It's not that I'm exactly happy with where scholar is, but...I don't know. I guess my lack of complaints stems from a variety of sources.

First, I just don't feel like starting any threads myself. Other people are starting astrologian threads, so I talk about astrologian.

Second, I'm more okay with scholar at the moment than a lot of people, probably because I started playing it in mid-to-late Stormblood, so it hasn't changed that much for me. And I was never really in it for the pet management anyway. (In fact I probably have more pet management now than before because there are things I can do with an immortal fairy that I couldn't handle with the old one.)

Third, I'm not really sure what changes I'd make. I want bane back, definitely. If I can also have a second DoT I'd be cool with losing art of war, since I like the strategy of DoT-spreading over the spamminess of an AoE nuke. Other than that, I don't know, really.

I guess I'm kind of bored---aside from the non-combat content which is still fun---but that might not even be the result of class mechanics.

Fourth, I still like scholar better than its competition. Sometimes I feel like I want to play white mage because its simplicity is more elegant than problematic, but I doubt I'd stick with it long. Even if the mechanics didn't get boring, I still prefer the lore and glamours of scholar (Anemos Orator's Coat FTW).
