Fan Reworking SCH Idea

[inhaledcorn]

This isn't a rework. Reworks imply that entire systems are going to change. What you did was rename Aetherflow and encourage it to be exclusively dumped on Energy Drain since you don't lose healing (also somehow increasing the button bloat since you could basically do the same thing by hitting Energy Drain once and getting the healing stacks like how Summoner currently works). You turned Dissipation into Rouse (which is honestly a better thing to do at this point, but it does feel underwhelming as a capstone), and remove cast times on the fairy. These are things that we can have now, but it doesn't fix the underlying core issues that Scholar has. On top of that, the Aetherflow system that Scholar currently has was basically copied for Sage, just, instead of front-loaded, it's passively generated like White Mage.

A rework would completely change how a job is played, like StB Machinist to ShB Machinist or ShB Monk to EW Monk. What you're proposing for Scholar doesn't really change anything about it except maybe how we're using stacks and adding more UI elements.

Fair enough, I understand your points except for the button bloating as I'm only adding one new button that replaces Ruin 2 which SCH already currently has.
It's not the ultimate fix but I still feel like it would be better for SCH overall.
I dont really get how SCHs current Aetherflow system is like Sage. Since Sage can only use it for healing and mitigation more similar to WHM. Sage generates Addersting only when its single target shield is broken so you cant really have something like that for SCH (not anymore at least since Sage has it)
Maybe naming this as a "Rework" of SCH wasn't the best thing in the world, probably should have named is as an Aetherflow specific rework.
