Uh, actually, yeah. The Scholar is proving to be a nightmare to balance because of the fairy. In ARR/HW, it was too strong. In SB, it's too weak. If it's for easier balance, then the fairy should go and behave more like a stance. This also would have the side effect of reducing the gap between the floor and ceiling since I still see so many Scholars keep their fairies on Sic/Follow, meaning Eos is using cooldowns willy-nilly and not casting Embrace efficiently. Another thing people complain about is the Pet AI putting skills in a queue, attacking/healing wrong targets, one pet is clearly better than the others, no Sustain to keep our pets alive, and, though this is a Summoner only problem, Bahamut doesn't exist on the field.

If we put Embrace back at 300 potency, all of those other problems would exist, but that wouldn't matter since Scholar wouldn't have to heal and crank out more DPS, making White Mage outclassed again.
