And they "fixed" Fey Union. Now its even more useless.

Well let's be fair, It's pretty obvious that one was going to be taken care of.

That ability is far from useless fixed or not.

[Emitans]

That ability is far from useless fixed or not.

The healing output from it is pretty low considering how long it takes to build up the gauge. I feel like the entire job was nerfed because of this one ability and its not powerful enough to make up for it.

Plus how buggy and finicky it is, being a pet ability.

Which brings up a question, why do we obtain a fairy ability and not the fairies..

According to YoshiP job rebalancing is planned to start with 4.05 when Omega savage hits. Right now all they're doing is bug fixes and enmity adjustments.

Except they buffed drk and brd skills and id hope a skill with as many functional issues as fey union would have been considered a skill that needed adjustment

Enkindle for a sch except much less functional than enkindle

It also worries me that the only mention healers get in that entire blurb is a mention of how 270 strength accessories make our lives harder and not the necessary balances that need to be made. It somewhat implies that they see the current status of SCH to be working as intended, which further makes me believe that no one on the development team honestly understands how this class works or what most SCH mains actually WANT.

[Fricca]

After playing for a while these are some of the things I would like to be adjusted:

Excogitation: 2-3 ticks, when target's hp goes on or below 50%.

Emergency Tactics: Sure crit, insta cast (insta cast is optional, but I can dream, right?).

Quickened Aetherflow: Higher proc and/or higher cooldown reduction.

Lustrate: Proc: Has 25% more chance that your next Adloquium would crit.

Indomitability: Proc: Has 25% more chance that your next Succor would crit.

Make Fey Union trigger a little less clunky.

Bring old bane back, kthx.

[Scox]

We were hit with the need bat pretty hard this expansion. First our adlo is weaker then astro, cost more manna and has a cast time. Shields are suppose to be out thing, they should have given us an instant cast shield instead that crappy excog. Or at least buff Excog. up some. A potency of 650 compared to 600 on lustrate is laughable. The potency should be around 800 or even 850 if nothing else, and with no cool down. Next is out fairy nerf, embrace didn't need a reduction in potency. Eye for an eye is directly tied into our deployment tactics yet it's a role ability, that makes no sense. We should get a major buff to using Eye for an eye, the cool down should be the same as deployment tactics for SCH. Please rework the useless ability dissipation, From what I read , when 3.0 was in testing dissipation was very strong and they nerfed it into the ground into what we have. Perhaps take it back to what 3.0 beta was or remove it and give us another skill all together, while you're at it and give us back our AOE miasma 2 or something similar. Lastly, the nerf to bane is just too much. Bane gave us the ability to help DPS large groups, this effect is felt by summoners as well. Bane is all but useless now. Put the potency back to where it was in 3.0. I feel like our identity has been stolen from us. I mean, we used to be the mitigation, shield healers who helped backup DPS. Now our DPS is horrible and shields are better done by Astros, that leaves us as the redheaded step children of the healers.

I go to lunch at around 1am, using my lunch time and the time from breaks I missed (Quality Control, so I feel like I need to handle things before I take a break), so I can go to my car to eat, and with the hopes and dreams of seeing just a little bit of polishing before any major changes.

Oh man! I see some potency buffs! Oh man! I see enmity buffs! Hm...nothing. Maybe if I just scroll down a bit... An issue wherein the scholar action Fey Union would always restore critical HP under certain conditions.

Ugly crying in parking lot with my sandwich in my mouth
The ONLY thing that I liked! All that time I invested into getting that gauge and popping it on the tank after they had planted themselves for that big pull they just had and them getting healed for 8-9k every 3 secs gave me the time I wanted to do those deeps! This was the best thing done to Sch this expansion (and it was an accident)! Sure, Fey Union is clunky as hell, but when you can get it to work, it is absolutely magical! Why do you not love us anymore, Yoshi!?
