Bio II - Miasma - Swiftcast - Shadowflare - Bio - Aero - Broil - Lustrate - Succor party before raid wide hits - manually direct Eos to heal someone who got hit harder - Wait for it - Fey Illummination/Bio II - Bio/ Whispering Dawn - Virus/Sacred Soil - Aero/Manual Embrace Target - Broil - Broil - Broil - etc.

Way more complicated than now, I assure you. The fact that we can no longer simultaneously active fairy abilities with other abilities kills the complexity further right there.

It wasn't that hard tbh in ARR times

U press a single button to apply a set of "dots" which u reverted back to using "ruin" spam whilst "reapplying" a dot back to its duration which was every 18seconds

So it would have been like this in ARR times

Cleric stance ON

Bio ll > Bio l > Miasma> Aero > Ruin spam for 15seconds > start to reapply all dots back to 18seconds > back to ruin spam for 15 seconds

Scholar was the only healer who could permanently stay in cleric stance

And press these skills between them since these was all "ogcd"

Shadowflare or sacred soil (can't have both)
rouse / whispering dawn/ energy drain/ aetherpact / fey illumination / fey dust/ fey whisper

Everything else was no different then it is today, shadowflare was unique because u could NOT use shadowflare and sacred soil at the same time because it removed the other

The only thing that was different from now and then was....scholar had way more control over their fairy, by using "rouse" to boost its healing ability and can "manually" select embrace to players (was not a good thing) so scholars most of the time was micromanaging their fairy more back then rather then what they do now

Do I miss ARR scholar? Nope
Do I want ARR scholar back? Nope

It was not fun to play ARR scholar it was VERY annoying to play trying to maintain dots in fights, whilst near double weaving spells between gcds, and if the boss became immune or did a "jump" majority of Ur potency was lost because of "dots"......and this is without all the cleric stance which if u press that at the wrong time....Ur screwed cause u couldn't heal

hey, we don't do that here

Be ready to be told you're "severely misinformed" by our scholar queen FoxCh40, whose endless bitching and whining has granted succor to her faithful followers in these trying times.

The glory days and the sovereignty of scholar back to heavensward should never be questioned.
