SCH 4.0 ability mp costs

[Eloah]

I don't like that fact that we have now AoE now, we didn't have much before but now its abysmal. Those Bane changes suck, we wanted the change we got in HW so bad, and were thrilled when it happened, but now, just WHY???? At least give us a Holy/Gravity Skill since now were are just like WHM, casting 2 DoTs then spamming a damage spell... Fun?

I have to say it's quite a bit of BS that Scholars get both Aetherflow and access to Lucid Dream (or whatever it's called).

[Nathair]

In raid we're probably not even getting that, preferring to learn how to manage MP.
At least that's what I'll do.
LD being optional shouldn't have had an impact on MP costs honestly. Not when, as pointed out, AST has lower costs, a proper aoe dps skill, will get LD AND has lightspeed, AND can make all those longer with CO.
It sounds like a bad joke.

Aetherflow looks to give 10% mana now, from MrHappy's SCH footage. I kinda hope it's been reverted, regardless of the new trait. I know we have access to more tools, but I'd rather not have to take Lucid Dreaming because they've nerfed Aetherflow.
AST has been buffed to the firmaments, and retains the 20% Balance buff... and as everyone else points out, has lower mana costs. Not to mention a 300% boosted insta-cast shield. With +15% potency. But it's cool 'cause we have a fairy...

We'll be fine with the mp regen they gave us.
Aertherflow nerf was predictible since we get lucid dream aswell.
But we still have energy drain, our aetherflow and the fairy heal are still free mp cost.

So with all of these, our mana will be as good as now.

Except that like we did before, if we're going to dps a lot, you'll want to use stacks for ED, which means lots of MP but no free heals. AND if we'll need to shield a lot, it still means that every stack will likely go to ED to get MP back.

Like I said, I don't want to take Lucid Dream to compensate for the reduced MP from Aetherflow. With already needing to take a few skills from the Role system, I don't really want LD to have to be one of them. Yeah, I'm willing to see how well it works in practice, but losing 10% MP from Aetherflow just doesn't fill me with excitement. >Not to mention the icky look of AoE on SCH<

[LegoTechnic]

I never really wanted shroud of saints to be honest. It was part of the SCH class design to have Aetherflow, while WHM had their refresh ability. Perhaps it should have triggered a warning when AST came along with a clone ability instead of their own unique regen mechanic.

Regardless plan for LD to be on your bar, because we have it now and there is really no good reason not to take it.

Have you see, lucid dream just reduce aggro buddy

It also grants Refresh w/ 80 potency.
