Possible expansion SCH concern

[Radacci]

WHM gets holy, stone I and II and aero I and II.

SCH gets ruin I and II, Bio I and II, Miasma I and II, Shadow Flare, Bane and Energy drain.

If you find it harder to solo with SCH than WHM, you are doing it wrong. You don't even have to heal yourself due to Embrace.

ruin has a potency of 80, same with Ruin II, except it wastes a lot of MP for nothing. you can use 3 bane OR energy drains/min.
Stone II has more than 2x the potency of ruin, and Aero II ticks for half of ruin damage/2sec.
holy has potency of 200.
it takes a bit to stack up dots with sch, and it's not very strong, and mob probably dies before dots expire, so you're wasting lots of time with casting them.
it's not harder, it just takes several times longer; you could 2shot a pack of mobs with whm, while SCH is busy casting *insert dot* that takes 20sec to do its damage.

I would like a fairy that can attack, but i dont think we will get it since its not the nature of a fairy ( imagine a little fairy beating the *** out of you) but as soloing SCH does not need anything, we can solo pretty much anything ( just take a while) i think SCH needs some exclusive skills that makes WHM fill their crossclass slots too, SCH needs Swiftcast( as WHMs) but need protect, cleric stance, stoneskin... we need some must-have skills too and with the job's traits make some difference

i dont think a fairy would fly around with a club, and beat stuff with it...maybe sprinkle fairy dust, that makes stuff melt?
yah that's the point...everything takes *a while*

Except when you need a spike damage to kill the timed bombs that spawn together with the golem in Alexandrite maps, SCH have an easier time to solo stuff thant DPS. Slower but easier.

which is why it would be nice with an attacking fairy, for SCH
if you're working on SCH atma relic, you kinda HAVE TO use SCH, so can't switch to some other DPS, to do it faster.

I agree with this as well, I became a healer to heal...not to dps! :< I do agree that a male defense boosting fairy would be amazing! *^*

i'm not suggesting to make SCH into a DD -.- but you DO need to deal damage, sometimes. or how did you get through the SCH job quests, or any other solo content?

New Scholar Fairy leaked!

Would be nice if they make the new fairy a damage mitigation pet. It would fit the sch play style pretty nicely.

or they could add defense buff to Eos, since she already has magic resist buff.
they get skills at lv 1, 20, 40, and maybe 60.

Shadowflare+Bane+Miasma II kills them all outright except for one, which you can nuke down in a moment. Just drag golem to them for the bane, and the rest is cake.

Looks completely legit.







not.

why would you bane shadowflare?? it's already a static dot AOE, so you cant *spread it* and Miasma II is weak.

For Alex maps, I solo'd all for novus on sch and never had a single issue. You put the dots on the golem (or one of the bombs) and then bane those + shadowflare on all + miasma 2. SCH is super easy to solo damn near anything in the open world including some peisteskin maps ... although you are gambling when attempting this. SCH has absolutely no need for dps fairy and would be kind of ridiculous to even consider adding one imo.

That said, I do agree with adding a new fairy if it can be balanced properly. Specifically, not making it so over powered for existing "harder" content. (i.e. doesn't break 2nd coil)

I think a viable option could be a fairy that has tp and mp regen spells? That would be interesting to me. This could open the door for harder dps checks where brd needs to either foe or no song and still provide much needed tp/mp in certain situations.

You Bane because you should already have DoTs running on the golem.

You Shadowflare because it's a 250 potency AoE over 30 seconds and will tick while you do other things.

You Miasma II because it's worth it when you have multiple targets clumped up. The combined potency over 10 seconds is a win.

you worded it as if shadowflare and miasma II would instantly kill the bombs.
