Consolidated Scholar 4.0 Feedback Thread

I hate that people keep making the Embrace=Regen comparison. It's really not equivalent. Yeah, it's free. This makes up for SCH having generally lower healing potencies at higher costs than the other healers. It is not however, a true replacement for a regen. The key difference being that you can have more than 1 regen going on more than 1 person at a time. The only thing SCH has that fits this is Whispering Dawn, which is gated being a ~30% uptime and at the whims of the pet AI.

Oh, yea... because WHM/AST are useing regen on every target they can get.
Also you forgot Fey Covenant and Fey Illumation if you want to compare it that way.

Adlo MP is most definitely an issue. I imagine it will get better as ilvl increases with Piety now being apparently a bigger healer thing, but at the moment, at least while leveling, it literally costs more than Aetherflow returns. Our core mechanic costs more than our built-in MP management tool gives us. This is not acceptable.

It is, just accept that you have to make use of lucid dreaming. And Adlo isnt the core mechanic of Scholar.

Not every target possible, no, but both tanks and maybe a DPS who just got hit by a mech? And at the same time? Yes.
Ah, I assume you're referring to Inferior Bole and Unreliable Mantra?
(EDIT: Rechecked numbers, "Inferior Bole" is slightly unfair; different use cases. Bole is 20% or 10% AoE and works for all damage, FC is 20% AoE but only works for magic.)

It... is, actually. Until AST got overbuffed because reasons, SCH's defining thing was the shields. Which I suppose you're right, the core mechanic is Aetherflow, not Adlo. So I'll revise: Our MP management skill (Which also happens to be our core mechanic) is no longer enough to cover the cost of our defining skill.

I will accept that that is what SE has decided to do to the job, and I have no direct power to change it. That does not mean I will be happy about it or stop trying to make a case that it was a mistake.
