I just don't like how Scholars are defined - people say White Mages are reactive, someone gets damaged someone gets healed, and Scholars are preventative, we bubble, they don't take damage. It would be true, if we could constantly bubble people without going oom. In 8 man content I never bother using Adlo on the tanks because one hit will eat up the damage anyways unless I crit, which you can never rely on. I feel like we need some more utility to really fill the role we are supposed to be. Free procs on succor/adlo, proccing guaranteed crits with adlo/succor, that sort of thing. Maybe make our overheals bubble a target for the amount overhealed so there is actually a use in spamming embrace manually other than quicker heals.

As it stands we are the ultimate reactionary healing class. We spam Embrace manually so when the tank takes damage he instantly has a heal on him, then we use Physick as quick as we can. In 4 man content Adlo starts proving its worth a little more when the damage is a bit toned town and the AoE damage is actually preventable with some bubbling. In 8 mans the best it's used for pre-casting succor before AoE damage to prevent damage, and using it after so the WHM doesn't have to use Medica as many times.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Scholar, but the mechanics so far are a little underwhelming, our traits don't do anything for us, and our class defining feature - bubbles - are a little underwhelming, unless you crit
