Do you think there is any way they are going to revert some of the upcoming changes?

Although some players wont be satisfied no matter what unless it increases their damage.

Thats partially because there is still the older content to "heal", and the MSQ, beast tribe stuff where we have to DPS on our own.

not gonna happen. I never seen any mmo in my life that has this word: revert. no more 1.0 please!!

Give SCH a reward for healing well with a dps aetherflow dump move, and give selene a use outside of cosmetics via weaving between the two like smn does, if they dont want it to give mp back so be it just make sure it gives faerie gauge and decreases boss damage on their next move by a small percent or something until next attack is used, give WHM damage on fluid aura back and brave/faith, Ast has damage buffs that can be tuned to make up for the damage it lacks, or give it access to haste or something.

What does exactly "a reward for healing well" mean? Because if the party is alive by the end of the fight that means you healed "well". Nobody died, and you could have maintained them at 100% HP, 50% HP or even 1% HP for the whole fight. If they don't mind, in the end it doesn't matter. I think what you mean is Give SCH a reward for proper management of its resources.

I main whm, shadowbringers whm is going to be awesome in my opinion. However, I also like playing astro and I will no longer be playing it in the expansion. The card system being massacred is horrible and I see no need to play the job anymore. This seems to be the opinion of the majority; the changes are a lazy way to address the problem of balanced being overpowered compared to other cards and it kills all the decision making and variety the job had. I am not a big fan of scholar, but what I have heard the fairy is being pretty much killed off from the job while also reducing it's damage dealing capabilities.

Is there any way that SE will admit the changes they made are bad and they will revert at least some of them? Or is that just wishful thinking? If enough people stop playing astro and scholar do you think they will do something? I love all the other changes the expansion brings but astro is dead to me.

No . With the release date so close, S.E. will not revert any changes.

If changes are going to be made they will be around 5.1 the earliest imo.

I feel like at some point Energy Drain will make a comeback for SCHs, just because a.) The ability still exists for SMN so not hard to re-implement it for SCH I'd imagine, and b.) SCHs tend to get gameplay grievances smoothed out waaaaay faster than other jobs, if 4.0 is any indication.

it doesn't operate the same anymore, it'd likely be a new ability that functions like the old one, if at all.
