Sch wishlist for 5.0

[FusionSamurai]

There is so much here that just doesn't work or make sense.Scholar needs nerfs. It is the best/most influential job in the game by a mile. While there are some cool ideas here, some would need to be met with nerfs to their other skills to reduce the overall gain from bringing SCH. SCH currently invalidates the existence of Nocturnal AST, as it does everything the latter does, but better.

There is no such thing as "main" or "off" healer. There are two healers that use their tools to minimize required healing overall and get to the highest possible DPS output. That idea should have died a LONG time ago.

Level 72: Embrava (Aetherflow): Next healing magic spell will be a critical hit.

This 100% HAS to come with a nerf to Adlo. RNG critlos already break the game as is, we don't need them guaranteed. Either remove the 200% effect from critical adlo or at least nerf it significantly to compensate. Its a cool idea, but it has to be met with reasonable adjustments to affected skills.

Level 74: Meltdown Mastery (trait): Miasma II-> Kaustra (Meltdown). AoE 150 potency with 50 potency/tick DoT.

I don't really have anything against this. My only gripe is that it is 100% a buff to SCH's DPS and makes weaving with it even better. It doesn't really change anything about how we play, its just damage for the sake of giving us more damage, which isn't good design.

Level 76: Sublimation (trait): During Rouse, Embrace becomes AoE.

This is super cool as an idea, but I wouldn't do it on rouse. It is too good to exist. They would need to make it reduced embraces for the duration. It would be stronger than Medica II or Aspected Helios HoTs, but it would be completely free. That would be a bit too strong. A skill to do this for a few seconds would be really cool though.

I hope they delete rouse, as its not a particularly interesting skill in the grand scheme of things. Its just a button you press on cooldown unless you have union on/coming up.

Level 78: Modus Veritas

I don't see this being implemented, as there aren't many things like it in the game already.

Level 80: Tabula Rasa (trait): Disappation no longer consumes your Fairy, just locks use of Embrace/Pet Abilities)

I think this kinda removes the skill behind Dissipation. The reward from it is really small, and knowing when/how to use it to maximize its benefit feels really good overall.

A cool idea would be to keep the MP cost on Summon, but make it off the GCD, so you can switch between fairies at will. It would completely change the play style of SCH, allowing us to bounce between fairies. Would also make dissipation a bit easier to use, as you don't lose a GCD resummoning her. Adjust fairy abilities to make them a bit more...tactical? Letting us constantly swap would be super cool.
