Both of the other healers have awesome looking visually satisfying AOE spells while scholar is LITERALLY just the OLD shared PVP aoe damage spell animation and they called it a day. Is there some reason that scholar wasn’t given a unique animation like the other healers got? Are we ever going to get one or are we stuck spamming this pity PVP spel for the rest of this game’s lifespan?
Why doesn’t scholar have a unique AOE spell?

Because they wanted to reuse the pvp skill lmao

Why create a new animation when they can just use one that already exists? Saves on dev time.

Let it apply a dot. I’d be happy.

06-26-2021, 03:02 AMFukuropersonally while i think holy is a little too glary (as a spammable skill), i really like astro‘s aoe. it‘s just so satisfying to look at, kind of jealous :,(Quote:

I used to really love Holy, but gradually I’ve gotten to where I find Gravity the most appealing of the healer aoes. Art of War just isn’t.....satisfying.

The only problem I have with gravity is that it doesn't draw in enemies.. like c'mon!! It's called GRAVITY!!

I actually like the sound of it when u hit mobs. The more mobs u hit the louder the noise gets.

06-26-2021, 04:14 AMAnhraIt does make enemies gravitate towards you if you hit them before the tank does, duh.Quote:

As someone who plays a lot of fighting games: I like our sch baby 'demon storm/raging storm/pillar blast.' Just the image of bookish Veira/Lala/Miqo trying to replicate those gives me a chuckle.

06-26-2021, 04:55 AMRyuDragnierLet it apply Silence to interrupt targets. Heavy is pretty useless, meanwhile Stun can be too OP. Silence gives us a niche to where we can interrupt a lot of annoying moves on the enemies in dungeons.Quote:

Art of war animation is meh....

06-26-2021, 07:37 AMRongwayEven a single target spammable Interrupt, let alone an AoE one, would be grossly OP. There are trash mobs with interruptible actions that a tank or ranger should watch for so they can Interrupt. They shouldn't get interrupted just from anyone spamming an AoE.Quote:

Interrupts never stop working, so a spammable Interrupt would be OP because it requires no timing considerations. You just spam it.Quote:

06-26-2021, 08:37 AMRongwayMNK's infinite Silence took either great skill or great inefficiency to use. A MNK could solo silence all the High Voltages in Coil T1/T2, for example, but their GCD speed had to be exactly right or they had to hold back. Anyway, that's moot because they don't have that anymore.Quote:

This is several steps more involved than "spam an AoE". -

How often do you fight chimaeras? Can you point to a specific trash enemy with a dangerous buff? I feel you're taking what you learned elsewhere and trying to apply it here not realizing that trash in this game is really really bare bones with absolutely no bite to it.
At best having a spammable silence would help with that one dude in the first pull in Pagl'than. That's it. -

Wait you mean having someone actually silence the raid paralysis in Puppet's Bunker is op? By golly we've found the rift in the matrix!

06-27-2021, 03:02 AMLiam_HarperSo, it would trivialize things that are already completely trivial?Quote:
