Summoner is getting a fix, but what about Scholar?

[Danbo05]

Summoners are going to get a fix but what about Scholars? From my experience playing Scholar, I feel they need to modify the Galvanize buff. You're at a disadvantage in most scenarios with 2 scholars in your party as oppose to a WHM/SCH, or even 2 WHMs. Sure, some of them you can get by with 2 scholars, but some places, its near impossible. Like take for example T2. If you're trying to do enrage in that fight, its impossible with 2 Scholars, even with a Bard, unless everyone's over-geared for the fight and every attack lands. I feel Scholar needs Galvanize to be stackable from two different healers. I mean, Medica II stacks, why can't Succor? Sure, you can say scholars can use Eos to help mitigate damage or cast regen, but even then, 2 of Eos's buffs are on a 2 minute CD, where as Selene's speed buffs are on a 50 second cooldown.

This is just something I've been noticing based on how piss easy T2 is with 2 WHMs or a WHM/SCH. And I know you guys can say don't do enrage, but majority of the community don't even know how to do Rot.

I think Scholar is a very well-balanced jobs
I hope they don't touch it too much

[Danbo05]

No doubt Scholar is very well balanced, I just feel they can fix it up a bit. When you're paired with 2 Scholars as opposed to 2 White Mages or a WHM+SCH, the party is at a disadvantage when it comes to healing.

I also see little reason to use Eos as opposed to Selene because you can really only put 1 of Eos's moves to use, where as Selene you can increase output in DPS or healing speed.

[Hysterior]

but if they increase our heals, they will probably nerf our dots and I really hope they dont

[Danbo05]

I'm not saying increase healing output though. I'm honestly just hoping for the Galvanize buff to be stackable when Succor/Adloquium is used by 2 scholars, just like Medica II's regen stacks when used by 2 white mages. And cut down Eos's CD on her buffs.

[NintenPyjak64]

Summoners aren't getting a fix per say, they're just making Ifrit more useful and rebalancing the pets to make room for the 2 new ones coming out some time after 2.3

And Eos imo is much more useful then Selene. There will be more situations where your DPS will be more then enough and you'll need more healing. In this scenario, Eos has an AoE regen which stacks with Medica 2 and regen, and has Fey Covenant which increases not only your heal output but your WHM's heal output as well (basically a second Divine Seal for them to loosely compare)

I'd like to see a new fairy added, what abilities it would do I don't know lol. But I think it's unfair they are leaving out Helios .. he is the brother of Selene & Eos in Greek mythology. Plus a male fairy would be pretty cool to have :P.

[Eisengrim]

I definitely agree with the main point. It is kind of sad that any other healing combination is possible except for SCH/SCH. I'd even say give succor a little boost. When an AoE can knock off most of the parties health, a 400ish HP AoE cure and some damage mitigation doesn't help too much.

If they increase and allow the stacking of our shields than it really makes WHM/sch a dumb idea to run with. They have to keep the balance of Heals/HoT/Damage Mit. Right now i feel like scholar has the upper hand over whm. The simple truth is sch+eos can dish out the same heals than a whm can with no buffs. YES, that does take into account whm cure II not counting crits as that is LUCK based. The only thing sch can not do is have constant HoT up, Massive AoE Heals, and 18% HP on Stoneskin.
What i would like to see is Succor and Adlo Galvanizes stack. Or at least if a succor crits it doubles the shield as well. either would not be too much to ask for while still allowing whm to have its place in a party.
