Future Scholar Skill ideas

White Mage's have one, we should too! =D

lvl 52, Trait.
Enhanced Succor
20% chance that when casting Succor, it will crit on everyone.

Lvl 55

New fairy!

Lyra: Light of the Stars (She is yellow, with blue borders around her wings sort of like how Selene is yellow with purple, and Eos yellow with green)
She focuses on debuffing the enemies, instead of buffing her allies.
Skills:
Embrace (duh)

Radiant Purge: Purges a single buff from an enemy and gives it to a random party member depending on role and buff stolen. Cast: 3 seconds, Recast: 30 seconds

Fey Dim: Emits an aura that dims the light around all enemies that come within 10 yalms of the fairy causing them to go blind until aura ends. Aura lasts for 30 seconds.
Cast time: Instant, Recast: 60 seconds. Cannot be used while Fey Radiance is active.

Fey Radiance: (Manually cast) Calls down a hovering star in the designated area that emits a glow, paralyzing enemies that come within 6 yalms of it. Lasts for 30 seconds. Cast Time: 5 seconds, Recast: 190 seconds. Cannot be used while Fey Dim is active.

Level 58, Trait.
Holy Ground
Increases Sacred soil damage mitigation to 18% instead of 10%.

-insert Arcanist trait giving us 4 aetherstacks here-


Level 60:

Adloquium II
Puts a shield around a party member that absorbs all damage equal to their max HP. (Doesn't heal) Lasts 10 seconds or until shield is broken. Cast time: Instant, Recast: 300 seconds. Uses 1 Aetherflow stack and costs as much mp as Ressurection.

Oh I really like your fairy idea. So are you having fey radiance a manually placed spell? I would think it should work similarly to other pet abilities you don't control and just be around her. But then it would be nice to have more control of what and where our fairies go.

I think that Adloquium II will even out the playing field with WHM's oh shi~ benediction.

Your idea for enhanced succor would also probably alleviate complaints on succor's "underwhelming potency"

Yeah, I think radiance would be better as a manually placed skill so she wouldn't overwrite Dim. Also better being ranged instead of around her, so you can freely move her out of harms way without worrying about the debuff missing the enemies.

Have another idea for a furture SCH skill / trait...

Lvl 62 skill : "Control Fairy" - Makes your Fairys skill "Obey" work.
Lvl 52 trait: When your Fairy is under the effect of "Obey" it won't spam abilities instantly when off CD.


;-)

Anyways.... please fix Fairy AI...

I would love a more offensive faerie. My idea is as below

she would have embrace, purge (45sec due to pvp balancing), a debuff on enemy where attacker will have chance on restoring x amount of TP or X amount of MP (last 15sec with a min cd, duration depends on amount restored, long duration + low restore amount per attack would be more friendly across fights though), and a debuff that reduce target's damage by 10-20% for 10-15sec with 2min cd.

For our traits, Aetherflow IV of course...enhanced resurrection that rez target with 50% hp and mp, rejuvenating shield (heal 10% of shield amount of succor and adloquium over 6 sec --> healer's fantasy oh yeah! unlikely though lol, just suggesting), and perhaps enhanced faerie which increase faerie's healing and hp by 30%. We might also see the increase radius of faerie's healing with chance of embrace to gives us cast free adlo.

As for active skills, I think at some point we may get a 30sec buff that make our next Physick to become a shield. We MIGHT also get a skills to share 30% inc dmg with the target (up to 50% of our hp amount before the bond breaks, 4-5min cds). We might also see Eye for an Eye II where mobs hitting on target with this buff will get X amount of dmg per hit.

Just sharing.

id like a skill where ya turn into a fairy

a passive skill that
allows the ability to summon 2 Fairies
reduce the healing done by the Fairies / or alternate the heals between Fairies (like both Fairies cant cast heal at the same time)

a new blue fairy
that is a dps ice fairy or water fairy with spells that can explode on the target creating a mist or rain that heals team mates

a pink or red fairy
that has a healing fire

a green fairy
that casts magic seeds into/on targets that can bloom into healing effect

also like some skills that are super sparkly that is cast with the help of your fairy

We could have a fairy that focuses on regenerating HP, MP and TP and have the normal embrace move.

yeah having another class that share Bard's raid buff would be great I guess.

I think scholar should get a new debuff in a healing vein

20 sec duration with a 30 second recast and require Aetherflow, causing the mob to heal who they hit for a certain amount on every attack. Number would have to be tweaked to not be overpowered, but something like 50 or 60 HP...and have it useable with Bane so it can spread. This would fit nicely with scholar coming from a DoT/debuff background and having heals too.

Now as far as fairy goes, a debuff fairy would be perfect, as long as it was an Aura type and not a targeted type. As in, when you activate it, a set radius around the fairy received the debuff. That would make it so position of the fairy was important, just like it should be always.
