom with Benediction at level 99. I think every job could use a boost to two hours by 99.

I'd like to think that the development team is looking at all of the the 2-hour abilities one-by-one and updating the less useful ones, since Eagle Eye Shot, Familiar, and some of the other 2-hour abilities that were disappointing even at 75 have been mentioned.

Of course, I'm probably wrong and the development team is currently hard at work building a box fort using the surplus of cardboard that came in along with the Final Fantasy XIV team's new office chairs. This kind of saddens me because Camate and Bayonne won't get to play in the epic fort due to being in a North American office.

Or this could be a piece of gear. A throw slot piece that gives day/weather: Fast Cast +10% and MAB+2 would be a solid piece, or if SE really loves us, when they finally give a quest to combine all the elemental obi into one, it will become a higher level item that also has fast cast for corresponding day/weather. Spells that are always affected by the weather should get an even greater bonus to the fast cast given by such an effect.

Additionally, perhaps a piece of gear that makes Rapture give an additional effect of Regen when used with cure spells?

I normally love adding stuff through equipment, like a protuberance kind of love, but Scholar already has a lot of equipment that's only useful during one job ability or spell. Eventually, I'm afraid a good Scholar will be stuck with nothing but 8 weather obis and 72 pieces of very situational equipment.

It does go with the theme of the job, though, and those pieces of equipment are always amazing in those situations. So I guess this kind of addition would have some good and some bad.
