SCH need buffs

[Videra]

To put it into perspective for non-Scholar players, most of us want our old playstyle back. And what this entails is thusly.

1) Faerie management, Eos and Selene used to have different abilities and their own GCD that we had to manage in tandem with our own for maximum effectiveness. Targeted embraces were a thing of beauty, and Whispering Dawn/Fey Illumination were much more responsive at the time because of this. We also used to have neat utility once upon a time in the form of Fey Covenant, which was raid-wide magic mitigation via Eos.

2) Our dots were an integral part of our playstyle and a huge part of what kept Scholar interesting in the ridiculous amount of downtime this game promoted: It was a game of managing multiple timers for various different iterations of dots. I was personally fondest of this in Heavensward when we had everything from Thunder and Aero to Miasma 2 and could spread our dots with Bane. Though I will say points in Stormblood's favour, because using miasma 2 for weaving in Stormblood was probably an unintentional stroke of brilliance on SE's part. I think I speak for everyone when I say that the majority of Scholar players want this back the most.

3) Shields used to scale much higher. This is just a consequence of how big numbers have gotten and kind of overlaps with Astro, but shielding, in general, has become a lot less valuable with each expansion. We also can't spread Critlos anymore, which sucks - and SE knows that it sucks. This was only changed because of shield to get LB cheese on fights like Omega Savage.

If I forgot anything, feel free to tack it on. I just know my major pain points with the class. In all, it's fair to say that Old Scholar was a deep, complex animal - and it was considered one of the best-designed jobs in the game for a reason.
