Small Emergency Tactics change would make Scholar perfect

[Riyshn]

You're still treating SCH like a reactive healer when it's supposed to predominantly mitigate.

I will go back to believing that when SE makes it so AST doesn't do that better and cheaper. I don't care if it means AST gets nerfed or SCH gets buffed, but right now AST is by far the better at mitigation. SCH on the other hand has oGCD heals out the wazoo with the new Quickened Aetherflow.

SCH does still have to plan out their heals because Aetherflow is still a limited resource, but we have much more there than before.

Edit for math: The main argument for SCH's place as the mitigation healer seems to be Deployment Tactics. Without a Critlo, Deployment Tactics puts a 300p shield on everyone effected, on a 90sec recast. Compare to NocAST's Acpected Helios. Aspected Helios has a cure potency of 200p, plus the 15% boost from Noct and it comes out to 230p. The Noct shield is 150%, which brings the shield potency up to 345p, and this is on the GCD.

Now it's true that a Critlo Deploy is an 840p shield on everyone, but that's then relying on random crits, which we have no way to guarantee and are far too expensive to fish for now.

Aspected Benefic vs Adlo is even worse, at 575p vs 300p. Even with crits Adlo barely comes out ahead at 805p vs 840p.

(Numbers are assuming a crit multiplier of +40%, which is the most common number I see floated around.)
