Some Big Issues I Have With Scholar.

I placed this forum here since I can't make a screen name on the FFXI forum. ><

Not a QQ. Feel free to comment your thoughts on the issues.

This is all my opinion on Scholar and some of my issues on it. Some of these ideas may be close to others ideas so I'm not taking credit for it I'm just trying to get this job back on its feet and point out some ideas.

*Scholar is a strategic mage, so it should be a superior mage job using it strategically*

1.) I agree that SCH does need Cure V or at least something some SCH unique healing spells that can cure more than a simple Cure IV.

- A simple thought: Why not make a Scholar healing spell that is directly enhanced with -Enmity and capable to be modified w/ stratagems. The less enmity the SCH has the more the healing spell will do. This will put the spell Animus Minuo in great effect upon a SCH and also put "Libra" to more usage. I say this spell should be at a tier I-V spell starting from low levels and increasing in tier at certain levels.

2.) The set bonus "Augments Grimoire" is pretty much a waste if its just "Quick Cast." We should have something like occasionally gives free stratagems.
- Bottom Line: First off "Quick Cast" isn't a big boost for us. The funny thing is that "Quick cast" would only be really useful towards Nukes and maybe casting a reraise/raise/stone/blink/aqua spell. BLM has Elemental Celerity II and armor that reduces the casting time to a very short time for nukes which really just kicks a nuking SCH with "Quick cast" in the balls.. There's also an issue when using Immanence on a closing nuke and "Quick Cast" procs it doesn't SC from what I see.

3.) the Savant's Gown +1/+2 enhanced Addendum: White/Black WTF does it do??? If its less enmity for spells under current art that would just be a waste unless the Healing/Nuking spells are enhanced w/ enmity for example Nuke damage increase w/ +enmity, healing magic increase potency w/ -enmity. And using add. white gives -enmity and add. black gives +enmity

4.) SCH is known for the strategic mage that can AoE spells. We should be the only job that can AoE all spells while others are limited to certain spells. Look at BLM they have -ja spells now so it still keeps BLM higher. SMN has hastega with Garuda so there should be another source that can give hastega also. Another thing I don't understand why SCH can't AoE helices spells..Its a SCH unique spell why wouldn't it be capable w/ our job abilities /facepalm.

5.) Klimaform the recast time is long as hell and it lasts for 1 min..either increase the duration or reduce the recast time.

6.) Make some gear or a weapon that "Enhances the potency of Adloquium Schema" that could also stack with other gear with the same enhances.

7.) Modus Veritas missing is just so damn lame it should be 100% but if stacked the percentage goes down further.

8.) Enlightenment should not only reduce the MP cost of both spells with your next magic spell (as if your light arts or dark arts),
but also allow you to use the both dark/light stratagems for next spell.

**(Optional)** our 2 hour should change to "Crimson Grimoire" once you defeat Gunther in Survival of the Wisest. This grimoire is the ultimate grimoire which would have all our stratagems completely free and spells at our usage w/o the addendum.

I mean seriously SCH is like the most unused job so far. SE needs to focus a bit more on trying to make it useful.
