Anyone else feeling a hit to SCH?

the almighty AST will be the only healer job now

All bow to the lower mana, more power, most utility healer

It's terrible....Your Not alone! Let the scholars voice be heard!

the changes are not as good as AST but I do like SCH. Feyunion is a cool idea for helping tanks with heavy hits and their chain stratagem ability will make nice synergy with DPS classes. However I do agree its nothing as good as what AST is getting.

To be fair, they have been talking about nerfing SCH for quite some time. None of this is any surprise to me. However the super buffs to AST were quite unnecessary. As was the rework of WHM. What's the point of nerfing everything to only have one healing class constantly picked? I'm a scholar main, and while this will not stop me from maining the class, it does leave alot to be desired...I can only hope they finally realize how overbuffed AST is....but then again, with what they did with WHM....It's highly unlikely....I know...

If all 3 healers were viable as they claimed why did they remove so much from SCH and completely butcher WHM. if everything remaind mostly the same and lets say embrace was lowered, like it was anyway, that would be understandable, if shadowflare became what it is but the rest of our kit was the same, hey thats fine too. Its the combination of everything, they just "ruined" the one job they got right from the beginning. sigh, T.T

At this point, Astro has buried White Mage. It's gunning for someone new! :eek:

I feel like this concept deserves to be a meme.

Which is TERRIBLE idea.

Nerfing is apart of the balance process whether anyone here likes it or not.

The only thing that's going to suck about 4.0's SCH is being unable to full on carry DPS in a weak DF dungeon run.
