Concise Scholar 4.0 feedback

It's really not, especially since all you'd need to do is replace Silent Dawn with something actually useful to increase Selene's use in the current meta. Let's be honest.

Yeah, that's the kind of little boost I was talking about.

A spell on the same cycle as chain stratagem that also give raid damage, even just a little, could make Selene become more interesting to consider. The silence currently serves absolutly no purpose with new role abilty and MNK stun.

Mhm, and it would actually make the choice between Selene and Eos and actual choice again. Especially in later patches to come as Selene has always scaled better the further into a patch cycle we get.

I love Scholar, but I worry about its future with its current toolkit. Sorry, wasn't sure if I needed to make a new thread or not, and put off by the 1000 character limit (that I just found out how to bypass; thanks RyuDragnier!)


Fairies seem slower to react than ever. Selene's utility is weak. Fey Union takes too long to cast. The heals from Embrace go almost unnoticed.

Excogitation needs some work. Either; higher potency, longer/removed duration, the ability to 'detonate' early, or to do something as it expires (%based heal like Essential Dignity?).

Adlo/Succor should have their costs reverted, or potencies buffed. NoctAst's shield outshines Adlo - cheaper/stronger/instant.

Buff Chain Strat to 20% for 30s, or reduce cooldown.

Lack of AoE DPS is noticeable in dungeons, especially amongst players who like doing it. Give us a Holy/Gravity equivalent.

Yeah Scholars can clear current content, they're 'viable'. But it's a chore now, when it used to be fun. It almost feels like the devs don't want SCH in the game anymore.

In raid environments though, their AoE dps doesn't really matter at all. I do like that there's more emphasis on healing this time around, but their new tools are iffy. Mana isn't a problem for me but Adlo compared to AspBene is irksome, fairy or not.
