I'm fine with aetherflow personally they could easily work that so any unused charges boost the faerie gauge..

It is the faerie gauge thats my biggest tissue with scholar. As as it stands its kinda useless..

Atherpact is clunky as hell and blessing is on such a long cooldown. So you spend soxmuch time sitting on 80+ gauge and nothing to do with it.

An idea I had was to tie the gauge to Seraph.

Rather than having a static duration for her when summoned have her drain the gauge slowly but allow embraces to also charge it a little bit.

In this way scholar's would be able to have to get sone pet control back and with good management be able to keep seraph active longer. Which might then make that second charge of veil actually more useful. As you don't often need 2 in quick succession.

Psychik I can handle being weak. Scholar's are meant to shield.
What I would like to see is deployment tactics spreading catalyse as well as galvanise. Or at least a bigger shield on adlo or something to make deoyment tactics actually worthwhile since currently its just easier to use succor under illumination for aoe Shields.

Maybe deployed Shields could add a wardens paeon style esuna buff I dunno.
