[dev1074] Job Adjustments: Scholar

[Fredjan]

• The required charges for the following abilities will be reduced from two to one:
  Altruism / Focalization / Tranquility / Equanimity

Long overdue if you ask me.

Goodbye Stormsurge.

Relic+2 gives a ~20% chance per merit (so 100% with 5/5) of these Stratagems costing one charge currently. After this they can presumably be free of charge. I'll take -50 enmity for free over 7INT any day.

Bet you any money the AF is changed before this update.

Never gonna happen.

Not even in your wildest dreams.

Hey now can't go sayin Relic+2 and all the effect and then say "-50 enmity for free over 7INT" count the relic for Storms too its +12 int with relic+2 boots. not that its really much of a difference but some ppl might find it important

I'd much rather have -50 enmity cures and nukes than the ability to give people +12 (or +6) to stats.

I have -50 enmity cures already (or close to it), but with fully meritted -enmity strat though you could have -75% enmity cures (because strats stack multiplicatively with gear -enmity.

I knew that. Regardless my point remains the same.

That's true, but looking at it from another perspective you could avoid swapping into -enmity gear, using better gear for other purposes (more damage/potency/whatever) and gaining lots of precious inventory slots.

But anyway this talk is moot, I seriously doubt they're gonna give us free stratagems.

Relic+2 is fairly recent and these Stratagems costing 1 charge is one of the oldest and most frequently suggested adjustment around. I highly doubt they'd implement Relic+2 as a means of making these cost 1 charge and then turn around the next update and decide to drop them down to 1 charge anyway; they'd have just made the Relic+2 enhancement -2 enmity per merit like the rest.

Granted this is SE, but unless a community rep pops in and says they're changing the Relic+2 I doubt they will. This wouldn't be the first time SE ends up doing a follow-up update after doing something like this in any case, considering it's 100% related they would put the Relic+2 adjustment in this note as well.

It's not like they'll cost no Stratagems at all either, going 5/5 is the only way that would be accomplished and I doubt many people will do that and you certainly can't do it for all of them. It would finally make these merits useful and worth some contemplation though.
