SCH: Incorperating it's PvP design into PvE?

[RyuDragnier]

I actually wouldn't mind this for SCH. It gives importance to your fairy in battle and not just extra healing that at time feels negligible. The only issue I see is Fey Union? Would it still cost gauge or would it use a new separate resource? Also I would completely remove Energy Drain and just replace it with Aura Burst (PvP ability)

I would have Fey Union instead be a buff given when you use Dissipation. The fairy basically "joins" with you, increasing healing, spell speed and giving 50 gauge. An "OH CRAP" button that is actually useful. The fairy would of course resummon the second the duration ends. Because as mean as this is...Fey Union as is sadly is forgettable and not very useful in most cases (assuming both healers are competent).

>Embrace is so weak and useless

Lol, it's two THOUASAND healing potency per minute that requires zero mana, neither GCD nor weave window, and retargets itself if it would overheal. And that's after accounting for the 33% pet tax.

That will hit the person with the lowest HP percentage that you have 0 control over. I don't know about you, but I'd prefer if Embrace was controlled again so it could be used on the person who actually needs it the majority of the time, the tank. I don't need embrace healing DPS, me, or other healers when it's the tank who we need alive.

That's an unfortunate functionality loss to Embrace to be sure. But weak? Embrace is a ridiculously powerful healing tool and always has been. Just because its individual casts look small doesn't mean it's not one of the biggest contributors to how OP Scholar has been historically. The amount of uptime it enables for both healers is massive.

Embrace was crazy strong in Stormblood. It was nerfed in Shadowbringers, but is still very respectable. In potency terms, it's roughly equivalent to a free Excog every 25 seconds. I notice it more when it's not there.

I don't like charges on abilties for Scholar. Right now with Aetherflow you can sit on 3 charges and have Aetherflow ready for an immediate 3 more, and then disappate for another 3 all in the span of 30 seconds. Wall to wall pull done and done. Charges just don't let you burst heal the same way. Saving resources and spending them efficiently is literally what being a battle tactician is all about. Thematically and practically I really dislike having every ability turned into charges. Give me Quickened Aetherflow back please. It was THE best.

Dissipation in Shadowbringers is sort of functionally equivalent to Quickened Aetherflow. QA gave you four Aetherflow stacks per minute. Using Dissipation on cooldown also gives you four stacks per minute on average. (Using Diss on cooldown wasn't really viable in StB because you had to manually resummon fairy.)
