My SCH Rework Idea III

[Eloah]

Quick reply before I head to bed

.naming semantics aside,sch is a doctor and a practitioner of both white and dark magic and in the lore we search for a cure to a deadly disease so both medicine and poison knowledge are there. if it bothers that much i could call it overdose..

It's not so much that it bothers me, so much as Mix and Compound are skills heavily associated with Chemist/Salve-Maker. Changing it to Overdose or another medical term might be better.

Okay, to be fair, FFV's Chemist was originally going to be Scholar. That's why Chemist has what was Scholar's trait to double the effectiveness of potions.

Regarding the op, reading over the proposed changes, this doesn't really change any of Scholar's inherent problems, other than removing the trash that is Dissipation.

Sure, you put some poisons back in, but they don't really add anything interesting. Selene has some uniqueness again, but it's interior to whatever Eos brings. You keep summons at low level which absolutely breaks Scholar in low level content. Scholar still lacks healing potential as they're mostly tied to shields. You didn't even do anything to Fey's Union but give a defense buff with Selene. Fey's Union/the Fairy gauge didn't do anything for SCH's playstyle. From what I'm reading, this just adds even further clunk to a job that's already suffering from very disparaging design ideas.
