Tank Fairy

For those of you that think us SCHs need a tank fairy that should mean SMNs should get a healing Egi. We don't need a tank fairy, I solo just fine without one. If you're that concerned why not make your chocobo a tank chocobo. You'd have your chocobo to tank, your fairy to heal, and you can put up cleric stance and DPS. You've got the trinity system right there!

People can't solo on sch what? It takes longer than smn but yeah nooo tanking fairy is def not necessary.

inb4 summoners demanding more potent heals because scholars can heal for that much

-grabs popcorn-

Agree,
Sch do not need a tank pet the same as smn don't need a healing pet.
It will be become a very big grey area if they both can do what the other job can.

*munches on popcorn*

Scholars don't need no freakin tank faerie. However, I've tanked with my summoner when we've lost our tank in dungeons. Qarn comes to mind. Even though we made it through the entire dungeon,stepping on our DC'd tankers toes with Titan, we got to the last boss and could not complete it.

Although I am curious as to what they will get with the level cap increases. Only fair to give them more pets as summoners will surely get them too. Maybe a status inflicting pet that could maybe cause terror or hysteria along with embrace and have a status warding team buff? I'm excited to see!

A bard-like fairy with MP and TP restoring cooldowns would be cool to see.

Why people asking for a Tank Fairy o-O???? People are telling me that SCH can not solo shit despite having a healer 24/7 at your service for free???? Good laugh...

That could be pet #4 ;)

I think it's rumored that summoners will get Levi and Ramuh egis with the expansion. With that I am anticipating (though not holding my breath) that Scholars will get two new pets as well. Although SE has done a pretty amazing job with impressing me with this game as of late.

Keep it up! :p

Or u can be a true tank and tank urself.
Can't really say sch can tank due to the sch not taking damage if all tht damage is going to the pet.
If the sch dies in 1 or 2 hits then lawl.
But has anyone tested if the fairies hp scale with the sch's max hp?
Something similar to how titan has more hp when the sch equips tank gear and uses a vit potion.
Also like how stoneskin works off of max hp.

By SCH, you means SMN?? Because I don't recall SCH has access to Titan Egi??

*reaches over for popcorn*

SCH is a lot like RDM in that "other" game, can pretty much solo everything except dungeon bosses, and even then can kite for a bit before raising team.

We don't need as many fairys as Summoners have egi's. We get the job done with what we have.

I did suggest a tank fairy in the past on another thread, but have since changed my mind. I really do think what we have now for SCH is enough, from what little content I've completed, being a filthy casual. The only hole in the job I've noticed is a possible enhancement to mind traits, and maybe another group heal spell.

We need more fairies for fun and variety of gameplay, but tank fairy should be low on the list.

No one wants SCHs using a tank fairy in dungeons any more than they want to see SMN with Titan-Egi.

Fairy HP scales with your VIT. I wear some VIT / Crit melded i90 crafted accessories on my SCH because I prefer that itemization versus the others and my Fairy has 5.4K HP while I have like 5.8K, I think.

On topic - why have a tank fairy when you have a little heal bot fairy healing you while you tank? =p

DPS fairy.

I miss carby.

The premise made me say wtf out loud. I can bodytank just about everything I'll need to face alone no sweat.

What I need is a hard crowd control skill that I can use to interrupt enemy casts. No Selene doesn't count.

Eos is pretty much a tank fairy for low level roulettes. And I've found she does a better job tanking than some of the GLD and MRD I've seen.

Ooooo I love this topic people go full retard ^^

SCH doesnt need an actual tank as a pet like SMN, but we know SE likes to maintain balance where there are similarities.

SMN has 3 summons so in time most likely SCH will get a 3rd plus Eos and selene are from greek mythology where they have a brother helios; the sun god. It would make sense for Helios to bring a refresh tp/mp element to SCH but that would be OP unless WHM gets a nice expansion. Or they could draw straight from mythology just mirror selene but in reverse seeing as she is the moon, and the helios the sun so he could indirectly infringe on enemy's dps or potency.

Unless that man-fairy comes with a subligar, I'm vehemently against it. Just because.

I'm very afraid that they will give us a completely useless new fairy, tbh.

Selene is only useful because A) BLMs, B) Eos is almost always redundant, and C) BLMs. Her buff to raid DPS is actually pretty tiny except when you have a party of SS-stacking BLMs. A fairy that debuffed enemies in direct contrast to how Selene buffs allies would almost certainly live on a shelf next to Eos since damage mitigation and healing are both pretty well covered without their help.

If they give us an extreme niche fairy like this, hopefully its unique abilities will be more fun than hitting a party buff every 30 seconds.

Summoner is getting 3 more summons soon.

As summoner I just want my carbuncle back, lol

I miss that sparkly blue green squirrel. /cry

I'd rather a revised Emerald Carbuncle go to Scholar, rather than summoner...

I'd rather Levi, Shiva & Ramuh go to summoner.
