Scholar upgrades - possible patches -

[VictoriaLuv]

First of all. I think its important that you do new scholar reveal. to smooth the firestorm you unleashed during end walker trailer.

Abilities that are scholar only/returning abilities - with summoner getting a massive upgrade and it loosing all the damage over time effects. this made a lot players ask. hey but what about scholar?

- Miasma is moving to scholar -> sense these are no longer summoner abilities
- Bane is returning to scholar -> sense these are no longer summoner abilities

we all gathered that selene is returning its no longer the same as eos. watch is a great thing. no one wanted see selene go, lets look at this with hopeful eyes not doom saying even thought its Justifiable do to bad job reveal. not giving the much details on how your job is changing next expansion

first of all this mostly for all classes the cast-time/global cool-down mostly all your offensive abilities will have 1.50/1.50 now these mean scholars over all combat will be much, much faster then it is at the moment then you must take into concertation that we have massive stat squish this isn't easy under taking taking every monster/boss/ability in the game reducing numbers . this isn't avoidable

Healers are going into different direction into a different meta. all healers over all offensive abilities be more fluid if not faster

this also means scholar probably get miasma and bane back cause no longer on summoner anymore. this been something all scholars been crying out for sense the start. while keeping art of war and getting powerful version of it.

that being said we talked about scholars offensive lets talk about its actual healing capable.

"Better and improved Pet AI system needs be created for future of scholar"
- Faster Reaction Timing
- little to no pause when you command your pet to use abilities
- scholar shouldn't have press abilities 10-100 times somestime cooldown is consumed and abilities doesn't go off
- but janky pets fix should been your first then fix selene. cause selene gonna have same problems eos. only difference is selenes abilities are more devastating when they don't pop off moment you cast time

are you serious that what Sacred Soil does already? only thing i adjusted is duration. cure potency and increase faerie gauge no need be rude. its a welcome change specially when. currently when there not mono between all healers. even white mage has a shield sense its only regen effect that scholar has it should be little bit like making it more powerful then medica II regen effect but at same time. medica II has 200 potency heal attached to it. also must take in consideration that you have stat squish. and actual healing you get now isn't gonna be same as it is endwalker.

I should also warn you by even being mildly offensive when posting a reply or posting forum devs will most likely ban you on the spot. so please be nice when replying to people. don't want a 2 week or a perm ban. posting on forums.

Y'know Sacred Soil is already considered as one of the most powerful healing action in the game, right? Increasing any aspect of this ability would just make it more overpowered.
Also, those Stratagem changes are ridiculous; from 15% crit rate to 100% direct crit?

It seems to me, you didn't even consider balance; this has to be your 7th thread right now, and considering what you wrote in those other threads, too, it doesn't seem like you gave it any deep thoughts at all. The reason for those changes is also missing, there is no context whatsoever. Honestly, for a stranger, all this random overpowered stuff looks more like a troll post than a serious one.

Oh, you are threatening me now? I'm quivering!

I gave you my thoughts, and told you that your stuff is overpowered, and not thought out well. If you can't take critique, that's on you!

€: your changes to
Whispering Dawn +50% healing
Succor + 44%
Energy Drain (altho most likely to be removed anyway) +100% dmg (cost, no cost, what?) +10 fairy gauge?
Sacred Soil +110% healing +10 gauge

You can't be serious! That's the only conclusion I can come to.

I mean okay, fair, the thread in response is a bit much and their defensiveness in other threads is a bit much.

But you were rude, so at least own it instead of saying it's because they can't take critique:

Whatever your doctor prescribed you, you should consider not taking that stuff anymore!

That's rude.

If you wanna be rude, it's your prerogative, as far as I'm concerned between you and the GM's, but I see so many do it, they'll be rude, somebody calls them out on it and then it's like "people can't take criticism/advice!"

[ArianeEwah]

That's rude.

But saying: "are you high?" is not? Where is the difference when both phrases say the same? (Also I don't trust doctors that prescribe drugs first when you have simple cough.)

2nd: the way they wrote their "warning" reads more as a threat. But then again, I don't care about forum bans, as if my life would depend on it...

[ArianeEwah]

I am not questioning your mental stability - THIS would be insulting -, but I ask whether you have given it two thoughts about what you are even suggesting!?

Except for your first 1-2 points about Bane and Miasma which unfortunately are not explained any further - despite it could've been the most interessting part of your post - you jump right into buffs that are on scale we've never seen before, and left without any explanation why you are even bringing them up.

And here is what we saw: except for chain stratagem, they are copy and paste from the job guide - the note about Nocturnal Field on Succor was still there. The buff section heavily lacks proof reading. For ED there is still the Aether cost notice, but you just added it doesn't cost anything... this is unfinished, and confusing to say the least.
And as WaxSw has described in detail, your suggestions don't make any sense without any explanation or wrote down reason.
I can't see any design changes that justify such buffs, so we are back to the point that this section is still not done.
In fact, your changes would make SCH even more boring and monotone than it already is, since Sacred would be mandatory in any situation, and the gauge would be overflowing with no way to spend other than on Fey Union.

Focus on the interessting part, and keep the balance in mind. If you can't come up with numbers without breaking it, either don't fix on them or give a rough direction, so you wouldn't go overboard.

So far, all I can say, those changes are - mildly speaking - not good, and those that could be interessting are not explained, so I can't make any of it.

threatening you no. honestly telling you that its perfectly ok dislike what i posted nothing about that but being toxic is not ok? do think this wow or something? were people can be troll and hateful when ever they feel like it people lost there squire-enix accounts. but when start saying things like "Whatever your doctor prescribed you, you should consider not taking that stuff anymore!" I'm not threatening you remarks like this would can get you perm banned off these forums. they have a forum policy and freedom of offensive speech doesn't apply here. but trying to do you solid. and urm let you know. but hey if dont care about never being able to post again on the official forums. please carry on. this what happens when people act up.

would be nice if kept things civil. when arguments or disagreements happen. a lot people have disagreement with what posted a lot of them expressed why they didn't like it. but also did not result in insulting op. instantly being offensive. cause they have different point view. so please do not take this as a threat or attack. I've seen people lose there accounts for less. don't want see any other poster. lose what they have. cause they said something they shouldn't

lol what? You must not browse the forums often.

[IllyaPrisma]

Like.... Is this supposed to be theory crafting or "leaked" skill descriptions. If it's the former, that's a really big yikes. If it's the latter, then it's entirely false.

Just imagine how "Stacks" of Stratagem would work. The stacks would be eaten by random auto attacks and Broils, rather than the actual hard hitting skills you'd want to crit. Everyone is doing an opener, so there's literally no way to control who consumes the Stratagem stacks in your proposed changes...
