In regard to the Scholars

[Vittorino]

funny shit is these devs keep nerfing SCH's. But refuse to give us a damn viable CC. They fail to understand WHM's have Stone=heave, Blizzard II= Bind, Holy=Stun, Fluid Aura= Knockback & Bind, Repose=Sleep.

SCH, Aldo=Dmg Mitigation 2 sec cast np, Blizzard II crossclass- Only CC, Aura Blast=2min Knockback.

2.25 they get rid of our only viable CC and stick with giving SMN'er Tri-disaster an SMN'er only ability utilize strictly for PvP.

SE you lack some serious development Innovation. What will you do in 2.38 when people cry about our Adloquium? Get rid of our crit double buff spell. psssh, I'll play a game or two and then stop got all my achievs enjoy this broken system..

One Love, Eaz

From Update notes:

Skills such as One Ilm Punch or Glory Slash can now remove any remaining stacks of Aetherflow on a selected target.

Ouch.

Could have been worse, I suppose?

I think this is more of an improvement for MNK/PLD than a nerf for SCH. If all DPS and tank classes would have a capability to remove lustrates, then I would rage.
And also, I wonder what's the chance/rate.

[Nayto]

Don't forget you can also have 'buffer' buffs as well... think the former buff gets removed first or the later... can't remember.

Only thing you'd have to worry about is a mnk on perfect balance rush to spam this. Kinda worthless on PLD/GLA since glory slash is too long of a CD.

This change cost them a sub. Thank god they didn't get a chance to renew on me.

I had a chance to get a good feel for the game, the impression was generally positive, and one expects balance sweeps, but to mess with a core class resource is outrageous overreach in any game.

How about having 1 ilm punch put every every WHM cool-down over 1 minute on cool-down too?

No, they don't. You are probably on the trial account and will be gone when the Destiny is out. Threatening with subscription so so 1999....

off topic: to be fair in a subscription based mmo the majority of your voting power comes with your sub, unless your suggesting the alternative is to keep giving the company your not satisfied with money and hoping they will listen to you at which point they know your threats are empty lol

I am the OP and you might want to read the thread...... Or at least the beginning.

+1. And that's why WHM is my 2nd one favorite in PvP.... To be honest I just leveled healers for PvP. Scholar is awesome (But sadly I think they are going to nerf us even more) and WHM is super tactical and have a lot of things to do, at least in PvP.

Hey, don't swear it too much, I could really imagine a future where Scholar's dont have adloquium critical buff, being just a one-target succor.

Well until we actually are able to play over a course of time, you will not really know how the change would affect gameplay as much. As mentioned by another poster, this removal of Stacks is more of a buff for monk than nerf for scholars.

I don't think much will change in PvP though other than monks chasing after scholars more often and with the potency buffs given to dps classes, hopefully it solves some kind of damage issue people might have. If you're quitting the game after just hearing about something and not extensively trying it out, I don't know, it's more telling of yourself.
