Future of the Scholar (Helios)

A 3rd Fey should not be able to do direct DPS, nor should it put Bards out of business.

I don't think I ever said it should put bards out of business. It should be lower potency, have short durations of 30 sec and a cool down and should not be able to stack with bards abilities. This way when caught in a group w/o a bard you can still gain these effects in some way. But I still believe they should add these skills to another class since it makes bards very highly sought after and no class should have a monopoly on anything that unique and powerful. Adding them to a fairy is a good place since if a bard is present we have selene and eos, no bard we can provide the option of using it.

I dont think I ever said you either. TP/MP restore should not be given to SCHs, 1st just makes us more OP and more of a monopoly class, other classes need to manage their own resources, and if this is for the benefit of WHMs that pretty ridiculous

I disagree that it would make us "more" op. I don't feel we are OP for one thing and secondly I stand by my opinion on no class having unique abilities. Abilities like the bard songs really should be found on at least one other class and while I don't think we will get new summons (for sch or smn) *if* we do I think a fairy would be a good place to stick them. If you want to bring up other classes managing their resources then SE already disagrees with you since they have added skills to assist in resource management and it has made them a staple of any raid or group. All I am saying is they need to spread them to another class and where better than a class (SCH) that already plays a support role (Eos magic res.+mini group wide divine seal and Selene spell/skill speed+silence) while fulfilling their main role (healing)? Seems like a no brainer to me.

1. healing pet
2. support pet
3. debuff pet

makes more sense.
since we already have blind/slow/silence, we could add paralyze and possibly dispel.

I love when players delve into mythology. Helios would be a nice addition and a male fairy would be great! As others have said, I think he should focus on debuffs. Eos is already for healing and Selene for support. We have to remember that when the level cap increases, those two fairies will likely receive new abilities as well. The third fairy should fill an entirely different role.

As for the debuffs, I think a determination down ability would be great. We are all about mitigating damage and we could use such an ability to great effect. It would need to be on a fairly long CD considering that they already nerfed Virus to keep that debuff from being cycled constantly. The second ability could provide increased resistance to all party members against status ailments. And the last ability could enhance the potency of a debuff applied to the boss. I'm drawing a blank for the last one. I was going to say an AOE leeches but I have a feeling WHM will get that.
