Scholar... SAY WHUT?

[Radacci]

Maybe arcanist as a class is different or powerful enough as a class to be included in its own right with Summoner?

haha, just no that's even more weird than it being Scholar.
Well for me i believe it's SCH (or some other job, using book), so it's not weird for me; but for those that don't think it's SCH.

unless it comes from Musketeer, which would just be great to watch unfold after the ARC > BRD incident ... or maybe they've even finally caved of class to job branching.

This would be so deliciously hilarious I almost hope that is what happened....almost. The nerd rage that would ensue...

I'm not going to lie, it might be the longest shot in history but I think it would be creative to see that side of Lominsa. Think about it - neat, military bliauds and dress pants (skirts for teh ladies, short because, you know, can't be trippin' over that thing on the battlefield /totallynotsuspicious) on the intellectual elite of Lominsa, who wield both tactical, battlefield manipulating magics on one hand and TP-boosting physical damage weaponskill dealing sidearm flintlocks with the other.

HOW. BADASS.

Chances are, those in the foreground are jobs (with the exception of the Arcanist "Below the Monk, above the Black Mage") and those in the background might simple be classes with various pieces of equipment on - it's nice to hope though.

..the intellectual elite of Lominsa...

I think that is an oxymoron

I think Scholar would be more at home in Grid or Uldah.

[Alhanelem]

how come nobody is talking about the fact that SE snuck a scholar into the Desktop artwork they recently released?

People have talked about it. Lots.

However, that doesn't mean you should get excited for scholar coming out anytime soon, because it's not. Sometime down the road, I'm sure.

Intelligence runs on pretty much a bell curve, even when comparing the homeless to Fortune 500 CEOs. Lominsa wouldn't have lasted very long as a nation without some gifted people at the helm. Warships, navigation, unique architecture engineered to the island itself...

Either way, Summoner is on the cover of the CE and Scholar is not. I'd say that's a hint to not get our hopes up about it existing anytime soon, never mind being related at all to MSK, who is far and away more likely to be Corsair - a magical gambling job with an offhand flintlock for TP and WS.

I knowww, but I defend me nation. Admiral shoots first and asks questions if she feels like it.
