Conjurer & White Mage Abilities and Spells Feedback

[hamsteak]

your proposed aero change would make fey light on the scholar, useless

i think esuna should be instant cast and taken off the global cooldown, i agree with your change to freecure, it should work on all 'cure' spells

their mp regen should also be looked at

Im just gonna go ahead and make a prediction: If nothing is done about WHM/SCH balance, world first Bahamut and Primals Extreme whatever will be done with 2 SCH and no WHM, because there simply isnt any reason to use WHM right now

that's not true...

holy, benediction, repose, battle rez, and high potency aoe heals

scholar definitely has more utility but it lacks in high healing numbers, whereas whm has high healing numbers but lacks in utility

yoshi-p already said scholar and white mage will work best together; i can already see scholars reducing potential damage taken, and white mages healing targets back to full

Dont forget the Fairies have their own cooldowns so they keep healing regardless of what you are doing, while a WHM who has to dodge an aoe or move for whatever reason is completely unable to heal for that amount of time (they can Regen I guess since its instant)
You might think Im getting worried for nothing but if B4 told us anything, with the obscenely overpowered Topaz Carbuncle (I know because I lvled an ACN to 20 and solo tanked dungeons without Carbuncle getting below 50% hp...), Im not surprised at all SCH will be the same

I really hope Im wrong, else everyone will just jump ship to SCH

pets also get damaged by aoe (some people have claimed it's reduced, but during ifrit my emerald carbuncle still took a lot of damage) and the scholar will have to position their fairy constantly, it's like controlling two characters at once

i'm not going to say you're worried for no reason, but i do think you're greatly underestimating a skilled white mage's capabilities

i still think benediction is better than lustrate because it's the full amount of health, considering some warriors are talking about putting all 30 points in strength to benefit their self healing... lustrate to me is just an on demand heal for scholar, since 20% isn't too crazy of an amount (yes it can be used three times in succession, but i don't think a smart scholar would want to want three stacks of aetherflow for that, when they could use sacred soil instead)

there probably will only be rare moments in an encounters where a hard boss will use a very hard hitting attack that brings the tank down to ~10% health, and that's where i believe benediction will shine

as for fairies... who knows how they'll work yet? the support fairy may not be able to do anything during the duration of fey glow who knows

when i get to 50 and have tested a bit with scholar, then we can decide if it has too much and white mage has too little (trust me if it's truly overpowered i'll be the first one calling for nerfs)
