Its just dots, ogcd and macro embrace and spam broil and weave stuff.

Also sch pretty much feels the same but this is unpopular opinion: its lore smoother except for nothing to weave on Biolysis. And the healing kit alone..

Depends who you ask, nobody thought scholar was this giant, galaxy brained, class, but you always had something to do, be it micromanaging fairy, applying one of your dots, using an aetherflow on ED or an oGCD heal, making sure you keep shadow flare up, and watching people's hp bars. Sure some of those are still there, namely the watching hp bar, but everything else, it's gone. You have 1 dot that needs to be applied every 30 seconds. Theres no risk vs reward with aetherflow, and I have given up on trying to use it all before refreshing it. Fairy feels more like a chore now, and since they made her so weak, shes barely even worth using, and, outside of recitation, nothing we got was worth what we lost.

It was never a risk/reward job to begin with. Its just how most people wants to view it as. Otw ur a greedy sch that doesnt know how to utlize and create tunnel vision.
Well it is a personal matter anyways. I never found sch that difficult. SCH sure was my type of playstyle but it has not changed THAT much.(yeye i might be deluded).

But hey SCH did stem from Arcanist hence they kept some of the tools. I had problems with Shadow Flare Macro. And Miasma II Visual was meh and so goes for the Art of war. If they only fused both of them tho with AoW and Miasma II coming up from the ground with sparkly glittery stuff or extreme visual i totally buy that.
That leaves Miasma And ED. Well... eh i liked ED so nothing much to say there. Miasma was eh there. atleast one of them stayed and that is Bio. Sure its «boring» for most but i sure dislike using GCD skills.

Besides my Aetherflow only went for Indom and ED back in HW and SB. May reraly occasion with Exco depends on the fight.
I do agree on fairy part tho. Also i added a slight sarcasm on my last words on pre post about the healing kit... .

I may be one of those with unpopular opinions but hey. The likes on this forum arent accurate.

What is the potency of 'new' Energy Drain?
