Now I'm not saying the tool tips couldn't be a bit more accurate, but it's not entirely the same thing as the pet potencies.
    Pet potencies are constant too, so I'm unsure why you chose that as your second difference between them. Pet potency is just as consistent and irrelevant in the long run.

    The actual main difference from things like Astral Fire is that the potency listed in the tooltip for pets is actually accurate. It's just that the end result is calculated based on the pet's stats instead of yours which in turn are based on your stats. It's not quite as simple as just changing the potency number that is displayed on the pet's ability tooltips since that number is technically accurate. A note about pet stats on the Summon I and Summon II tooltips would be nice, of course.

    Someone in SE really watched youtube on the second screen instead of DOING THEIR OWN JOB.
    This sounds like someone just watched a youtube video about Scholar instead of actually playing the job.

    Scholar is not in some hyperbolic bad shape. It is perfectly functional and able to do any content with ease. The main issues with it aren't even Scholar specific. I.e. pet clunkiness and healer dps rotations being boring. Aside from those two things, there's very little that needs adjusting. The only thing I can think of is making it less of a dps loss to weave oGCD and use Aetherflow for healing instead of Energy drain but that's a relatively small issue compared to the other two things.
