Thank you, person I stumbled into. You are the only one so far who posted what Scholar's Seraphism looks like AT THE FRONT instead of THE BACK!

Im just astonished the hrothgar is capable of wearing clothe on their heads 0.0

Currently watching all your media tour videos and random but every time I see your logo in lightning I think it’s a new skill LOL

Have you heard about our Lady and Saviour Seraphism?

I absolutely hate the angel form :( Ever since ARR I've wanted sch to get a fairy form cooldown and they do this :(

7:02 - So in other words, during Seraphism, SCH can poop out a new 432 (non-crits) potency partywide barrier every 2.5 sec as an instant cast while WHM gets a single 400 potency party barrier every 2 mins after Temperance AND SCH can use Emergency Tactics to, instead, do raw healing of 672 AOE potency instead, eclipsing Cure 3? Granted, it's a CD, but good LORD is that powerful!

Recitation working on the transformed versions of Adlo and Conci (new Succor) during Seraphism is *wild* 🤯

They went crazy on Seraphism

I’m also in the camp of loving the visual theme of Seraphism. I know some people really wanted the ability to have a tactician’s visuals, but personally I think the ability does well to blend the two themes of being a tactician with a Seraph summon. The function of the ability satisfies my tactician fantasy, you enter a state where you can unleash your tactics unburdened by limitations. Meanwhile, the visual of the ability satisfies my ‘Commanding Seraph’ fantasy as, in order to enter this state, you must ascend to a Seraphic form that can handle the mental burden (just like how we upgrade our fairy to Seraph). My only criticism is that I wish the execution of the visuals was better. I feel that, although the effects of the spell casts look great, the angel costume is lacking. I wished we could have had a transformation closer to something like FF7’s Sephiroth. Ok, maybe not EXACTLY Safer Sephiroth, but something more biblical to put in mind that we are ascending would have been nice. Maybe some VFX too, perhaps God rays and clouds idk.

I'd love to see you do an in-depth how to guide for Scholar. It's my main, but I feel I'm not using it to the potential I could.

I wish I could justify playing sch, because it has some cool stuff, but sage does all the same things so much smoother: free movement without potency loss, defensive tools that are instant instead of requiring 5 seconds to setup, idle generation of resources instead of needing to cast aetherflow, ogd heals that are truly free instead of costing dmg, having all your stuff available instead of having half of your toolkits disappear when your fairy is gone, or when your fairy is big so she can only do half the stuff, or when you are the fairy so you cannot eat the fairy. I love fat shields but I’m not willing to give up all the comforts for only one good thing 😢

they could literally just increase the potency of Energy Drain and add a stacking effect. The more you use in a row, the stronger they are and maybe they add a status effect and a final burst if you burn all three at once. It would give us more DPS and will prevent us from sitting on AF stacks in high end fights we will have to make a decision whehter to pump more DPS or save for heals

It still doesn’t fix the experience in Roulettes. SCH: (Casts Seraphism) Behold the culmination of ALL my power!!! SGE: (Overwrites with unbuffed E.Prog) Haha, E.Prog goes brrr!

New scholar looks great but like I hate that the Selene gauge can’t be used for others things.

Wow seraphism looks awful

am i the only person that still hates dissipation? the whole point of the sch is the fairy helping in combat then theres an awkward ability that... orders it away? sure a bit of healing spell potency increase but you lose access to all your fairy abilities. no regen, fey blessing, fey illumination, fairy tether, seraph / consolation and now the OP seraphism. like can we pls rework or change it?

is that an helmet on a hrotgar?

Im sure im in the minority here but the angelic form is a HUGE turn off for me visually.

i want to get into scholar but i hate the energy drains, wished they removed that in dawntrail

OMG Like OMG I need a bigger caps button for OMG

SCH MY BABYYYY!!!! Please, Cole, tell me Selene/Eos are actually fixed an are not making microwave noises!!! Also curious about Seraphism, still not 100% on the look, but it looks better from the front (Reminds me of Eden Ryne primal form). How does it feel to play?

With this... SCH has the most healing output bar-none. Instant cast aoe heal + shields for *20 seconds*. There is no mechanic that lasts that long, let alone needing that much healing. They better add damage for SCH to be healing, or this is an incredibly excessive healing capability. Wow... I mean, Im going to have fun healing, but there better be damage to heal.

Bro set the record for using the word “like”.

Scholar having a magical girl transformation is really funny to me.

Maaaaan, being a whm main is pain, i just gotta see everyone having fun, tho it could be worse

I kind of like that you can't see the eyes, it makes the whole thing look more threatening than I thought.

Wasn't there supposed to be reduced cd on recitation?

My plan for my SCH rotation: Aetherflow -> Biolysis -> Pop Chain Stratagem -> Pop Not-Miasma II -> Broil IV -> Ruin 2 -> Energy Drain -> Broil IV -> Ruin 2 -> Energy Drain -> Broil IV -> Ruin 2 -> Energy Drain -> Eat the Faerie -> Broil IV -> Ruin 2 -> Energy Drain -> Broil IV -> Ruin 2 -> Energy Drain -> Broil IV -> Ruin 2 -> Energy Drain I removed the Aetherflow abilities from my hot bar except Excog and Energy Drain and Excog is my backup plan. It was all in an effort to improve SCH by nerfing myself and using Dissipation & Energy Drain to help my DPS feel less monotonous. If we're effectively getting the ability to supercharge the healing skills I still use, it's made the skills I've removed even more redundant. Though...admittedly, I am still kinda grumbling that SCH's pure healing is getting even better after the whole "we're bringing back the distinction of Pure healing and shield healing", which I felt didn't work because functionally, it didn't matter that AST & WHM were better pure healers because the healing requirements didn't really make SCH or SGE struggle with pure healing to rely on their shields. At least for the vast majority of content. I didn't do Savage this expansion, so I cannot comment there as I've slipped down into a semi-casual player. I was able to make my SCH more of a shield healer by removing the skills that may me a better pure healer.

Now we know where and what was Angel doing instead of appearing in tekken

I will mod the dumbass tablecloth look away. If I ever use this Seraphism it will be for the AoE regen and keep broiling. I will not cosplay as a WHM, the whole reason I play as a SCH is because of its military academic.

Its kinda lame that the animation doesnt change to flying instead of walking. When i saw the showcase trailer i thought it was like crystalizing the skin and stuff too

Still not a huge fan of Seraphism, but it does look way better than i initially thought. Glad I get to remain Hrotghar 😁 I can live with this I find it suprising that Scholar still have 3 min CDs, since everything else seems pushed to 1 or 2 mins

Angel wings on scholar doesn’t make sense….on white mage maybe but not on strategic book worm scholar. Now at first I was like wow cool shiny and now that clarity kicks in I’m like yea wrong job lol. Maybe more fairies or fairy wings but why copy white mage? It’s like such low hanging fruit to just copy and rehash something from another job that already has that a part of their identity.

I decided a while ago I would main SCH in DT purely because I view it as my characters "default" job and she being a nerdy archeologist seems to fit the theming of the expansion and just hearing all I feel pretty vindicated in that decision.

As a sch personally im feasting.

still want to be abel to chose if u want to use the fairy or not, like yeah u can make her go away for a time being but i want to just choose do i want the fairy yes or no

So it is an upgrade to succor? And not just renamed? Hmm, wonder when we get access to it then.

i mean that is nice and all but aren't we now the least mobile healer basically? at least in terms of damage uptime? whm can move lossless with afflatusses, glare IV during burst (there have been multiple instances of heavy movement during burst this tier) and is getting an en avant, sage has a plethora of ways and AST has lightspeed for extended periods of movement like superchain. we have... ruin II? which is falling even further behind in potency as it looks now. it seems i am the only one who would have loved something like phlegma (balls)?

Instant cast shields, yeeesssss! 😭

Just saying MVP for this new expansion is hands down SCH

with so much healing, raid bosses are gonna do stupid amounts of damage lol

Going to stay not playing until they give scholar a better dps rotation

ugh you have to say every change is good or not invited next year?

What is sir-raff? For God’s sake Cole put it in Google translate 😂😂 you’re killin me here

Fantastic video

But I love my Sage...... however going biblical is too good to pass up!

S-air-uh-fism* ^^'

wait untill they fix it because to broken and OP

As a person that loves healing and hates DPSing...I get some people miss old SB SCH's kit, but I'm honestly happy we AREN'T getting the SGE treatment. Chain has a follow-up oGCD weave and otherwise I'm left alone while also given a BONKERS new healing tool. I'm super happy about SCH and WHM's changes, and will be maining them both in DT. I'll leave SGE to the people that want to do more DPSing. Everyone wins. Well, most everyone...

I still don't like dissipation and I think they could of come up with something better. Idk I still hate dissipation and want that skill to get reworked. Or Atleast if I eat my fairy that it, it resummons in the spot I ate it in.

Cole I love watching your videos but can you please look up how to say words before you make your videos because sometimes it’s so hard to watch when you say things wrong like “seraphism” and “seraph.” Seraph is not like giraffe. Seraph is like SARE-uff and seraphism is like SARE-uf-ism.

I still don’t like how seraphism makes characters look, but it does sound powerful and fun. Baneful Impaction seems okay but what I’d really like to see is the PVP version of Deployment Tactics (acts like Bane on enemies) and ideally another DoT.

I dont like the seraphism visuals and wish I could turn it off. if not, I simply wont play SCH anymore.
