Concerns about SCH.

[MrButter]

Can you explain how anything will be made weaker by giving SCH more spells? I don't see how making SCH better automatically makes other jobs weaker. RDM will still be exactly the same. That's like saying that making PUP better automatically makes BST and SMN weaker.

Look at Final fantasy 14 and you see what happens when every job has roughly the same abilities.

there are no jobs. Everything is the same. And if you keep up with 14's Development Plan, increasing class uniqueness has become a very high priority.

Scholar has always been treading the fine line between powerful and Broken. It doesn't need any kind of substantial buffing at this point, barring enmity control which i previously mentioned. Furthermore Scholar was not necessarily about Unique spells, it was about using existing spells in new ways through stratagems. Even then it got it's own set of unique buffs and unique DoT spells, and continued in the level cap advances to get it's own unique buffs related to enmity and even regain. It is very much set apart from the three original mage classes. The -Only- point i agree on: Native Access to Banish and possibly Holy might be appropriate, Though I'd probably say only under the effects of addendum: white.

P.S. in case u hadn't noticed, the new jug pets for BST coupled with the fact that BST itself gets respectable DD gear has made it a much better pet job than PUP, who's pet by comparison is now quite weak, even though PUP itself has become a more vivacious damage dealer. Furthermore the only advantage SMN has, and it is a great boon to the job, is it's lack of enmity/tp generation. It's over all damage parse is still, however, less than a BST these days. So it's 'exactly like' BST becoming much better has made PUP in SMN weaker. They are weaker by comparison to BST.
