Thread: Consolidated Scholar 4.0 Feedback Thread

It made me sad that I could only upvote you once arch...lol

Couldnt agree more, Scholar is my main class so im running dungeons right now with this. Whenever i got lucky and get a tank that decides to pull everything at once,or more than one trashpack it gets stressy. As many said,lustrate is really the only thing that can save your tank when a ton of damage comes out. Running out of aetherflow? Yeah..have fun spamming physicks like a maniac until you have aetherflow ready. Thats your idea of fun SE? Or even balancing. Of course,i could change to another class,but do i want to? No, because thats how i want to play. I dont wanna hop onto the bandwagon to change to a AST. Seriously concidering not renewing my subscription because of this.

You have 3 healers SE, Pure Healer, Mitigation Healer, and a buff Healer. Treat them as such, lest you loose more of my confidence in your ability to create a experience I want to experience. This whole expansion while having a great set of good things has ultimately made me question if this is a game I want to follow for years or maybe just ride a bit longer.

In my opinion WHM should hands down be able to output more hps than anything, SCH should easily be able to mitigate damage and use the BAKED IN DPS CLASS abilities EFFICIENTLY, AST should be able to comparably heal or shield but not be as up to par in either while providing powerful party utilities. Let them specialize how they are supposed to. As for the DPS on the other two, WHM and AST I feel thats fine just give sch a trait to undo that terrible idea of a bane nerf.

As I said before on the forums, everything I want to complain about SCH has been said. At this point im just continuously expressing dissatisfaction from i270 to now i314. Just not a fun experience playing my main of 2.x to current 4.0.

Yeah my thoughts exactly Lidragora. Im pretty new to the game (allthough registered since oct 2014), so i started a months ago again with a fresh character, cause i wanted to have a game that i can sink my time into. Until 70 i said to myself. "Well,think at 70 my class would perform better". But then it hit me like a train, im at a 309 Itemlevel (which istn high,undoubtly) but nothing changed...the same struggle keeping Tanks alive like the leveling dungeons. The main mechanic doesnt work...shielding...so im stuck with spamming physics...which undoubtly sucks in comparison to the other classes. So...what now? I dont know, as i said i wanted to find a game in which i spend my time. Final fantasy was perfect for it, but now everyday i log in i have my doubts. When the Developers cant even balance 3! Healing classes, what could i expect for the future of the game? Played Wow for 10 Years straight,never have i seen such an inbalance inbetween heal classes. Every Role hat its purpose.

This right here.

I think it needs just a good old scrub. Healing potency seems irregular, the old dps abilities feel less than what they were, it over all feels completely underwhelming. As I started to level closer to seventy it started really showing up that it has some issues with the potency of healing and dmg.

If you think about it when you are pulling mobs, you shield heal and then you help mow down the mobs to reduce damage and overall have to shield heal less. Now I find situations because I cannot fill a Dps gap my heals are underwhelming causing long drawn out battles to really wear down my mp and my ability to keep the team up.

I think it's absolutely ridiculous that AST can provide stronger shields than SCH. When you look at the crazy utility ASTs have it simply isn't reasonable to also give them stronger shields than the class that is known for it's mitigation. Adlo's Shield should be on par with AST shield. Especially when you consider that Aspected Benefic is instant cast.

Still, I have Lakshmi Ex and Susano Ex on farm with SCH in all pugs and it feels great to me. Those of us who have been playing SCH forever tend to overlook just how good the Job is. It was the king of 3.x heals and it still rocks. It just needs a little tweaking, not a major overhaul.

The only time SCH struggles is when a tank tries to do a big pull in a dungeon and you're forced to burn through your aether stacks with lustrates.
