Thread: Scholar 5.0 Discussion

Would be nice to be able to spread dots. I miss bane.

Part of me is clinging onto hope that they'll rework Scholar and it'll be somewhat fun to play again. But seeing the dev's stance on healers and how they really just gutted Scholar this time around, it doesn't look very good.

buT hEALERS NEeD to BE PURE HeALerS!

Seriously though I don't understand what Square fails to get about what made scholar fun? Nobody likes having a one button rotation for whenever there is downtime in the healing department. Part of being a good scholar was to be able to bust out your DPS rotation because you were doing a good job at mitigating damage from your party. And all we get from Square after they remove all of our rotation is a god awful AOE that might do more damage but is quite literally the most boring move I have seen throughout the entire game.

At least dancer is fun. And hey, to all the people that were saying "Wait until ShB comes out before passing judgement, guess what! Shadowbringers is out and our thoughts about the changes were entirely right!

Same i have done few dungeons and it's just borring and not fun to play sch anymore!

DPS and Tank were happy, i just wanted to log out.

And why aetherflow can be used ONLY during a fight seriously?

Everything in the job changes are made for not having fun SE?????

Almost burst out in tears when I 'played' with my SCH and AST.... not much to add to the discussion, last 10 posts mentioned all the breaking points

I just keep feeling like I'm walking on phantom stairs, putting a foot out for the next step and nothing's there. This isn't just in muscle memory, but the whole gameplay for scholar now feels off and lacking. Even the animations (yes, I'm looking at you, Art of War) feel underwhelming or inappropriate. It irks me so much that I, a scholar of all jobs, can't be prepared at all times with loaded aetherflow, that I have to wait for battle, especially since now they are only linked to heals. Sorry person outside my party who I just helped raise, I can't give you a quick top off lustrate since there's no fight going on.

Oh dear. It looks like I have something to look forward to today...

Having to hit aetherflow before combat ends just to get stacks is incredibly awkward, oh and the forced lustrates if I want more gauge to pop aetherflow without leaving any.

These two things are going to be bothering me quite a bit.
