Is that a SCH i see?

Foreshadowing SCH or just random attire for CON and/or THM?


As a fellow former SCH enthusiast from FF11, this makes me happyface. I might break my "maining melee onry" promise and go back to mage if this shapes up well.

SCH was a pointless addition to FF11.

And hope they don't make the same mistake with this game.

They could do with redesigning THM to be more like a necromancer though, especially how the THM quests hint at zombifaction and having control over the dead.

I havent done the thm quests, but in other stories it is hinted at that the thurmaturges secretly practice necromancy, however the are always denying it, it could be different in the thm quuests as I have not done them.

Could be the the first pet class :D

I personally loved SCH it was the only mage class in XI I could get past lvl 7.... I got it to lvl 37... I really enjoyed playing it, You were never stuck to a specific role sure people were still cookie cutter molding it... but I had a lot of fun with it. I do know a lot of people didnt like it though

Oh yeah, that's a SCH alright.

>_>

Most jobs in XI were "pointless" but it's not really about their utility but about having more options for players. When PvP comes around it'll be tough to implement more "optional" jobs though, since balance is everything and more jobs = harder to balance.

I see only a THM showing the passive mode cast
Look at the weapon, it's a THM weapon

ya the dress might remind you of a sch but have too look at the weapon. SCH would probably carry a huge tomb with them and when in melee the just drop it on the mobs head and watch it go splat because it is such a huge and heavy book XD

Who knows how jobs will branch off. If this isn't CON, then perhaps a future THM could be BLM, SCH & NEC.

I'm going to guess that that's just one of the new outfits coming with 1.19. Sorry, no SCH here.

Heh, man i remember tezz on sch in xi. there was a saying in our shell, sch isn't broken. Tezz is lol

It just looks like a black velveteen robe to me...

Weapon looks like a normal conjurers weapon, spell looks like a standard Fire II effect.

Not seeing anything special in that picture really.

It wasn't pointless at all. :( I specialized as a damage-dealing SCH, and more often than not I was doing a lot more damage than the better geared black mages out there in raw nuking power, not to mention I was a helix fanatic and by the end of their duration, those helices equated to more than an ancient magic spell most times. And for only like, 79MP? something like that.

Why not boost BLM instead? The job was pointless because it added nothing new to the table. Not enough to justify a new Job anyway. Instead it stepped on another Job's toes.

Well, for me it was that SCH was much more versatile than a BLM role. Black Mages nuked and... that's as far as their capability goes. Maybe a few cures to help out in healing, but not very effective. SCH could enfeeble, heal, nuke, and use all of their spells in innovative ways with the fact that they could apply them to multiple mobs instead of one [i.e. graviga, bindga for added crowd control]. Oh, and lets not forget stormsurge which added +7 to your attributes as well as damage increase for magic attacks according to the element applied ^^b It did a lot more than just step on toes

Whatever it is that gear looks really stylish. :D

Ifrit drops Sorcerers robe and hat its probably that. con/thm

SCH can come off as a bit redundant in FF11. It does offer a new play style over BLM, WHM & RDM though.

I think SCH would compliment FF14 better than it did FF11. Since there would be no need for a whole new class, they could just utilize it as a job specification.

Its a THM with their 2h weapon.

The hat? Idk.

All of SCH's "new" utilities (which were not that many and not that useful) could have been given to their respective jobs instead.

Only now is SCH starting to become slightly more diverse since they have a way to give party members regain.

Oh, no. That just looks like a variation of the velveteen robe. D: Anyway, I doubt it. I hope not. If anything scholar should become a class onto itself. It could have a bunch of new skills, and if it is a job it might be attached to Arcanist.

The hat is the Cavalier's hat.

I really think that is just the outfit, from an angle that makes the hat look more square than it is.

Also there is no upcoming way that I could see sch, unless it was a job for arcanist, which I doubt. Also that is so far along in the future, itd be ridiculous for them to add now. We have 1.19 coming for some balance. Then 1.2 is supposed to be smaller and I think 1.21 is the magic job patch. After jobs are released there will be 1.22 which balances them. Then after they are balanced we'll finally be able to consider the class arcanist coming out.

As a side note, sch wasnt a useless job. Just as red mage performed well in all roles simultaneously, sch performed one side of the magic branch well or the other, and had to switch.

i really wan thm to get necromancer

It's a THM casting fire in passive mode.

It's one of those fancy hats with the feather. I want one.

I liked SCH in FFXI. It was a very interesting class that was actually added to be sj. SCH brought to XI the flexibility the game was lacking due the fail skill system. Was very nice for, as example, having higher tier nukes to combo with DRK elemental skills oe allowing SMN to use enfeebling magic even without enfeebling skills.

Also, sublimation was a godsend skill. Too bad SCH was just an awesome sj, not really being better than any color mage when disputing a role.

And talking about SCH here, it prolly would actually used a grimoire as weapon, like in FFT...after all the grimoire is the SCH weapon.

People who likely only played SCH on it's initial release aside, it was a great job and in other FF games that they exist they play in a similar fashion. XI's incoporation of it was because face it, you either have White Magic, Black Magic or Fell Magic (Blue), a SCH is definitely not a Blue Mage. SCH's also had the ability to control weather activated gear and bonuses, something no other mage can directly control outside of having Sea access for Obis.

A SCH can also directly control hate levels. So yes, SCH did indeed bring something different to the table. This is not a SCH, but I would rather see them use a Grimoire.
