can scholars get their own dots in shb?

[Transient_Shadow]

Please? I'm tired of using the non symmetrical spells of the Arcanist. I know this is more of a cosmetic request but it would be nice to have the sch animation and even dot timers. same thing with physic. just a small cosmetic touch for scholars would be nice

Probably Bio II and Miasma will be given a trait to evolve them in to something new unique to the job, similar to what they did with Ruin and Broil. Would be silly to keep them the same for the third expac. SCH might end up keeping Miasma II though seeing that was separated from Arcanist anyway. Physick is probably better taken from or traited for SMN, but keep current animation on SCH as Cure and Benefic could likely stay same as well.

sorry that's what I meant. >.>'

That would be nice. It'd also make it a tad bit simpler when tracking your own dots while healing group content with a SMN.

I wouldn't be surprised if they finally fully severed SCH and SMN in 5.0.

I don't know if that'll come with new animations or not of course but it certainly could.

I'm not sure if that's ever gonna happen. since both are mechanically tied to the arcanist class. But I would love for it to happen none the less.

The Ananta Arcanists cast a spell called "Luster". I wouldn't be surprised if Summoners keep the Ruin line of spells, and SCH get their own version of direct-damage spells called Luster (upgraded later to Broil). I think we will get our own animation/renamed spells in 5.0, in addition to our own mechanic that is completely different from Summoner, which will likely be the job that keeps Aetherflow. Also, I hope that means we get our own 200 potency AoE spell. Since we have Broil magic, how about Meltdown?

Scholar is pretty beefy as far as dps goes. we don't need spells like holy or gravity. we have Miasma 2 and bane. it may not look like it from a distance but we do a crud load of damage. I just want some cosmetic changes mostly and evenly timed dots.

They don't have to be, though. They could create a "new" job that starts at 30 and give it all the SCH actions and call it SCH, even if they don't rename/reanimate the actions; and give it no base class but require ACN30 to do the job quest. That much should really be a simple matter. Give it to everyone who already has it unlocked, and set it equal to ACN level. Then from that point on they'd level separately, and any new people would unlock it as a baseless job.

Fair point
