forgiving healing, and fun at work

[peaches]

I'm a Scholar, and loving it so far. The only complaint I have is we are lacking AoE heals - We have one of our own, but it is very weak potency, and adds a very weak bubble. The best use I can find for it is using it BEFORE a party wide AoE damage happens and trying to prevent it.

Scholar should be fine on the PS3, just make sure you go to Pet Actions and put at least four of her hotbar moves onto your own - Place, Heel, Embrace, and... Her AoE regen, I can't remember the name. I find the best way to play Scholar is to literally spam the fairy's Embrace manually, since it is only slightly weaker than your own Physick and costs no MP, and when the tank gets to 50-60% HP use Physick or Adloquium. The hardest part about Scholar is managing the fairy, and placing her in a spot where everybody - or at least the tank - will get the AoE regen and AoE magic defense buff. If you can manually place her by having it on your action bar, it should be a fair bit easier.

It is about half of what a WHM Heal does and the "bubble" essentially adds the amount healed in bubble form. (half of WHM heals doubled are the same) So, it is technically possible over heal with it. (AKA the targets be at full health with an additional bubble that acts the same as HP)
