Scholar Fixes

The Biggest problem I have with this ability is its cost at 10 per tick it is to much and gets wasted a lot with its short range
Fey Union
Increase Potency to 500, increase range to 20y Allow it to be effected by Rouse.
Cost to maintain reduced to 5 instead of 10.

Duration is way to short
Excogitation
Duration increased to 1 min, recast removed or lowered to 5 seconds.

Scholars lack an emergency heal that we can use reliably, this would turn Adlo into one without adding a new skill to scholars
Emergency Tactics Your next Adlo or Succor is a forced crit along with its currect effect. increase recast to 45 seconds

just make it give us stacks, the healing increase sucks as it doesnt effect lustrate or indom
Dissipation
Remove healing increase, remove Killing of fairy, just restores aetherflow stacks.

Great skill just needs a lower CD
Deployment Tactics
Recast lowered from 120 to 60 seconds

Great skill just needs a lower CD
Indomitability
Recast lowered from 30 to 10

Sacred Soil
no longer cost aetherflow stack, recast 60 seconds

Succor
increase potency to 200

Adloquium
Increase potency to 400

Physick
increase potency to 450

Quickened Aetherflow
Gives 2 more aetherflow stacks

Currently Selene is pretty much dead to a lot of scholars, some easy changes to bring her back.

Silent Dawn
changed to increase dmg of party members by 5% for 20 seconds, Does not stack with Fey Wind.

Fey Wind
Increased from 3% to 5%, Does not stack with Silent dawn.

I can get behind all of these honestly, especially the changes to Silent Dawn and Fey Wind which would allow Selene to be competitive and useful again beyond dungeon content.

At this point, it appears Physick, Aldo, and Succor are the yardstick against which SE measures and calibrates everyone else's heals. I would be surprised if they buffed them. It would be more likely for them to scale back some of AST's buffs.

Im not a fan of nerfing other classes really, just buff the other classes up.

Most of these changes would help scholar a ton without breaking them.

You can't have your emergency tactics gives you a 100% crit on adlo and have deployment tactics at 1min.
That would mean scholar could deploy a crit adlo every minute. (especially if you want adlo potency increased to 400)

It is too powerful.

However...since it's now cleary written in adloquium description that a crit doubles the potency of the shield, having to possibly to force the crit "could" be an idea and give scholar back his strongest ability to shield.
But obviously, the CD of such a thing couldn't be low, it would be overpowered.

I agree that Selene should have a little rework but, I don't know, I'm not a big fan of giving her damages boost...
We know how the balance healers currently is.

I'd rather prefer that fairy gain mitigation, since it's scholar primary role and we didn't get any since a long time.
Raw heals are great, you need some, but I choose to play scholar because I liked the mitigation role. But instead, they took off Virus from our toolkit [...]

I may have worded it poorly, But what I'm saying is add the force crit to the current ability, this would trigger a heal not a shield.

your next Adlo or Succor is a crit +Transforms the next Galvanize status into HP recovery equaling the amount of damage reduction intended for the barrier.

Posted in another thread. The change to dissipaton, creating a fairy swap that interacts with fey union, which has different effects with either fairy would enhance synergy extremely. Eos stays her powerful aoe support self and selene becomes more single target. Selene would not increase damage, because if she did, DPS would expect it over the tank at all times and Eos would never be used for fey union. Shortened list to what i feel would have the most impact.

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/m...issipation.png Dissipation: Orders your pet away while granting you a full Aetherflow stack.
Also grants a buff that increases healing magic potency by 20%. Your next Summon or Summon II is instant cast. Buff ends after 30 seconds or when your next Summon or Summon II is cast. Aetherflow spent while in dissipation will fill fairy gauge at a rate of 20 instead of 10. Using aetherflow outside of a fairy summoned or dissipation will have no effect on the gage.

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/m...-Fey_Union.png Fey Union:

When active with Eos All party members within 10 yalms receive 200 potency in healing every 3 seconds . A buff is placed on all members within range increasing spell based healing potency by 10%, which ends as fey union does. Fey union remains unaffected as an ability.

While Selene is active 350 potency every 3 seconds to a single target within 15 yalms. A buff is placed on that party member reducing damage taken by 10%.

Fairys:

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/m...0px-Summon.png Eos:
Fey illumination returned to 20%.

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/m...-Summon_II.png Selene: Fey Charm-Silent Dusk no longer applies Silence, instead it places an 8 second magic vulnerability down on a single target and is called Fey Charm. Cool down of 90 seconds.
Fey wind buffed to 5% speed increase.

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/m.../40px-Bane.png Bane: Also spreads Chain Strategum. 15% chance to reset its duration on the mobs hit.

Role Skill Change:

Break: cast time 2 seconds. Recast 2.5. MP cost equal to 1.33x Broil II. Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 65-80 to target and all nearby targets.
Additional Effect: Heavy +20%
Duration: 15s



Imagine having Selene out, to increase dps of the raid. Large AoE is coming. Dissipation! Burn Aetherflow. Energy Drain. Energy Drain. Adlo spread. Sacred Soil. 60 gauge filled. Instant Summon Eos. Dissipation falls off. Massive AoE about to hit. Fey union Eos to make her a pulsing 200 potency heal, while increasing the healing potency of your coheal. You used multiple cool downs together to create a powerful effect.

Does that not just scream tactician? Scholar?

Dissipation I don't know why people want the healing % to stay it is pointless...it only effects Physick, Adlo, and succor its the same reason why Largesse is just a MEH cooldown. Now if it effected Lustrate or indom that would be great, but that isn't going to happen.


I would love for these changes to fey union but again they have made it clear they don't want the fairy healing as much as pre Stormblood, so no way this will happen.:(

Oh okay, I misunderstood then my bad.

Emergency Tactics + Adlo + Deployement Tactics = Benediction for everybody every 1 min ?
