SCH: Deployment tactics slight adjustment request.

[Brandedblade]

Don't worry, nobody does. Don't think even SE does.



It really is a criminally underutilized skill for what unique things Scholar can and could do. With E4E gone and a critted deoplyed Galv shielding less than eight of a tank's hp, and like a fifth of a healer's, with the introduction of the kneecap injury called Catalyze SE's coined phrasing SCH as "shield healer" is awfully quaint.

As much as I love my inconveniences of waiting a second to deploy, having to combo Recitation into DT could force a spreaded 250% Galvanize shield originate from your target or yourself and would maybe stop people being tripped up from server ticks not registering there is a shield on your target resulting in "DT has no effect."

Despite having a ton of utility hacked out there is the hope that we could see more skills work in different combinations both offensively, restorative and supportive. ET already has short cooldown and the Fey Gauge is just beeing to have more meaningful use.

First off I'm going to start with OP. It's true that deployment tactics has some issues with reactability, unfortunately until that's addressed, the best you can do is learn to be more preemptive and space out your abilites.

Now for the post I quoted.

The whole point of nerfing critlo the way they have is because SCH now has Recitation to give a guaranteed critlo. There was no way we where getting that cooldown without critlo being nerfed.

Critlo was balanced around the rng of critical heals, and now that rng can be mitigated. Which makes it way to powerful. I can give an example, in O9s deploying a critlo during the earth phase completely nullifies the debuff tanks and healers get that requires them to be healed for full. Whereas the dps arent harmed by it if they fail their mechanic properly because they'll take more then enough damage irregardless.

Tl;dr Critlo was too strong of a mechanic and had to be nerfed in order for Recitation+Deploy make fights a joke (or if your a 'good player', even more of one)
