Scholar

Type: Support Shield Healer
Job Mastery Difficulty: Attack Rotation: Easy ; Skill Knowledge: Advanced
RP Non-WoL: Yes
Pros: A Solid class for shielding, healing, and a potent party damage utility.
Cons: Reliance on its oGCD healing can be fatal for the party if overused. MP Management is essential

Best Used By

• Veteran Players looking to Shield Heal and can predict incoming damage while also having good regen healing.

Special Notes

• Double Weaving any fairy commands (Fey Healing, Illumination, etc.) is not desirable and should be avoided as there is a significant delay from the fairy which causes clipping with the GCD window.
• Just like the Summoner, the pet does count towards any stack mechanics.
• Fairy Potency is roughly .93 of Player’s potency. In full party with full 5% role bonuses, the potency is .89.

Rotational Tips

• Broil should always be used and slidecasted as often as possible. Only opt to use Ruin II when badly out of position. Refreshing Bio for longer movement time is preferable than using Ruin II.
• With the new GCD speed of this tier, double weaving is not preferable for the SCH.
• Shields apply faster now (during slidecast window), however, double weaving Deployment Tactics after Adloquium should be avoided as it will clip the GCD timer due to how long Adlo takes to cast.
• Keep Chain Stratagem and Lucid (unless >9k MP) on cooldown
• Refresh Bio at 0-2s left without dropping Bio
• Using Dissipation first does have some benefits where you can fully utilize the 2000 mp boost from
• Aetherflow, have your fairy 15s earlier and aligns Aetherflow to fully use 6 Energy Drains. However, the risk is that it can change how healing is planned out and can affect your ability use 6 Energy Drains in the future of the fight.

• Remember that how you use abilities in these openers is flexible and not strictly defined. If you need a heal, you need a heal.

Special Notes

• Kardia is not a target and forget. Use Kardia to regen heal players instead of GCD healing to maximize MP/Addersgall conservation and DPS output.

Patch 7.0 Opener and Rotations | The Balance: Sage
