Roll Bane into Deployment Tactics / SF suggestion

[Cheapshot]

Bane and Deployment Tactics
1. Rather than scrapping one of our favourite abilities, Bane, and having Deployment Tactics only spread 1 thing, have it spread galvanize or bio depending on the selected target.

Just like that:

• We get to retain an aspect of the SCH gameplay we find fun and satisfying.
• Deployment Tactics gains utility and thought, instead of being a mindless button press.
• Everything is in one tidy button.

SF suggestion
2. Give us back Shadow Flare and make it work overlapping Sacred Soil. Shadow flare is maybe my favourite ability currently. It's a fun aoe that requires tactics and timing to get the most out of. I'd like to see it expanded on, not removed. If you're going to reduce our dps to standing in melee and tapping Art of War, at least let us build a cool field stack to do it inside. Let us do something interesting like that.

I want to live in the bubble, thanks.

The common consensus is that most of the fun and utility is being cut out of SCH. I agree with that, and it's being confirmed by those who attended the hands on preview. I'm maybe not as smart as some, so I'm only commenting on what I feel confident in expressing. I understand the need to streamline a bloated job with too many buttons. I get that. There is a lot of fat on Scholar to trim. But almost all of my favourite aspects of playing SCH are being removed without any interesting mechanics to replace them. Don't take the joy and life out of this job please. You can reduce the complexity without making it boring and innocuous.

Yes and please let SCH be hybrid. Let SCH have those damage toolkits! Don't leave the SCH playerbase like that and cut all of it.

If SE decides such things, why do they not let Influencers or w/e enter a small Alpha or so and let them test. Not even one Influencer/Content Creator talks good about SCH.

Please let SCH have the DPS toolkit, and also give AST and WHM back their DPS toolkit. Aero3 gone? Why? People loved that spell! It is like SE cutting the fun damage spells and giving even more healing spells which are not needed at all.
