Consolidated Scholar 4.0 Feedback Thread

Has SE said anything acknowledging the state that SCH are in?

Because I'll be honest, as things are now the state of SCH is likely to lose them my sub. I was increasingly worried as more info about Healer role actions and SCH changes specifically came out in the lead up to Stormblood, but trusted SE to design encounters in a way that made sense with the changes as part of their vision for the game going forward. The more I play and hear from others though, the more clear it becomes that either no one actually tested SCH during Stormblood development, or said vision of the game's future does not include the SCH I've grown to love playing in it.

So Square, if you're reading this; I sincerely hope you can show recognition of SCH's many new issues by 7/15. Not asking for actual fixes in that time frame, just that we know you guys know that there is a problem. Otherwise I will most likely be dropping my sub, and you will have lost both my money and good will going forward.

Sure they'll survive.
Why not trying another healer in the meantime? In a multi-class game, I don't get why some people have 0 will to be flexible and try something else...

I can't speak with that guy, but frankly, I'm so disgusted by the nerfs SCH got, and the buffs AST got (I swear it feels like borderline favortism to me the more I look at them) that I refuse to play AST right now. I was actually going to give a shot too,but not anymore.

I understand this even less haha. I've been a SCH from 2.0 as it was fun, rewarding to play and needed in my group.
Now it feels nerfed so I play AST in the meantime. What matters is that you help your group and have fun no?
Pretty sure they'll tweak the job before raid time due to player feedback.
So no need to resign. Just play another job in the meantime and enjoy the content.

And I've been a SCH since 2.0 as well. It's probably my favorite job in the entire game. But am I supposed to just dump it and move to AST? I'm not resigning so to speak, I just want my favorite job to not be bad.

I think it's a fundamental difference in playstyle, here. It sounds like you're playing the job because it's strong. I play SCH because I enjoy SCH, and SE seems to be working to destroy that.
