Common Non-Scholar Misconceptions

[Pebe]

I am kind of glad they are giving away sch's helixs for the proc system. I love voidwatch, however, I also hate voidwatch when I'm on blu or sch. I'm going to ignore the blu part because that is for a different thread. The reason I hate being sch to voidwatch is that usually when you a bring a sch, you assign them the T2-T5 nukes and the helixs, and the blms do the other procs. Now the problem arises when you coming to scholar's casting speed. By the time you finish T2-T5 and helix (unless the monster is being stupid with only blue procs), the next 3+ elements weaknesses are already called out. So you are just spamming T2-T5 and helix nukes without any time to do anything else. On most voidwatches, especially the lower tier/voidwatch part1 mobs, when I proc I nuke in a refresh/fastcast/enmity- idle set. Because the goal is to proc fast, without pulling hate and wiping the backline(our main blm has done this soooo many times). So not only do I not get to use the full abilities of my sch, Buffs, healing, enhancing and all that jazz to its full potential, my nuking isn't really doing much besides proccing. Although, I might toss an ebullience on the T5 and T4 nukes, but it is usually just parsimony. The only time I enjoy playing sch in voidwatch is when I'm main healing in light arts mode and only have to worry about the helixes. Tossing out a helix in light arts isn't that bad for your mp. Bleh I rambled on enough, I'll end with this...

DIAF Modus Veritas! DIAF!

Edit: I forgot something I wanted to talk about. I think SCH could actually surpass BLM in the terms of resistance rates, although you would sacrifice efficieny and it take everything the SCH had. Klimaform and Focalization come to mind. Two amazing abilities when used right. They were hard to use at 75 due to stratedgem limitations, but much easier now. If you alcritied all your klimaforms, you keep klimaform up the majority of the time. If you had extra stratedgems you were also nice enough to do manifestation alacrity klimaform combo to the blm party(This would hinder the amount of time you could have klimaform up, but give the blm party a good chunk of time with very accurate nuking, which in and of itself is AMAZING). Moving onto focalization, I personally merited it 5/5. With focalization and klimaform it was a pretty much gunarenteed unresisted nuke, unless you got REALLY unlucky and that 5% chance at resisting kicked in. I see the focalization klimaform combo as a SCH version of BLM's elemental seal. I really do love focalization. Although, nothing will help you land dispel on Pil, NOTHING! Had around 440 enfeebling (or whatever it caps at with gear, I'm missing about 15 skill in gear) with klimaform and focalization and voidstorm and dark threnody on the mob with astetics tonic up...... /sigh, let me stop getting off track.
