Please consider these, at least as concepts to consider whenever making adjustments to scholar. The job just cannot compete with WHM in nearly ANY situation thanks to WHM's larger list of cure spells, Curagas, esuna, Yagrush, Asclepius, afletus solase, misery, multiple pieces of gear that boost doom removal via cursna, and multiple leg pieces with "Converts X% of "Cure" amount to MP". It is also worlds more difficult to gear for Magic Burst as scholar was left off of the Ea set. If nothing else, please for all that is good, do the underlined parts.
Merits
Group IIJob Abilities
Give access to all Job Abilities, and Job Traits and replace it with:
Magic Accuracy
Magic Attack
Enhancing Duration
Regen Potency
Cure Potency
Fast Cast
Modus Veritas
Either revert the skill to be guaranteed success rate and to increase duration instead of reduce it, OR adjust the DoT of helix spells to not be cap'd at 9999 every "tock" and leave the job ability as is.
EnlightenmentLibra
Extend the effect to include Embrava and Kaustra.
Extend range to use the skill to the same range as spells.
Stratagems
- Adjust the stratagems like you did with RDM's Saboteur. In exchange, cut their duration in half. (RDM saboteur used to only last for a single cast, now it lasts through the duration regardless of casts.)
- From level 1 to 98, the number of stratagems is: #=(Lv.+10)/20; and the rate is: rate=240 seconds/#
Anyone who reaches Lv.99 can within minutes (if not seconds) be iLv.110+, as such make 99 grant 6 stratagems.
In addition, since there is currently no boost for mastery (2100 job points): at 550 boost max stratagems to 8: or 7 and add one for mastery that gives 8. and correct the recharge rate to reflect the change.
Spells
Embrava
Please adjust the cap, so Haste + Embrava will cap magic haste, OR move the effect to job ability haste.
Also as mentioned in job abilities, add a way to cast outside of Tabula Rassa.
KaustraFix the spell, it was not updated when "Magic Damage" was added to the game. Literally, the term is not in the damage equation at all.Esuna
Also as mentioned in job abilities, add a way to cast outside of Tabula Rassa.Please add to the spell to SCH. We are far behind WHM at status removal even with that added to our list, this would at least make SCH slightly more competitive vs WHM.
Klimaform, Adloquium, Animus Augeo, & Animus Minuoadd enhancing skill for a varied potency.Job Points
*dark skill for klimaform.
Light Arts Effect & Dark Arts Effectcombine both into a single category, and with the free'd up slot, add something else, like maybe Magic Attack Bonus or Magic Burst Bonus.EquipmentWhen adding Arbatel +2 & 3, Look at the Ea set as a reference as SCH was left out on that, making it terribly difficult to deal good damage.
Add SCH to list of jobs that can equip Sifahir Slacks, or add a new item with a similar effect for Cures that we can wear. (and RDM)
