My Complete Scholar Rework -> Suggestions -> Please read

coming up with reworks idea might inspire some good changes to the healers ,i am doubtful they will read this cause of the media tour and interviews but i still have some hope, although try not to confuse dreams and imaginitive/theory reworks with actual gameplay build so your post wont have any negetive effects ^^.

as a shield healer I feel they should have more offensive opinions. summoner lost alot of abilities. its only fair I strongly believe that

scholar should get bane/miasma. is this bad thing no. shield healers are different then pure healers. so these dps opinions. just they should have more dps opinions added to them.

only differences i would make is make miasma a ogcd with cooldown. and bane as well so can be used over and over. that is art of war is for. and honestly dont want feel like these spells replace

Lack of ogcds on scholar is not really fair healing on them isn't hard. but requires twice as many button presses to get someone 1-100. is it impossible no. isn't it stressful yes.

good example is when dark/gun breaker or in 8 man content a boss decides drop everyone 1 if dont heal them to 100% they die. as a scholar this is very hard to pull off on your own. ive pulled it off few times. and healed all tanks then again its stressful. its actual 7-8 healing button combo. watch have pull off 12-15 watch can be pain thanks ogcd

scholar needs a big ogcd. something they can use heal other people while gaining aetherflow. aetherflow at moment only gives MP. it could be used give healing/sheilding to the tank someone who needs it. being solid ogcd.

Dissipation - this ability needs some adjustiments. however i find it very strong when comes to scholar healing. 20% healing increases is very important i use it very often. however i feel them method removing fairy on battle feild is a bit much. just for that. this ability needs have some type of benediction like ogdc. or add more effects too it

Finally - Selene/Eos must be different then each other. your simply just keeping Eos/Selene as cosmetic abilities watch there is no difference between the two. that is the case just add fairy glamor and be done. but you see no scholar wants that. we want both faires to have a place. so my suggestion is rework both selene/eos have two difference functions.

Lastly scholars dependiant on crits for big shields. thats completely rng. cant say how many melds. that dont have any crit. this is problem specially after stat squish. are shields should me meatier. yes critting still be a thing but completely depending on rng for class to function. is bit much.

I'll just go point by point:

I agree Scholar should have Miasma, it feels weird to me that Scholar forgets how to use that when coming from Arcanist. I know that ACN/SMN are about to lose their DoTs, but at least having two DoTs, maybe at different timers too, would give a bit more to juggle in downtime. Bane is fun too, but I would rather have the DoT than it; Bane could be brought back as an effect of Art of War I suppose, but in the sake of preventing button bloat I don't think it should be it's own dedicated button on Scholar.
It seems like people have asked for Miasma back all expansion though, and SE hasn't acquiesced, so what I'd like and what will happen are two different things unfortunately.

Scholar is getting Protraction in EW which is going to help with it's ability to heal, but DRK is the only tank you need to worry about. Just because you see a GNB drop to 1 doesn't mean you need to immediately heal them to 100%, they've got invuln on them and regen ticks/other healing can easily put them in good standing before the next raidwide/tankbuster. Obviously it's case by case, but Superbolide is great, nowhere near on the level of unfun that Living Dead can be.

I don't agree, Scholar's healing kit is very powerful and it doesn't need more added to it.
Dissipation is fine IMO, I suppose the GCD healing buff could be changed to apply to Aetherflow heals, but I feel like 20% healing increase + Protraction's 10% + Recitation guaranteed crit would be incredibly busted. I know people don't like the idea that your faerie goes away for 30 seconds, but it's part of the trade off that the aetherflow stacks will be more useful to you than your fairy however you spend them. (heals or DPS)
I did not play before ShB so I don't know of a time where Eos and Selene are different, but I think it would be neat. I've thought that instead of Selene doing Embrace, she could do small attacks on an enemy, so it's just the trade of the Embrace heals and not changing of skills. Eos as a prog fairy, Selene as a farm fairy, etc. The problem being that the more you differentiate between the two, the more you make one the "better option", which obviously you wouldn't want to happen or they'd end up just combining them again.
Crits aren't completely RNG, Recitation guarantees you a Critlo every 90 seconds, and conveniently in Endwalker, Deployment Tactics is getting changed to a 90 second cooldown! This means you'll have a guaranteed party wide Critlo every 90 seconds, neat!
