Thread: Consolidated Scholar 4.0 Feedback Thread

Main Issue: The class is unfun as hell.

Issue #1: 0 good AoE to spam. This makes 4 mans an absolute chore to do.

Issue #2: Fey Union is just unfun. If the Fairy could act during it with an increased leash range that would be stellar. Or delete it and give me something that isn't dissipate level bad.

Issue #3: Quickened Aetherflow sucks. RNG based skills just feel bad on a healer.

Issue #4: The nerfs were heavyhanded. We need something back, right now there is almost no reason besides Chain Strategem to take us in a raid.

Issue #5: Pet reactions are still clunky and unresponsive. Eos should do what I tell her immediately, not when she gets around to it.

Those sum up my biggest issues. I love the class to death. Fairies are cool. You crushed an excellent class and now you need to fix it.

Fey covenant seems pointless, especially with that 2 foot tether.

Just replace it with "Summon Lily" and make her have higher potency heals and new moves. I don't care if it's Demi-bahamut for SCH because The fairy tether is a waste.

I'm pretty sure "Summon Lily" is our level 3 limit break "Angel Feathers".

It is, but you only summon the Angel Feathers fairy for like 2 seconds before she explodes.

Personally I would prefer replacing dissipation with summon Lily. Have it function kinda like pvp eos and heal when we heal and aoe when we aoe. Lasts till meter drains. We get fairy meter at 60 instead of 70.

I think SCH is starting to flow into the same position WHM is in.

That is, a viable job but is not fun to play and feels weak in comparison to AST.
It really feels like when it came to WHM and SCH, they didn't look into anything fun to give them at all.

When an AST can sheild and mitigate better than you, heal for more than WHM, and offer it's own support... there's a huge problem.

WHM flows incredibly well and is very fun. It's engaging with low cooldowns, two powerful dots, assize and Stone IV feels fantastic to use. No MP issues at all and god tier in dungeons. I don't feel that WHM is that much weaker than Astrologion at all if played correctly.

Anyone who used Deployment Tactics solely for Eye for an Eye is an idiot. Don't exaggerate the situation there. Deployment is primarily to push the Adloquium shield, with E4E being a happy bonus, but spreading E4E alone was never its primary function and not being able to do so certainly doesn't make it useless.

Exactly this, E4E spread is useful in very little situations (completely useless outside of trials). even in trials it really depends what you're replacing E4E with, most people won't miss it over Swift Cast, Esuna, Lucid Dreaming, Protect, Largesse.
