Consolidated Scholar 4.0 Feedback Thread

I just want my Sustain back. It's hurting solo play at lower levels, physick can barely make a dent.

Mained SCH since 2.0 and wanted to give some feedback regarding current toolkit.
The experience was based on the extreme trials and deltascape.

Dissipation requires some tweaking. I would suggest to add some MP recovery based on current Fey gauge maybe? to compensate back the MP required to resummon the fairy.

Adlo not being used as so frequent as per compared to 3.0 for obvious reason. Probably only used during dungeon pre-pull and Adlo + Deployment for room wide aoe mitigation.

Excog, one of the skills that was underutilized. The wasted aetherflow stack is too much for a penalty. The only time I use these was during Susan Ex stormsplitter tank buster. But your co-heal probably already pre-cast Cure II so it is pretty much not needed :/

Fey Union/Aetherpact, range too short. Else probably will be very useful during Susan Ex second phase when one of the tank eating the blue orb.

I was dumb enough to put Dissipation in the spot I used for Sustain... kept hitting it thinking I was healing my fairy.

I just want to chime in on this.

Fairy abilities really need to be thoroughly looked at. I for one really miss Selene's "Fey Light and Fey Glow" Especially if you kept her on sic. You always had one or the other up at all times. Not sure why SE removed them. Silliest decision they made. Why are all Fairy abilities on such long CD's anyway. Honestly when I first saw the fairy gauge I thought all the fairy abilities would play into it. For ex "Whispering Dawn would cost 25 points in the gauge etc" Which will make the abilities spam worthy but must have the points in the gauge to use them. I don't think it would make them overpowered because the fairy is now pretty weak anyway. The fairy gauge should have more use than just one ability. Make all abilities use the fairy gauge.

Continuation:

Chain Stratagem I honestly do not like it. I mean it's PvP version is amazing. So maybe they should rethink that. Our healing is so low potency wise, it's just ridiculous. Adlo is a joke now and so is Succour. Indom is still good but a 30 sec CD is just bad seeing as it cost a Aetherflow. Emergency tactics needs it's CD reduced as well. Exoc needs to be changed to something more worth it. In 8 mans it is just tough to use as there is a second healer and tanks using their own tankbusters. It is a waste of a Aetherflow. Maybe it should not even cost an Aetherflow to be honest. Fey union is nice but I think either one or 3 things should happen. The fairy should follow the player it is tethered to, it should be 20y instead of 10 or it should be an Aoe healing tether for the 10y and stationary fairy. Dissipation do not even get me started on this ability lol. I still never use it. I agree that Fey union and Dissipation does not work together int he SCH kit at all.

Final Thoughts:

I think SE took most of their time on tanks and the new jobs and some of the dps jobs and healers were just rushed. SE said Healers would be refreshing to play and honestly they are not. SCH has allot of issues. They saved WHM "Sorta" and OP Astro and definitely dropped the ball on SCH. I hope Yoshi P mentions this in the live letter in 10 days. Because they definitely screwed SCH and this is just on the healing portion of the job.

Either way SE really needs to look at SCH and we need some serious changes. Hopefully in 4.05 we will see a new SCH born. SE did say they are looking at feedback and listening to the player base so fingers crossed.
