Right so I read over this post of yours and well... It's not good. I'm gonna break down my thoughts on it;

The increases to current skills: Sure ok I get this one, being the base spells they could probably do with a little boost since you do use them while Fester is down on SMN, or when you don't need Dots or to heal as SCH. Tri Disaster has been needing a buff for a while so that'd be nice... However making the dots have a chance to be instant cast? No, that would be far too broken. So yes to damage buffs, but that other stuff, no.

Primal Rage: Considering the 40% buff to attack power you get when using Rouse and Spur, adding on even more to this would be a little broken especially with how much you want it to do/how often it triggers. So no this would be a bad idea.

Bio 3: While I do imagine they will be adding more dots to our rotation, your description is not good for this. A constant damage down effect could continually be tossed up with this, and if you toss in what Paladin already has with Rage of Halone lowering strength, this one is a bust. Add in the fact Warrior can ALSO do this makes it a moot effect... We have Virus for lowering damage you know.

Black Hole: While I agree we could use a better AoE than tri disaster, this doesn't work with the whole 'gather enemy' thing. Could you imagine the number of trolls who would use this just to piss a lot of people off in something? I can cause people probably would.

Evokar Stance: Sch can use Cleric Stance for a reason, so not needed. Next.

Scourge: Doesn't seem necessary to be honest. Seems like a badly tweaked shadow flare.

Pets: We're quite likely going to get these sooner or later, that much is given. A third fairy is not reeeally needed though maybe give Eos a kind of aoe heal for level 55 or something. (Also Saki? Sounds like you kind of want something with your name to be part of the game Sakura.)

Rainbow Dust: Breaking the class 101 right here. Sure you have your little reduction thing... but healing and Leeches in the same go? No. This is a ridiculous idea and just doesn't make any sense to how a healer is supposed to work.

Aethertap: Lustrate is all I'm going to say about this one. Also using 15% of your MP for a 300 potency heal? Are you insane?

Blessed Mark of Healing: In short, broken like your rainbow dust thing. Getting what would be basically a free heal on a player while healing someone else? Hell no, that would make SCH a damn joke to bother playing (And yes I play both SMN and SCH so I know what I'm talking about here.)


In conclusion to everything you've posted here... No. A lot if not all of these little suggestions would make the class worse not better. Does some stuff need to be tweaked? Sure it does but making it so over the top like you're suggesting? Not going to happen... I don't really get why so many people think that SMN/SCH needs all these weird changes done to it, I've been playing the class since I started a year and a half ago and it doesn't add up to what I know.

A SMN is already a killer with single target DPS (my dots + Fester + Pet damage can soar up there with criticals.) It also makes for good back up with the Resurrect spell it has and is rather versatile in what it can do.

A WHM/SCH combo is also pretty amazing. A lot of people get on it for it's lack of super group heals like WHM but those barriers it has it what it's true purpose is. The WHM does the group healing while the SCH mitigates damage while getting back up from the pet.

So please do us a favor, stop trying to break what's currently not broken please. We're bound to see a lot of good changes to classes when the expansion drops and to be perfectly blunt? We won't see anything you suggested here.

Remember when people were able to express themselves by offering their opinions and ideas without being engulfed in flames?

Some of these ideas have some merit, although many of them are just slightly modified versions of spells arcanists already have.

I like the idea of a chain heal (although I agree what you listed is a bit too much. Heals shields and auto leeches? No can do) or even a mark heal. It's been done before in other games, it isn't game breaking so long as content is designed with that plays type in consideration.

Blackhole also sounds do cool but it might be a little too much.

Overall I like the basic ideas of a lot of what you posted, I just think most of them might be a bit overpowered.

I'm pretty much of the opinion that scholar really don't need any super spells. They're pretty bad așș as is.

Summoners on the other hand do seriously need some developer love.

Anyway I say do us a favor and keep posting ideas if its something you like to do. But understand that its generally unlikely that they will get used. You never know though. We may very well could see something similar to something any of us have posted. It just might not be quite as exactly the same. Some people don't understand that when you start squelching ideas it closes the players off from the developers and tends to alienate the playerbase. That's not conducive for game growth.

So please do us a favor, stop trying to break what's currently not broken please. We're bound to see a lot of good changes to classes when the expansion drops and to be perfectly blunt? We won't see anything you suggested here.

And you need to stop with this. It's not up to you to decide who gets to post what, that's what mods are for, and your overall demeanor in this is more detrimental to this game than her posting her ideas.

Reason why posted black hole i noticed some issue's with bane. lets say if the tank pulls whole group of monster's doesn't hit them at all in fact "3-4 at much" i don't know if it is awful range bane has or limited about targets its allowed to hit. over all "Shadow flare is nice" more level's we gain over 50 we gain. even with gear more pathetic it will become. we already have a massive dps drop do the limited propar gear . most of gear end game is maid for black mage. and white mage

There not benefiting for a summoner scholar. I should know what talk-in about when am at t9 on my scholar . and ive seen high allagin gear. wod gear and the gear inside for peotics

Summoner/Scholar and Black mage/white mage use two-different stat set's share the same gear "bad" yes


Black hole isn't meant too have massive-range - they have added ability like this before in final fantasy 11 watch was very useful. during big pulls. yes it would have some range too not no big range too it.. what it does it sucks things on the tank or near the tank making bring them into bane range compacting monster's making them aoe down . like i said this ability utility. if people troll with this ability. this is player base problem not the ability it always gonna be so ass. not has same range as shadow range - sucks all monsters directly into middle. this makes it easier to land bane and hit them all. i also see this working tri-disaster and miasma 2 . pro player who knows how blackhole can also easily pull monsters away from maintanks towards the off-tank making it easier to deal with adds in boss fight

((Blackhole doesn't suck up bosses however))

Scholar is my primary class. and so i know this one good enough say what it needs.

We need a pet that is better the Eos. and Pet Healing AI needs be updated. ((cause there stupid even with macros))
We need a better team heal that isn't a copy of the white-mage's abilities "coughs Phyheal and Cure"
We need too make Psyheal to be different then Cure ((we don't need two cross class abilities that are copy/paste job of one another. they need there own organically make-up)

Blessed Mark of Healing - reason why suggested this cause we have no team healing capably even with macro succor+ability its not strong enough against big damage, this requires you take away main focus watch is the tank and heal dps prevent any deaths. so don't have swift-cast raise too early.

this type ability has been in other game's it was not broken. was actually very good. scholar's never really been known for team-heals we focused on powerful single target heal's if we healed someone else like dps and tank gets healed at same time don't see how this is game breaking

I see this as its a base idea that need adjustiments

[Bacent]

Black hole isn't meant too have massive-range - they have added ability like this before in final fantasy 11 watch was very useful. during big pulls.

Like the people from SE have said, this is NOT, and will NOT be Final Fantasy XI. I don't know why people like to compare that game to XIV so much.

Scholar is my primary class. and so i know this one good enough say what it needs.

Do you? I know a lot of people that have X as their main class, and they don't know everything about it. There's a scholar in the final coil raid group I'm in, and they do their job PERFECTLY. There are chances you don't fully know your class yet, and haven't been taught properly.


Also your 'Blessed Mark of Healing' ability is'a bit broken. Not only do you have a pet to help while you're healing, you're asking to heal a third target. Meaning you'd be putting up two Adloquiums at the same time. Also Scholar can do well enough with their group heals/barriers.


You know that one way to beat T1 a while back was solo tanking with two scholars going back and forth putting up their barriers? Plus when you have a Scholar and White Mage together it works like two gears in a clock (Meaning it works pretty damn well). Scholar putting up barriers/mitigating the damage, while the white mage is doing the group heals.

And if you think your pet is 'stupid' then you should try controlling it yourself, I don't have issues with mine, including just hitting heel when the tank is grabbing a huge group

Remember when people were able to express themselves by offering their opinions and ideas without being engulfed in flames?

And remember that this is a 'suggestions and feedback' forum, where people can post what they think about other suggestions. Sorry you think that being blunt is the same as flaming people. And with how you're wording that, you are basically saying for people to not post if they don't say something positive about something.

I really like that Black Hole idea... A player based draw in would be so epic and useful. You could BH > Tri Disaster and have a tank snap aggro the whole bunch. Very interesting.

[Havenae]

Well bane has a cap on it. It will only hit three other mobs, it doesn't matter if there's 6 standing right on top of one another it will only spread to 3 targets. Thats actually some of the complaints for bane as the many "please fix summoners" threads have shown. That and tri-disaster being of the utmost uselessness.

Personally my thoughts were.. The chain heal is good as long as it's a lower potency heal and works similar to rest shaman in WoW. As the heal skips to the next target it reduces it's effectiveness. Say first target his for 100% potency, second for 50%, third for 25%, drop the shilding and the leeches buff and you have something that completely doable in this game.

I could see the mark heal too (which is something holy paladins can do in WoW) as a whm ability just sort of as a balancer. I would change that spell to cast 100% potency on the marked target, but not for free, maybe 50% off.

Blackhole could be very useful if bane had it's cap removed, and still useful for shadow flare. Provided of course that the damage is relatively low for the ability, and the pull as the main effect of the spell. As for trolling and people using the spell to mess with people, it wouldn't be any worse than garuda or emerald carby's knock back or the knock back cnj/whm has on fluid aura. At least this one has a focal point and doesn't just blast the target far away

I had suggested a draw ability quite some time ago in a SMN thread, but I think having it as a Leviathan "Whirlpool" ability would be sufficient. Adding more Egis means that they need to have something that makes them unique. Having Leviathan be able to gather mobs together for Bane or other AoE's would give him that utility.

Hell yeah 100% agree with you on that, either way they do it, a draw in would be epic!
