Scholar upgrades - possible patches -

[WaxSw]

There's a lot to unpack here:

Miasma is moving to scholar, Bane is returning to scholar

These are good changes I'd like to see

the cast-time/global cool-down mostly all your offensive abilities will have 1.50/1.50

Its actually 1,5/2,5 cast/recast to allow us to weave iirc, having lower cast and recast woudnt serve any purpose as it would only limit or weaving oportunities more

Whispering Dawn

This is simply way too powerful, whispering dawn would become one if not the strongest regen of the game with a total potency of 1260, even if we take into acount the pet stats it would be comparable to an 882 potency AoE regen, it would be a regen with higher single target potency than Excog, without using any resource and 0 dps cost as the gcd would let you freely weave, I like sch but that is too much especially when we are talking about a shield healer and it doesnt solve any gameplay issue.

Succor

Same as whispering, its buff for the sake of a buff, its dps cost doesnt become lower or have any extra interaction so its use would be the same as today, close to none. It just would be stronger healing wise but I dont see a purpose behind it.

Energy Drain

I see this as a negative change, you'd increase the oportunity cost of Aetherflow heals meaning those are less desirable from an efficiency point of view than they're now and we already have situations where its better for a Whm to use an afflatus gcd heal than us using an aetherflow heal. You also increase th fairy gauge but, why? We already sit with full gauge/close to full gauge in the majority of content, why would we need more, especially when fey blessing does not use that gauge anymore?.

(On the other hand if you remove it from aetherflow you de emphatize that action a lot as it doesnt have any dps benefit outside the heals so we'll return to a scenario similar to 5.0 Sch with Aetherflow sitting there doing nothing for a good chunk of the encounter)

Sacred Soil

As other have said, this is beyond broken, 10% mitigation + a regen worth of 900 total potency and 70% uptime, unless range is a problem or trying to minimize aetherflow use (because ED) no one would ever use any other aetherflow heal as this is better than all of them in almost any aspect, more total potency on single target than excog + mitigation and indom (which is already a weaker heal) would see even less use outside of recitation, same as the previous buffs I dont see a reason why do it aside the sake of buffing it (which is kinda crazy as current SS is among the strongest heals of the game) neither why it gives us more Fairy gauge when we have less spenders.

Chain Stratagem

On a raid scenario with other 7 players this would be inconsistent as fuck as those buffs would last even less than a GCD, it may miss a dps in favor of 2 tank hits, jobs like blm would miss it easily while jobs like mch could burn it very quickly under hypercharge, I'm assuming abilities mean weaponskills because if it works on ogcds it would last even less.
