Enemy Debuffs In Current Endgame

[Castanica]

Melee making a skillchain feeds the monster TP, this can lead to all manner of nonense.
Melee takes damage from monster and needs a healer.
Melee need to be babysat from all debuffs etc
Melee can miss.

Scholar needs no healer, scholar feeds very little TP, is out of range of debuffs and attacks. Also they can't miss.

Who would take a melee if they can get a scholar on serious mobs?

Back in the day I was asked to level sam in order to setup skillchains for Nidhogg, Tiamat, sandworm etc You know what I would of 100% been asked to level if this system was in place back then? You know how many melee would of been in my hnmls if a scholar could of setup skillchains?

Everything in this game usually has a plus and a negative, for scholar this is not there. It's all positives.

What I would of done with scholar is make it so that using a scholar to skillchain makes the monster take 20% less damage from the resulting magic bursts, that mean you do less damage but you have an easier fight. Positive and a negative.
