Despite still (somehow) being a Scholar main, I’ll still admit that it really needs help play-style wise.

What I dislike most about Scholar is that so many of our abilities are useless most of the time.

Sacred Soil? Nope, better using Indomitability
Succor? Nope, better using Indomitability
Seraph? You guessed it, better using Indomitability.

I mean, it’s pretty telling that everyone kept asking for a ‘guaranteed crit shield’ ability, but then when we do get one we use it for literally anything but shields lol (aka Indomitability)

It’s like, why have spells/abilities like Physick, Adloquium, Succor, Sacred Soil, if they’re just going to make it so we’re losing out when we use them? Why not replace them with damage spells or w/e if they’re not going to make us heal with them lol.

Idk it’s like, I feel like if the devs just randomly decided to delete all of Scholar’s abilities except Lustrate, Indomitability, Excogitation and Seraph it’d play with the exact same efficiency as it does now and would still breeze through the majority of content.

I always liked the idea of Scholar having lots of equally weighted abilities whose strengths come out when use tactically rather than reactively. I’m not sure I like the idea of Scholar having one ‘super’ ability that always outdoes the rest.

Naturally, for single target healing it’s the exact same except you’re removing Physick/Adloquium from your hotbar in exchange for Lustrate/Excogitation
