This may come as something of a shock to you, but the class doesn't stop existing as soon as you unlock the job; besides sch, Monk, Ninja and Paladin quests specifically and heavily reference this, and I think all but dragoon feature some level of interaction between job and class npcs.

It's very clear you're being deliberately obtuse. There is no debate about kardia being embrace on a specific target. The wording on dosis is also funny "targets under the effect", which sounds rather like there's meant to be a kardia spread ability. Energy drain used to give you mp back before they shifted it across to aetherflow - which for some coincidental reason gives 20% of your mp back. Almost exactly three 7s. Funny that. Expedient, soil and protraction and fey illumination gives 25s of 10% mit, 10s of 10% hp increase (given the analogues to thrill of battle it's an equivalent) and 20s of 5% magic mitigation. (35s of 10% and a bit longer for a bit less on the last one for those keeping track.) That movement advantage button would be expedient you're describing wouldn't it? Yes, it's called consolation, part of summon seraph. sod charges I'm putting a shield 5 times as big on everyone. Emergency tactics but backwards. Sounds kind of like aetherpact. next one's facetious, one after that's mistaken, there isn't a phlegma so good on getting one right there, Does removing Dissipation remove Energy Drain and the interplay between providing extra healing and mitigation or choosing to do damage for a bit of optimization if your CDs and healing plan are managed well? is the exact problem which only shows you're fully aware why people aren't happy with the idea of it being reworked and then we're back to being facetious.

The differences between scholar and sage are more slight than between any other two healers, effort should be put into differentiating them, not homogenising.
