Thread: SCH 4.0 ability mp costs

And isnt it funny I'm a red headed scholar, lol?

The Japanese tooltip says it's 10% now, and people who watched videos of scholars playing said the mp returned upon execution was 10% (I didn't bother watching videos to confirm that, though). A number of the English tooltips have had discrepancies like that one.

Hope they revert that, then. SCH mana costs are pretty high, and Energy Drain competes with some other pretty strong abilities for MP recovery.

Yeah. Between that and the AOE stuff, I'm not sure if I'll switch around what healer I play when I feel like healing. Mostly the AOE damage bothers me, though. I stopped playing PLD in 3.x because of the lack of aoe damage for trash in dungeons, and now I'll feel like I'm slowing stuff down on scholar. It was nice being able to pick up slack for melee that don't aoe large trash packs. I guess I could go WHM or AST for that still.

Yes that's taken into account, its the current cost of the spell versus the cost of the spell at 70. I believe we get 17k mana at 70 in i290 so that means one aetherflow wont even cover 2 broils/1adlo etc. Makes me scared if anything is actually healing intensive honestly.
Just did some napkin math, keeping dots up fulltime for a minute and plugging away with broils on a single target will cost us 21,480 mana without a single healing spell cast during that minute since only physick is cheaper than any other spell I figured it was unnecessary to calculate healing since more often than not youre gonna toss an adlo or succor anyway. So without drains assuming we used aetherflow for healing instead, we end up at 4200 mp at the end of a single minute. Even with drains 7600 so I mean its not looking fantastic lol.
