Change Energy Drain. (SCH)

[Zarkovitch]

Yep you hear it change it as a 30 sec or 60 sec cd off global cooldown to press with no ressource attach to it with 2 stacks. Reasoning it's easy, a lot party finder sch are too griefter to hold aetherflow for defensive purpose. I saw it on my M9S-M10S-M11S runs on my alt. Hearing a sch say ''we need party mits'' when all party mits are cds and only person who didnt use his, the scholar, it's such a great feeling of griefting the party.

Enough is enough. I don't care it's a player issue or my theme job, it's show time to time on every expansion this ability since is release playerbase is too dumb to use it properly. Change it as no ressource attach to it will fix the skill issue.

[Carighan]

Wat? I don't even the whole point. That someone can misuse their CDs is something you want to... fix? For all classes I take it, right? Not just Scholar. No more misusing any CD, offensive or defensive, the game does it all for you?

[Supersnow845]

Hey guys what if we just destroy the thing that holds the last shreds of decent healer design together because I, who am decidedly not a SCH player, don’t like getting “griefed” in PF

Wanna present your favourite job for me to carve off fun points

[VictorSpoils]

The last shred of good healer design and it's an unupgraded arcanist skill with no potency and an unscaled self-heal.

[Supersnow845]

Really says alot about healers doesn’t it

"Hi devs, I hate that people can make mistake. Can you please turn all jobs to 1 button spam and traits that uses cooldowns automatically?"

We're really reaching even greater height of apathy here, eh... not that I blame the OP for that, lol.

[Carighan]

Oh I blame OP for that. It's that entire type of player why we have all the issues with modern MMORPG class design (not just here, in all MMOs) to begin with.

[Azurarok]

the mindset that anything that feels like a dps loss is a sin sure has been cancer to this game

Funny thing, the devs did exactly what OP asks for back in 5.0, by removing Energy Drain entirely (and thereby removing the incentive to spend Aetherflow on Offensive actions instead of Defensive/Healing actions).

The Job's design fell apart at the seams without ED to act as a 'spare stack dump', and many players complained that SCH felt terrible when you were forced to choose between overcapping stacks, or overhealing via spending stacks on un-needed Lustrates, and so the devs rushed to re-add Energy Drain.

We've been through this song and dance before. SGE barely gets away with 'dump stacks on overhealing' by hamfistedly tying your MP economy to it, and even then it feels pretty bad to throw Druocholes at yourself just for the 700MP. Same with WHM, purposely overhealing with Lilies to prepare a Misery for the 2min window, but somehow it's only SCH that is getting blasted by OP

we've been back to folks asking to have it removed again since EW, which moved the mp recovery to Aetherflow and Energy Drain's become freely weavable from the 1.5s Broil. In ShB it functioned as a pseudo-mobility/weaving resource as RuinII + ED used to add up to the potency of a Broil.

ShB rightfully gets a lot of shit for the damage done to the role but I really feel EW's changes shouldn't be downplayed as much as it does (not accusing you of doing so but certain communities tend to).
