    Okay, to kick things off I would like to bring up an issue I have with the Scholar Ability, Emergency Tactics.

    Job/Class: Scholar
    Ability: Emergency Tactics
    Description: Transforms the Galvanize effect into a straight heal.
    Cooldown:30s
    Issue: While the ability sounds good in theory, the added benefit of negating the Galvanize effect, for a straight heal, is a little backwards when used with Adloquium. For one thing, the MP cost of Adloquium is more than double the cost of 2 Physicks. Second, the added healing is equal to using Lustrate, and Lustrate is instant, as apposed to the casting time needed for Adloquium. And while the heal itself is minorly stronger, since there is still a casting time, spamming Physick is better. And while all of these issues do/would apply to Succor as well, they aren't as prevalent since Succor is an AoE. (I am aware that a crit negates these issues, but only if it crits)
    Possible Solution(s): In theory, the move is good, but it needs an extra effect to make it more viable. Possible effects could be: adding an auto crit, so that the potency is justified by the MP cost. Making the next cast instant, which would turn Adloquium into Lustrate basically, meh. Or make it so that the effect doesn't end after one use of a Galvanized spell. If the added effect was up for 15s, that would allow us to at least spam these moves if need be.

    Any other thoughts on this ability would be appreciated

    I like helping people with their Job ideas, it's fun to help them visuallize and create the job they'd like to play most. Plus I make my own too, I'll post them eventually.
