Scholar... SAY WHUT?

[Radacci]

aren't the archons, scholars from Sharlayan? (whatever it's called) so you could learn from them.
since elemental wheel is now, meh, maybe scholar (if it's a bit like in XI) can buff casters, to deal more elemental damage.
would make more sense to add scholar, than RDM, BLU or whatever.

The only real mechanic I hope they bring over from XI is the ability to switch between a healer/nuke role (similar to the Cleric Stance that CNJ has, but more effective) so that it can easily main cure in a raid. Only having 1 healer role means that for every 1 that's levelled means that only 3 other classes could level alongside it. There will be a major lack of CNJs to level with =/

Yeah, if Scholar exists, SE is going to have a lot of clarity edits to make. We currently have scholars down at the Arcanist guild, goblin scholars affixing materia to things, the archons are all scholars from Sharlayan, one of the Twelve is a Scholar with a staff instead of a book... they'll basically have to CTRL+F their database and get cracking, lol.

Yup, they should totally stick with Loremaster as the job name!

I don't see why the existence of the Scholar job suddenly makes use of the word scholar impossible in other situations. I mean, even a travelling Monk can be considered a scholar if he's studious enough. It's still a relevant noun/adjective beyond the specific Job use.
