Scholar Aetherflow Issues

[tikiwiki]

I still feel like an aetherflow dump that gives a buff of some kind to a single target or debuff to the enemy on a short cooldownwould be more interesting for Scholar than Energy Drain. It does the exact same thing of converting unwanted stacks to DPS, but still requires strategic use in terms of maximising the buff effect (who gets out the most out of this?) or debuff effect (which enemy do I want do debuff, what will the timing be, etc).

As for extra MP management, while I haven’t had too many issues with mp as a Scholar (mostly thanks to Recitation lol), what if they made Dissipation restore a large amount of MP (like 50% or something) to give it more weight as an ‘emergency use’ tool? Either that, or how about a DPS spell that’s on the GCD like Osmose with low potency (like 50-100), but restores mp instead of consuming it? That way Scholars can still have a damage focus if they’re low on MP. Something like that would allow it to be used more strategically than the old Energy Drain because it has to be weaved into healing rather than happening simultaneously. Like whether you want to use it immediately for a small bit of mp, or spam for lots, to prepare for using lots of Succor / Adlo, etc etc

sounds like youre suggesting the boring astro cards for sch at the top and sch doesnt have mp issues rn due to the current gear have a ridiculous amount of piety forced on it
