[DEV Question] Can we split it?

[JunseiKei]

This thread is not just about main stat speccing. It's also about the balancing issue between arcanist, summoner and scholar and how that can feed into issues.

having "leeches" (esuna) at level 40 when it is supposed to be a level 15 spell

This touches on one of the issues. Doing Brayflox Longstop on a scholar can be quite... interesting. You lack any of the tools to remove poisons unless you use Selene. If you use Selene, you lack AoE healing (succor is level 35, you are synced to 34). Here you are faced with simply power healing through the poison and hope your fairy does a good job healing as well as you being able to maintain your MP well (depending on how well your team are able to dodge).

In guildhests, you often face a similar issue and sometimes even in Palace of the Dead. If you're running a scholar, you cannot remove debuffs unless you are in level 40+ instances. I can't recall how many times I've personally been told off by people for not removing debuffs (the worst often being Long Live the Queen). It's not that I am lazy, I simply can't.

The instances are built with the healer role having certain abilities in their kit. However, being scholar in the odd position they are in, completely lack these staple healer kits until later levels. The shared main stat issue is annoying that only summoner and scholar share, but that's all it currently is: a unique inconvenience.
