Scholar's Identity Transformation

[Eloah]

I'll wait and see what the seraph form looks like, since we only see it from behind. But I do agree that the colors we see seem off. What I wanna know is if SCH is getting some of the things people have asked for. Like another attack option, I swear every other healer gets more and more, but not SCH. And finally get an oGCD shield. Instead we are getting Miasma 2 back on a 120sec CD, yay? Why can't they allow us to spread our DoT with Deployment Tactics, finally? So many options "obvious" options that you wonder why hasn't it been done yet.

Well, I'm playing Scholar with a Miqo'te and considering the Scholar character from the trailer, who was also a Miqo'te, lost her ears and tail in the process and got a cheap wing fashion item slapped on the back, I'm not sure seeing how her transformed front could possibly look like to make up for this.

I just rewatched the video so I could refresh my memory of the form. The tail disappearing makes some sense, as it could be seen as just being under the robe. There are a lot of outfits where including the tail seems odd, like the mascot outfits, but I digress. The ears being gone though does seem odd. It looks like some sorta hat and Veil is placed on the head, but why would that make the ears go away? The devs do a good job with most things, but sometimes I question their choices.

I suppose on a technical level it's very similar to Reaper's Enshroud, which seems to replace the player model with one generic design, thereby removing any racial traits as long as the skill is active.

Scholar is the only healer I play because they felt least like a 'mage' and enjoyed the war tactician fantasy. And I can't stand the overabundance of wings that's creeped its way in XIV (not knocking ya if you like it. Wear them if you want, but don't force it on a class that it seems out of place for). This update dulled any hype I had for changes with Scholar in the expansion. I still like the playstyle and will still play as my main healer, but really not enjoying where SE is taking the aesthetics.

Another SCH chiming in that our ultimate level 100 form should have been turning into Feo Ul.

Scholar ate Seraph and got the reaper enshroud that was hardly explained. Did your voidsent eat the voidsent that you fought at the end?

If the spell is related to Seraph which looks alittle more like an angel than a fairy, I guess I can accept it. I don't want fairy wings though- I'm not a huge fan of transforming into one, leave that for BLU. If you're going to complain about identity, I'd rather them return to the war tactician math nerd scholar with a book.

I'm not entirely against it, though if it was really related to Seraph, then I wish the transformation would look abit more like her than like 'robe with wings'.

i hate the transformation of sch from battle tactician to fairy outfit from spirit halloween. we have plenty of angelic/feathered outfits to pick from if we choose to do so, this feels entirely unnecessary and just tacked on.

Why couldn't we turn into Titania. People would've loved that.
