Consolidated Scholar 4.0 Feedback Thread

-Revert The Embrace fifty potency reduction, back to 300 instead of 250, even if it means keeping her rng spell speed buff gone.

-Buff Broil II and Malefic III to 250 Potency like Stone IV has, or reduce the potency of Stone IV.

SCH Boi II and Bane Lag?
I was curious if anyone has gotten the Lag of abilities where;
You hit Bio 2, now an Instant, and immediately hit Bane, from part of your Aetherflow to cause yours DOTs to spread to other nearby targets, but Bio 2 does appear as a hit or miss. Meaning that Bio 2 is not registering on the Original target until after Bane, another Instant, is casted.
I believe this to be a programing issue. Any feedback will be great. I'm playing tonight so I may get a video to share.

PS I love SCH 4.0.

All I can say after reading the changes to other jobs and experiencing my own disheartening moments with scholar is shame on you SE. Maybe next time when you try to reinvent your game for a 3rd time do a beta and get feedback before you discourage more people. Nothing I can say about the job has not already been said, just shame on you.

SCH is much more Manna hungry in SB and While Adlo is inefficient in Pugs I have to use it to buy time for Eos and Physik to keep the tank alive. Choices for cross class that's a joke I have five slots four are mandatory and the fifth well eye for eye is probably best in slot for day to day life. yes you gave SCH access to Lucid dream so you nerfed Aeatherflow but by doing so you made it so we had to take Lucid dream. We did to much damage fine, but you hit us in to many spots while giving our role to AST who does it better. With arguably better raid utility as well. While I will continue to play SCH its mostly because I used to like SMN and am holding out hope that both receive help. If not well you lost a healer and it might be for the best if we don't heal maybe just maybe Square will throw us a bone as que times rise.

Just a note.
Beeing watching several EXT kills of Susano and Lakshmi on YT, on all servers (NA, JP and EU) and from what I've seen, like 60-70% of the videos, had a SCH on it, and he had 0 MP issues.

THere is one video in particular, a JP guy playing with controller. Dude heals a lot, dps a lot, and never below 50% MP.

Not saying this with the idea of "nah boyz, SCH is supah fine", more in the way of "I know we've been hit, but we still are fine for the job we gotta do".

I myself, despite the nerf to Aetherflow, thanks to using Lucid Dreaming (I know I know, we are forced to take it because of the nerf to Aether...not talking about that right now) haven't find myself with MP issues, not even with one or two Raise mid combat.

I could only give my experience and I PUG which means I tend to have to use more recourses making up for silly mistakes the tend not to happen in static or EX level parties. this is especially true as my tank might not have the best gear or zerg rush and pull more then they should. when that happen I either keep them alive and hover on empty or I or they make a mistake and we wipe.

No.
Let White Mage have the best personnal dps among healers.
Ast is fine with Malefic at 210 potency before he can buff damages.
Btw, with a 10% aoe balance, Malefic become 231, so...

They don't entirely know how to balance healer but for Stone, Broil and Malefic, they did good.

Can we tweak SCH's dots in any way? The way it was before, you generally casted your dots in the order of longest length to shortest (which was Bio II->Miasma->Bio). As it stands now, you're going to be casting Miasma -> Bio II now because Bio II is instant cast. The problem however is that Bio II is 30s while Miasma is still 24, meaning the timing is all wonky.

Can we either: A) Buff Miasma to 30s uptime, or B) Put Miasma II back in as an upgrade to Miasma to go in corruption mastery (non AoE though), while buffing it to 30s uptime (damage upgrade not too necessary I think). I feel the latter is better because it feels dumb for SMN to jump from Miasma to Miasma 3 just because you wanted us to forget Miasma 2 ever existed.

SMN's dots are both 30s but the misalignment for SCH is driving me nuts.

E: Additionally I fail to see the point of Excogitation. While it would have been extremely useful in heavensward, Stance dancing is no longer a thing and thus, Excogitation just seems like a waste when I have Lustrates right here. It should either have an additional effect, or not cost aetherflow.
