Scholar Adjustments for the next patch...

[Iedarus]

-Remove Protraction
-Remove Fey Blessing
These abilities simply do not add anything special to Scholar's kit.

-Return Miasma II on a 15 second duration with a 1.5 second cast time
-Make Biolysis have an 18 second duration
-Return Bane as an Aetherflow spender
-Reduce Broil's potency to compensate for the changes
-Make Physick turn into Lustrate when Aetherflow stacks are present
-Have Baneful Impaction be on a separate 60 second cooldown with a lower potency to compensate

Protraction synergise with deployement and serves as a mitigation tool.
If you consider Protraction to be useless then Krasis, Exaltation and Aquaveil are beyond repear.
Feyblessing is useless but Physick and Lustrate aren't?
Not saying Feyblessing is amazing, but if *that* is useless then any form of extra single target healing also is. Provided I got time to do so, 600 potency of fey > 600 of lustrate which could be used for anything else, even a feebly ED.

-Make Physick turn into Lustrate when Aetherflow stacks are present

Any reason?

All the DPS stuff

That's not an adjustment, that's a rework.

[OliviaLugria]

Some weird stuff there... I would rather have any of the the other 3 Protraction equivalent abilites.

I'd also love to have fey blessing be aoe fey union instead.

Change physik to lustrate? Did you mean upgrade it to aldo.


Just bring back stormblood damage kit.

-Fey Illumination already synergizes with Spreadlo while also helping your cohealer with heal checks. Having a cheap copycat ability is just superfluous, especially when SCH mit is already insanely powerful. Sure I'll press it on a tankbuster (like tanks even need it), or on mob pulls but it doesn't have too much impact when you already have Seraph, Union, Expedient (for the latter) and Soil to help with sustained damage. Also that comparison doesn't hold weight when you're comparing a mit healer to a regen healer. Krasis also is needed on Sage because they don't have guaranteed crit team shields like SCH.

-Lustrate does come in handy when a teammate messes up a mechanic but their hp is just above half and there's unavoidable damage about to be dished out that you wouldn't have time to top up with Union. Blessing isn't totally useless, but it just doesn't add much to SCH's kit when critdom, Soil and Whispering Dawn exist.

-Physick is still useful for 50 MINE content and doing this curbs button bloat as early as possible.

-Wouldn't really call returning assets a rework. They did it for PLD mid patch, no problem.

SCH already has all of its bases covered with healing, to be honest. Also I've learned Physick still helps in harder ARR content, so this change will help button bloat while not screwing that level bracket.

Protraction is the best of SCH’s 3 spreadlo amplifiers from a use perspective, I’d prefer to delete union over deleting protraction. I also think protraction is more useful than physick at 50 MINE, I honestly don’t care about 50 MINE anymore, just reduce the mana cost of adlo to cover it

There is a lot of SCH’s kit I would potentially consider worthy for deletion but protraction is not one of them unless they bake it into recitation

[SoraLuna]

I would hope for Recitation to affect Seraphism abilities, because the MP drain is real with it

Honestly, if the abilities stayed I'd be fine. I'm mainly looking for things to trim down because we all know we're not getting more DPS abilities until we curb the button bloat.
