With the current mp cost for adlo, it needs to have 50% more potency, *AND* auto-crit, to break even with astrologian.
Whomever thought it was ok for astro to get a base 2.5x multiplier on their shields, when sch only gets a 2x multiplier on a crit... needs to go back to school and learn math. Scholar is my favorite, and probably always will be, but I've lost alot of respect for SE in what they've done to it.

Excog needs to be reworked completely. There is no reason for it to consume aetherflow *AND* have a minute cooldown. one or the other, but not both. If its really, really important to have both, then its potency needs to be tripled to be considered for a place on my hotbar.

Fairy... no idea what SE was thinking. The new fairy gauge? near worthless. one skill that uses it? really, just one? and its not even amazing. if the potency was scalable with buffs, instead of a static ability, then maybe. But, with the delay in its animation, the inflexibility with its positioning, how fragile the fairy is to aoe damage.... That tether better auto-raise a target that dies with it on, or sacrifice the fairy to heal the target to full, or something spectacular to make up for all the pain and suffering that comes with trying to use it. Right now, I'm really enjoying Dissipation because the fairy isn't 20% of my healing anymore, so I guess there is that. but seriously, whomever came up with the ideas for the scholar changes... has NEVER played a scholar in any challenging content. It broke everything that was right, and focused on everything that was wrong with scholar.
