Scholar Rework Idea

gonna post a bit of what i wrote on another thread here:

sch is becoming my fav healer in term of how actively engage it can be. broil when standing still and ruin2 to weave and movement.
totally love art of war too, for it being an instant cast. so good in expert dungeon. since the recent 2 expert dungeon's trash mob aoe dont hit for much, i just stand in the middle of the pack without moving out of aoe and just art of war all day and use aoe heal ogcd if i ever need heals.

i really love the sch kit right now but i do have a few complains. 1st, sch mp can dip pretty low if like dps isnt doing their job and trash mobs isnt dying fast enough. thus spending alot of mp doing art of war. 2nd, death feels way more punish compare to the other 2 healers due to mp regen (i kinds been using lucid on cd to keep mp up and it might be in cd when i die making it harder to recover after res) and needing to summon fairy for using some of those ogcd heal ablilities after being res.
they need to make summoning fairy be instant like summoner instead of cast time. and make energy drain gain a bit more mp or something.
3rd, god please they need to up lustrate heal potency. its just way too weak for the amount of hp tank has now. now i just use excog for ppl that have low hp. way better use of aetherflow than lustrate.
back in 2.x, sch was my main because lustrate was a 30% hp heal. hw changed it (i switched to whm because it still got bene and also tetra), it was fine for back when hp wasnt that high. now with tanks hitting 200k hp, the lustrate potency heal is way way weak.

as many suggested, they do need to rework the fairy guage usage.
in dungeon, there is times i really dont even need to use it for fairy tether and its at 100. and when i do want to use it, it might not be full. so il say the guage resource usage/management need some rework to make better use of it.

as for 6.0, i kinda hope they have some kind of new ability that can refresh the cd of some abilities (excog or indom?? or even fey illum?). akind to summoner dreadwyrm stance refrshing tridiaster.

Interesting, SCH is no longer my favourite healer and you just listed some of the reasons why. Some of those reasons would not even be necessarily difficult to fix , but that are very annoying (such as fairy summoning after death).

I would hope that they don't look at the summoner for inspiration - I do realize that summoner is an effective job however it fulfills a different purpose, it is definitely more complex (some would argue it's not ever well done , since it changes so much as well levelling too), and I wouldn't want most of its design principles introduced into SCH.
