Scholar... SAY WHUT?

[Vilhem]

Ferne is trolling...he does that with each rumor. He mentioned the "face north, during 100% moon" etc rumor from XI in one of the earlier blog posts. It's how he rolls and doesn't confirm anything.

Whhhy is this still being discussed!? Let's just sssh and wait, shall we? =b

I think it's more important to just not commit to a side than to not talk about it at all with matters like these, but I'll give you this: yes, almost every single one of these threads is chock full of people not reading the thread, stating one of the two over-stated dead-horse-beating points of evidence, and then their idea of what it means, lol.

I guess =b It's just the same points over and over and over again and people saying "It's obviously this, because [add cliché remark]". Everything everyone says is contradicting and it's just frustrating not knowing the truth!

She unlocked Scholar from Arcanist and is now running w/ the big boys! and dyed her hair for white to blonde in the process?

I think the change in colour is simply a product of the artwork having a slightly orange tinge to it. You can tell especially by looking at how orange her skin is.

She was just not lucky. They told her to not stand to long behind the Great Buffalo XD lollllll

And Einstein said: Insanity is the act of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Which pretty much sums up these threads!

Eh let's be honest, it's the Scholar Job. They needed to ensure that there was a healthy choice between castors, melee, and support classes.

[Tonkra]

Arcanist is going to be the first class with 2 job options.

arcanist being a hybrid between pet class / debuff class

he specializes by equipping the job stones of:

arcanist -> scholar (specialization into debuff/enfeebling)
arcanist -> summoner (specialization into pets and summoning)

and for what are jobs for`? specialization. and then it makes sense that summoner is not going to have access to carbuncle anymore, because scholar wont so either.


the new artwork would be quiet inconsistent just showing jobs on that artwork and then a class.. and since when the classes do wear job specific artifact gear, which is clearly a scholar AF.

very unlikely. And yoshida also said everytime that there are too less mage classes/jobs in the game.


and also... if it is going to be like in 1.0. and the jobs just coming along with 5 new exklusive skills, and knowing that summoner is going to have 4 summons (4 new skills).. he would just have one new skill left for the debuffer role.. which is also very unlikely.

i think the summoner is getting 5 new skills:
- ifrit
- garuda
- titan (?)
- fourth summon which is unknown
- fifth skill is going to be something like astral flow (trait), to use the special abillity of the summons

and scholar is going to have new 5 debuff skills .. something like:
- a trait that converts the next debuff skill into an aeo effect
- debuff / absorb attb or whatever
- debuff /absorb attb
- damage / debuff spell (which debuffs the element of their dmg skill) - something like the thaumaturge had in 1.0. in the very beginning
- damage spell (life drain or whatever)

One thing I notice about rebuffed classes is, what do they do when the mob has boss immunity? (As in, they resist certain spells outright, or have high resistance overall)
