Scholar is fine for raids and pretty much still the go to. Mana-Management is by far no problem.
Shadowflare is awesome how it is, especially for fights where the bosses disappear/need to be moved very often.(Its even stronger if you count in that you can broil 2 times instead of wasting gcd to cast shadowflare)
Embrace scale way differently than our normal heals. Embrace is still strong, and its free compared to the hots from ast/whm.
Adlo -> since MP isn't an issue... why reverting it? It should be used for tbs and hard hitting aoe (spread) not as just a better heal than physic.

This doc is just a pile of bullshit... its just a "mimimi make my class op plx" of someone who doesn't knew how to play Scholar befor Stormblood anyway.
First of all I am level seventy and have been for a few days, I've mained Scholar since launch four years ago, and even played in beta with a breaks here and there as everyone has taken. So I know what Scholar was like in ARR AND Heavensward in the dungeon aspect, the trial aspect and raiding aspect. Astrologian's single target shield is instant with no cast time and shields for more than Scholar's Adlo which has a cast time. Astrologian's AoE Shield is stronger than Scholar's Succor, Astrologian's bubble shield is stronger than Sacred Soil. They get Bole Card for even more mititgation, but yet Scholar is and has always been the main shield and mitigation healer but Astrlogian can do everything we can do but better at all. I never stated it was all about dungeons and AoE damage?? That was merely ON TOP of AST having better shields and damage mitigation in every department. So I don't appreciate your false assumptions.
