#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

I mean if nothing else, this goes to show that they tried something, it didn't work, and so they reversed it and then tried something else. That is, any way you slice it, a good thing. They are trying to make improvements[...]

Wait until you know at the dawn of 6.0 launch when they openly says "We don't know what to do with Scholars" in a Live Letter while also accounting the immense number of feedbacks they've received up to that point. Just another disappointment that this team has demonstrated.

[...]And I still feel like there are enough unique differences in skills and playstyle that its not accurate to say that SCH without ED is the same as SGE. But, I don't think we're going to agree on that one. And that's ok! Just don't make fun of me for playing "scholar for babies" and I'll be a happy little Sage.

That we are. I also don't think anybody was making fun of people who likes current SGE as it is. At the end of the day, my greatest issue with SGE as a whole is they weren't what we were promised to get & it didn't have enough distinction to make me feel like I'm playing a different barrier healer. A lot my SCH/SGE hotkeys are mapped very similarly:

• Physis - Whispering Dawn
• Kerachole - Sacred Soil
• Ixochole - Indomitability
• Taurochole - Excogitation
• Rhizomata - Recitation
• Krasis - Protraction
• Druochole - Lustrate
• Panhaima - Summon Seraph/Consolation
• Philosophia - Seraphism
• Phlegma I/II/III - Ruin II
• Psyche - Aetherflow

That's a lot 'bread and butter' buttons covered already, not incl. their fillers and role actions but I'm not going to look at them for the moment. My personal expectation when they introduced the job in their 5.4 teaser was more like today's SGE but without the entire addersgall gauge with more robustly designed Kardia system. PvP SGE is one step ahead in that front: Dosis III kardia triggers the maintenance regen HoT. E.Dosis III triggers E.Diag shield on Kardion partner, which can be broken to give Toxikon II that deals 2 times (at its inception) the amount of regular Dosis III casts.

Now what would I kill to have E.Pneuma, E.Phlegma, with all differing Kardion effect... hahahahah fat wish, lmao.
