Scholar 5.0 Discussion

[Billythepancake]

It was never a risk/reward job to begin with. Its just how most people wants to view it as. Otw ur a greedy sch that doesnt know how to utlize and create tunnel vision.
Well it is a personal matter anyways. I never found sch that difficult. SCH sure was my type of playstyle but it has not changed THAT much.
Besides my Aetherflow only went for Indom and ED back in HW and SB. May reraly occasion with Exco depends on the fight.
I do agree on fairy part tho. Also i added a slight sarcasm on my last words on pre post about the healing kit... .

I may be one of those with unpopular opinions but hey. The likes on this forum arent accurate.

It was very much a risk and reward job, the more you learned to optimize and where to heal less, the more EDs you got, if you got too greedy though, you screwed yourself out of a free heal and either had to heal with a GCD or let someone die, it was a lovely system. And I honestly cannot say it feels the same with what it lost, yes, it was classified as a healer but most people I've met agreed that it was fun because it was the healer/dps hybrid. Its rotation wasnt complex, but it had a rotation! It's main resource was for dps and healing, and while I never had the pleasure of trying HW, I hear about how wonderful it was and truly being able to be a dps/healer hybrid. Now scholar is nothing but broil machine 3000 with half a dozen unnecessary heals (physick, Fey blessing, seraph, the HoT on sacred, or just sacred in general honestly, Fey union, and a lot will argue for dissipation, which ironically would've been great this expac if we still had ED, go figure) not to say any of those abilities are entirely useless, they're certainly not, but remove them and I doubt any scholar would have trouble healing any content.
