Something I just realized about the new melee SCH skill.

So while browsing some reddit posts and seeing all the wonderful SCH memes, I still cry at night, something dawned on me. Shouldn't a skill that boosts speed have been given to AST and not SCH? I mean think about it, what does a SCH have to do with speed, ASTs are the ones who manipulate time and such, shouldn't they have gotten that skill. It fits more with their theme.

It's because of Scholar's overlap with Orator. It doesn't show through the localization well, but SCH is kinda dual themed as both a fairy user and a battle tactician.
A skill that helps everyone adjust their position is def in line with this.

AST on the other hand... they've been minimizing/removing all aspects of it's time powers. Currently one of the biggest remaining examples of it's time powers is... some offhanded fluff in its job quest dialogue.

Just like giving WHM gigantic fairy wings. . .

Now you're getting it, lol

It does come through in the localization, the SCH quests specifically states this. They are military tacticians, and most of their outfits are Military uniforms as well.

It was more a joke about how since AST has time themed skills, giving them a speed buff would make more sense.

Well rejoice then.
If that 'image that should not be named' was actually a real deal, they get exactly that.

Either way we'll see for sure eventually.

There will be no rejoicing unless Dissipation is ripped from the aether and set ablaze by the ire of SCHs past, lol.
