[DEV Question] Can we split it?

[JunseiKei]

Personally I would like to see it given to a new base class

It doesn't need a base class, just a stand-alone job unlocked at level 30. IE: DRK, AST, MCH and the upcoming RDM and SAM.

If they were to make a new base class for it, I'd personally rather they gave this new scholar its own skills not shared with arcanist and summoner to solidify its split and ease for balancing purposes.

Right now, one of the biggest glaring flaws with scholar that I see and feel is the difference between having accuracy or not, even if you were a scholar that only healed (a cardinal sin, if you ask most players). Simply because of Energy Drain. It's a great MP replenishment tool for scholar and..... not really used by summoner sans their opener (one of them), but requires accuracy to consistently hit it.
