Scholars - missing the point

[PiedPiper]

@ People complaining fairy comes off steady if you use embrace.... why are you using embrace manually? As was said on earlier pages of the threat, place your fairy correctly and you will never need to manually cast embrace. This also answers the whm apologist talking about how embrace staggers your gcd and requires extra button presses: no, it doesn't. Fairy should be placed correctly in which case she will auto-cast on correct targets full time.

@ Bene vs Lustrate: Bene is too slow. It suffers from the same problem hallowed ground does: both of these skills are delayed by the animation, meaning they aren't actually instant, they are a second or so slower than the button press. Lustrate, however, is actually instant. This alone makes it stronger. Bene's use isn't actually about full healing the target, its about preventing the next attack from killing the target. yes the full heal is nice, but the 20% to make them live long enough to cast on them is what maters. Also, lustrate being off gcd and up nearly all the time makes it much more useful. Bene is a 5 minute tool which has to be used sparingly, lustrate is a tool that's almost always available. If you play a lot of scholar and go back to whm, its easy to begin to feel like whm is painfully slow.

Experience: both healing relics, raiding through turn 4.
