Good to know that you’re still ignorant of the pet AI improvements despite literally having the option to test them available to you. Keep putting your foot in your mouth. Please look forward to it.

That aside, Scholar’s issues aren’t that different from the other healers. oGCD bloat, lack of a DPS rotation. The pet suffers more from redundancy than anything else. I’d like to see Seraph and Dissipation combined and retooled in some manner to cut back on their problems and highlight their strengths, for one extra oGCD DPS skill to be added that rewards using Aetherflow/Fey Gauge for healing, Bane to be brought back and integrated into Deployment Tactics as an alternate mode, and for the other fairy actions and superfluous cds (Protraction, Expedient), to be removed and reworked into something more solid and cohesive. AoE Fey Union typically comes to mind as a catch-all that could replace Whispering Dawn/Fey Illumination outright.

Aetherflow actions including ED and Recitation are fine. Make the rest of the kit better.
