As a scholar main I do miss having two different faeries to choose from, one healed and one did a buff and helped be an extra status remover :3 In other words I miss having the choice of choosing my fairy for the fights my party would be involved in. There were choices and now they just seemed like they were taken away.

The heals are nice, like always our burst heals are lovely but...I don't really like the restriction of having to be in combat or have to heal to activate my aetherflow. Usually I always cast a adlo on the tank before the fight begins, so it's not a big deal ,however, again the freedom restriction seems to weigh heavy. Maybe I'm being a baby about it too, I dunno

I understand that the Dev team wants healers to heal but they shouldn't work so hard to rip out the class roots that made it unique. I'm not saying I hate all the changes to the class it just feels like Scholar got grounded and not allowed to play outside.

At least give us energy drain and bane back those were actually useful. Mp replenish and a dot spreader to save on mp. They're quick and take no time at all away from healing.

p.s
taking away protect and eye for an eye seemed silly, of course we have to heal more if you take away helpful shields
