Scholar has the worst design of any job in the game, and here's why.

Yeah you do because you are never going to use Aldo again

It's nothing to do with Adlo, you're saving Recitation... Why blow it on the opener where the extra shield size isn't needed when Reci is a free crit Excog or Indom that can be assigned somewhere more useful during the early fight. If you failed to crit-fish an Adlo, normal spread-adlo is still generally fine.
