I will be the first to admit that I do not have the mindset or temperament to play a pure healer all that well, but SCH meshes very well with my own thought process and playstyle.

I think that is why I vibe with Scholar. I unlocked Sage last night so I'll see what I think of it, but I get DPS anxiety from trying to nail my rotations perfectly - as scholar, I can be much more methodical and keep an eye on what needs happening and have tools to work things out if it all falls apart, or stop things from falling apart.
@Scerttle Жыл бұрын
I think another reason SCH works so well (and this applies to sage, too) is because a LOT of the damage in this game you can see coming well ahead of time and the toolkit promotes mitigating/nullifying it. IMO this gives more leeway for mistakes to be made by other party members and reduces the chance of having to panic heal someone or need to res someone after they flubbed a mechanic.

I played scholar for a long while, but switched to Sage during Endwalker. However, after actually playing the game in a static during Abyssos, and learning a *lot* about how to properly heal, I’m considering switching back to scholar. It also helps that I found various options in the game to improve how ground targeting feels to me, making fairy movement and sacred soil feel a lot better to use.
@TheWickedWizardOfOz110 ай бұрын
What would those ground targeting tips be? I have set a macro of "Sacred Soil=self" that allows me to run to the middle and Soil it before getting back to my position if need be, and I have found it much faster than manually click click clicking to set it down, but I'm always open for more optimal ways to handle it.
@enlongjones239410 ай бұрын
@@TheWickedWizardOfOz1 to give a proper answer I’ll need to get into the game’s options sometime tomorrow after the patch drops and I have time to install it. But if I remember correctly, the options I found were in the Targeting tab of either system settings or player settings (can never remember how those categories are divided). One of the best options for me was one to limit the targeting circle only to the valid range. This prevents the circle from ever going far enough that you need to drag it back into the valid range; it will hit an invisible wall, so you can always be sure that you can drop it down. The other great option is an option to activate the ground-targeted skill by clicking the same skill again. So if you’re using Sacred Soil, you can hit the Sacred Soil button again to activate it, rather than the confirm button/mouse click. This has made Ninja’s Shukuchi and Scholar’s Place particularly nice. There is also a macro command you can use for a different sort of ground targeting change. I *think* it’s called “gtoff” or something. If you include that modifier on a macro line that includes a ground-targeted action, it will immediately activate the ground target without any extra inputs, placing it wherever the default location for the targeting ring would appear. I’ve tested this out for stuff like having Ninja instantly shukuchi to the maximum distance away. But I think the first two settings would help the most for being able to more accurately drop sacred soil at long distances.

I like how our abilities play together well. Recitation, Deployment tactics, Fey Illumination, Emergency tactics, It really gets across the idea of being the smart healer to combine these in the perfect way for the situation. My go-to is throwing a Protraction on the off-tank or myself if they're both under attack, Recitation, Fey illumination, Adloquiem, then Deployment tactics to give everyone a massive shield. perfect for raid wides. I know the tooltip of adlo says that a crit adds a separate shield that doesn't get deployed, but I tested it out, and the extra shielding from the crit heal does make a noticeable difference. Way better than using a crit succor.

Initially what got me into SCH was that you had so much control over your faerie and could pick between two with different ones and you could still carry over some of your ACN dps into the job, not just being another healer. Bio, Miasma, Bane, Flare, and Drain, seeing the numbers fly appealed to my WoW-rotted brain. Then Deployment Tactics and Emergency Tactics fit the job so well, I loved the idea of a healer being able to modify their spells to fit the situation and necessities of the moment, it filled the tactician vibe so well. Controlling your adjutant faerie, assisting with damage, and adapting your healing as necessary. The job was everything the game told me it was. And then ShB came and gave the WoW treatment to every job. Lets homogenize everything so raiders stop crying... But at least the game is _(slooowly)_ clawing its way out of that pit and SCH does feel the most different of all the healers to me. For the reasons in this video; Recitation, Expedient, Baneful Impaction, Seraphism. I'd say an addition (probably unintended) to the flavour of SCH is, as far as I can tell, you can't actually lock yourself out of your own mechanics by being careless when playing other healers like you can as SCH. Seraph and Dissipation already butted heads and Seraphism just adds to that. You can't just slap your keyboard and let things figure themselves out. One of those buttons has to be pressed deliberately and with the others in mind and that, to me, just adds to the SCH fantasy of planning and adapting.

Sage main here. I agree that Sage is worse than scholar in Utility and "BIG shield". However Sage is more toward on Pure Healing and Mobilty(can GCD shield while moving, the only Healer that has GapCloser)(This Mobility is the only reason I'm stil a sage Main xD). But, don't get me wrong. I do love Sage+Scholar comp (on lv 90). The mitigations are absolutely strong. Bigger shield (Protraction + Krasis combo on Recitation Shield) , Both Kerachole and Sacred Soil can be stack together. The overlapping shield is a thing but that is very minor. Oh! also, Sage has larger range in OCGD heal and mitigation if compared to scholar (I think its to compensate the pet placement micromanage) Kerachole, Panhaima, Physis, Holos are 30yalms radius.

I'd say the Scholar abilities have mostly the same range as the Sage equivalent. Sacred Soil is 30y just like Kerachole. Whispering Dawn, which is equivalent to Physis is smaller at 15y but that's centered on the fairy and you can place her wherever. Indomitability is 15y just like Ixochole. Scholar does not have a Panhaima equivalent. Assuming Holos is similar to Summon Seraph Consolation then that is 25y which is not that much smaller. Fey Illumination is also 30y. I'd say they are mostly equivalent.

Plus, you have a faerie that just heals people constantly, and you can transform them too, for bigger heals. Plus, you get Aetherpact, one of its strongest healing-over-time tools for a single target. Love SCH.

@@brabrabra2 - Regen's potency: 250 - Aspected Benefic: 250 - Kardia/Kardion: 170, with Soteria (70% potency) 312 potency. - Aetherpact's potency: 300, that's without the 10% boosts from Fey Illumination and 10% from Protraction AND 10% from Seraphic Illumination, that's 20% (sorry, Fey and Seraphic Illumination doesn't stack) boosts VERSUS, --- WHM's Asylum of 10% and SGE's Physis II's 10%. Sure, you can't use Aetherpact as often as the other three healers but to say that they are on an equal footing is comical. You've got to remember with Fey Illumination, Protraction and Seraphic Illumination, not only Aetherpact is boosted, every healing of SCH or everyone else's healing are increased. And you talk about being disappointed? Plus, when the hell did this became a competition between all the healers? I just stated that I like SCH better because of all the tools. Not once did I mentioned that the other healers are terrible. SCH is just my preferred choice. Oh well, that's the state of internet, I suppose.

I love everything u said about SCH i main scholar than again I’ve only been playing for 2 months and it’s 2 jobs in 1 so win for me now with that said I’ve played white mage and astrologist and enjoy dueling more so win to Astro with that said I personally feel that barrier healing is the most fun, unless u like playing cards. Now that I got scholar to lvl 70 I was able to unlock sage and sage is also fun to play but at low lvls it’s every stressful since your missing so much skills I love the looks so ill probably end up switching to sage with that said keep this videos going became a fan from for shorts 👍🏾🙌🏾

While a lot of this is stuff I had already learned due to me getting into FFXIV *Specifically* out of a desire to main Scholar because literally every aspect of it feels aimed directly at me. It's really nice to hear of more people who love playing it too! Just reached 90 a couple days ago. I'm also glad to see a good guide come out, since when I first started playing and started looking for guides for Scholar, nearly everything I saw was just, "Hurr durr just play Sage! Just play sage it better" Suffice to say, I now refuse to start Sage until everything else is at 90

Scholar- for the longest while was my main healer. It's the healer I started playing first and will always find it neat to revisit atleast but now SGE is the one and only barrier healer I need. After experiencing the fluidity of that, it's tough to go back to SCH and think "Yeah, this is fun"

@Shuukuriimudaisuki-sama10 ай бұрын
As someone who has used SCH as their main healer since ARR, I can say that it is my favorite overall class after DRK. It's just so damn fun to play in every respect. There's something intoxicating about watching some boss' tankbuster or ultimate just bounce off your shields... And it kind of stimulates my brain's need to multitask, with managing faerie skills and such (though not nearly as much as it did back in the day, before we lost half their damn skills). That said, I do have anxieties when paired with SGEs. One major reason being, I think a lot of people don't realize that the final viable shield potency between Succor and Eukrasian Prognosis is ultimately the same, at least based on my math, and of course barring critical heals and the usual variance factor. Succor has higher HEAL potency, but less of that is converted into shields, compared to Prognosis which has a lower heal potency, but higher shield conversion. In the end, it's the same effect. I have so many SGEs obsessively overwriting my shields (my Deployed Critlos, too) and it honestly boggles my mind. I know the need for Addersting is there, but I keep having SGEs that spitefully overwrite beyond that need, to the point of insanity. It would be nice to have coexisting shields, beyond Catalyze and Differential Diagnosis, though I guess that could lead to other issues. Still, Scholar is such a fun job, I recommend that everyone at least give it a try.
@jonathanberry86569 ай бұрын
Actually is sages shield is overwriting your shield it just ment it gave more shield health than you had on the target at that current time. If they heal and your shield was bigger than theirs it would just give the heal, but not the shield. Game always prioritizes the shield on the target that would be bigger between the two classes. Same goes for sage vs sage and sch vs sch bigger shield always wins.
@Shuukuriimudaisuki-sama9 ай бұрын
@@jonathanberry8656 This is actually not entirely the case as far as shields from the two different classes go. I have verified that a normal Eukrasian Diagnosis will overwrite even a critical Adloquium, though not the Catalyze effect of course. However, if a normal Eukrasian Diagnosis is applied first, even a critical Adlo will not overwrite it - Diagnosis effectively prevents the Galvanize effect from even being applied, regardless of the potency. Eukrasian Prognosis overwrites Galvanize from both Adlo and Succor, again, regardless of any potency difference. The only difference here is that Prognosis can be overwritten by Succor or Adlo. You can see why this would be frustrating, because if I blow Recitation and Deployment Tactics to give the whole team a Critlo, it can be overwritten by an inferior Prognosis in just one second, and so on and so forth.

i main a sch and the main thing that is annoying to me is when the tanks flies off in the distance and he goes out of reach the moment I want to put exco on him. I'm like "mate wait up, I can't help you like this!!!" But I tried white mage which is cool but it gets me so anxious when those health bars drop XD atro was to weird for me and sage just hits different from sch ^_^ Want to try whm again sometime but first want to get a grasp of the sch toolkit. Almost all your great skills are not really necessary until halfway through or near the end of SB. At least thats what I noticed. SO yeah, currently working on really thinking about the skills i use and when. Its fun ^_^

I dropped scholar after EW came out. I was bummed about the new spells or lack thereof. I wanna get back into it because it was my fav during ShB for running Delubrum Reginae but I'm intimidated as it's been a while and I don't remember what everything does anymore, much less the new stuff.
@UmbralRYT Жыл бұрын
Take your time, its okkk 😉 I feel like SCH toolkit is pretty much the same with some minor QoL adjustment here and there? (please correct me here) and I think the new skills can be pretty much sum up as "Protraction" increases max HP with a bit of healing and buff healing actions. (single target) "Expedient" mitigates and boosts movement speed. (aoe) (There're more to it but this is a quick summary)

i would consider Scholar less Dark Academia and more Fae/Light Academia. The warm green tones are much more prominent than the deeper browns of dark academia, and with the faerie companion, it's got more of a witchy academic vibe to me

As SGE (prefer), I'd say SCH has stronger "HEALING AND SHEILDING" if they're willing to shield and heals, stronger dps, but Energy drain has to use every aetherflow+eating fairy for it while efficiently heals&shield all party members are INSANE to optimize.While SGE seperates those entirely between healing and dmging. if the party is not for you SCH is much more difficult to play to it's highest potential.

I'll be honest, I picked scholar because of the faerie pet. Before I started XIV I did a bit of research on the jobs to see what I wanted to play. I saw that there was a faerie pet class, and I said, "that's the one." My partner told me, "uh, that's a healer. You sure about that?" and I barely even hesitated. I'd never been a healer main before. But I wasn't going to give up on the faerie that easily. I love faeries. I collect them. Posters, statues, shirts, etc. So I was a little bitter when I started my scholar path as a dps caster with a weird cat pet. Lol. But I did my cross class leveling (remember those? lol) and when I hit 30 arcanist and 15 conjurer, I got my faerie, and never looked back. and here we are, ten years later... and I'm still maining scholar because I genuinely enjoy the job. It feels really versatile to me, like I feel like I have a tool for ever situation. I've got shields and dots and I can convert the shields into pure healing, I've got damage reduction, and my aoe is instant so I can weave oGCD healing in no problem. I've tried other healers, and while they're all fine, and I can play them fine, it takes a lot more... thought process on my end. Scholar just *clicks* for me in a way that none of the others do.

The great thing about Scholar is it puts the game on easy mode. Can't get past Venta in Elpis? No worries, switch to Scholar and it's a cake walk. Because of the fairy you rarely have to stop to self heal when out in the world. Just dps and Eos will keep you alive.
