Tips for SCH? :)

[Rawrz]

Hi all,
I'm about to hit 50 on my scholar and I was wondering what kind of things I should be doing to be better at the job. (In simple language, please, I'm not very experienced with MMOs. )

5 minute break from work. The single most effective thing you can do as a scholar:

Embrace. Spam it. Every second that it's not on cd, be using it. She normally won't trigger unless the target is below 80%. If you can get used to keeping embrace active, you'll be a more effective healer. This also caveats it's way into being a better dps, if you choose to take that SCH lifestyle.

Other important things:
1) Use your weave time. If you're in cleric stance and need to lustrate or idom, Ruin II, cs off, lustrate, cs on, back to dpsing.

2) Make room for pots. It's your free dps boost. Your fairy gets the mind bonus to heal with too, so it's great for openers.

3) Use a warrior like a slave in 8 man content that begin with AoE (think sephirot). His defiance and conva give you +40% shield, along with a monks mantra and you're up to 60%. A +60% crit shield lets your healing partner get out a full opener.Tanks aren't the brightest bunch all the time, so ask nicely. .~.

4) Treat virus like a heal(or shield). This is your old lustrate. You can be in cleric stance and still gain wonderful mitigation at no loss. Just make sure antibody isn't up.

5) Sprint is your best friend ever! In dungeons, As the last mob is about to die and you can't fit in another GCD, instead of Ruin II'ing the overkill, you can Stoneskin, then Adlo the tank for the next pull, or Stoneskin, Sprint a distance ahead, but not near mobs, then adlo. You want Adlo applied last, because it will fall off first from slow tanks. If your tank is too quick for you to Stoneskin between pulls, just adlo. :O


That's just a few things! Gotta go back. :3
