Tank LBs are really funny and make me laugh 100% of the time. I laugh double hard when it's at a completely inappropriate time instead of a joke at 3%.

Technically scholar shields are ablation, not mitigation.

Not sure if someone posted a video of it yet, but Omega V4S's transition, man. This poo poo is hype. https://clips.twitch.tv/AdventurousSmoggyPorcupineKreygasm?tt_medium=clips_embed&tt_content=player_title So do you think it will continue with FFV and go into the other Superbosses like that Void Necromancer from the remakes, go into other FF game villains in general or just the games that Omega appeared in?

Scholars are oGCD Healers who don't in practice have shields or ways to mitigate damage now that we no longer have SuperVirus. We're really great as oGCD Healers though.

ImpAtom posted:Okay? So if nobody ever uses Succor for anything, ever, why can I pull up a video of people clearing Neo Exdeath who are regularly using Succor? Or are they just Bad? okay. let's actually unpack this lunacy, since this might be instructive for new healers 1) there is basically no such thing as a useless button on a healer, philosophically. just because a button is undertuned or bad doesn't mean it's useless. i said to remove succour from that one guy's bar not as general advice, but as a one-time learning experience, and i'm pretty sure that anyone who wasn't a blithering idiot would have read it that way. 1.5) people are specifically shifting away from other comps to whm/ast right now in NED, specifically because effective mitigation is so critical for consistency right now 1.55) perhaps people doing content at like 25 ilvls below intention are not the best people for someone literally asking how to sch to emulate 2) literally nothing about scholars using succour in ned implies that they're the "mitigation healer" holy gently caress. you had to swiftcast a succour in a particular place to clear a8s undergeared too! that doesn't make them the shield healer anymore than paladin was the invincibility tank

This thread is like 90% chill and then 10% people freaking the gently caress out at people and it's really annoying. I'm not blameless here (as the avatars can show) but it's really bizarre how insanely quickly things change from "people being chill" to freaking out at Fister Robo or whatever. If I'm wrong, fine, I'm wrong, but "being wrong about a video game" isn't something that warrents that kind of response.

It's hard to read tone on a message board and if you didn't intend it that way then I apologize for taking it too seriously. Especially on SA it's really hard to tell when the line crosses. (I also don't think I called anyone out randomly since I was just responding to people but if it read that way then I also apologize.) Succor is still bad and I am not arguing against that.

Generally I like to hold onto LB3 until a boss is around 15%, by that point it's pretty clear whether we'll need it for Healer LB3 to save us from the purgatory of doing the fight again. If we're at 15% and I have not hit that button it's because I'm dead, the boss is doing a move that will make the LB wasted, or we might need it (in which case I'll hit it at 10%.) Only time I'll burn it before then is with bosses that have gimmicks that boost your LB gauge, like the last boss in Sohr Kai or Halicarnassus. There's also a few cool thresholds where you can skip some end boss phases in the dungeons if you do your LB's right, the main ones I know like the back of my hand are: Last Boss of Ruby tide, if she's <20% when she summons the adds to go into her third Thick Fog phase, ignore the adds and LB2 her, that combined with your other DPS will kill her before she wastes a minute of your time. Last boss of Bardam's Mettle: Melee LB2 at 16-17% and you'll skip the Wings phase of the fight (it transitions at 13% after casting Unbound Winds once more. Timing's a bit tight here, if the LB goes off as it jumps that's a wasted LB.) Notably you can't skip the last boss of the Ala Mhigo's final phase. He transitions super-quick at 13% and LB2 only does 8% of his health.

Am I crazy, or is Miasma 2 around 3x better than it used to be? It seems like it's even worth spamming on 3+ mobs, if you can afford the mp.

Honestly ast feels a lot more like a feature complete class than SCH does. yeah, right now the reason to play scholar is because you enjoy the scholar ethos. it's competitive with ast just on the numbers (chain strat is dumb, quickened aetherflow is super good) and its comparative advantage is still probably being able to recover from disasters better than noct ast can. but noct ast has some really important comparative advantages too, and with the card rework it's also much more straightforward to play.

They changed it from (off the top of my head so exact number may be wrong) Potency 20 + a 10 potency DoT + debuffs to 100 potency + 25 potency but no debuffs. It's basically a different ability entirely except the animation and name.

They essentially combined blizzard II and old miasma II and ripped out the debuffs. I haven't played scholar with it, but from my understanding miasma II is now very cool and good vs before where it was only good for instant disease or if there were 5+ mobs.

My buddy in game plays a paladin and does megapulls every time. I would adlo prepull, apply dots bane and slam m2 until his health hits half. Lustrate adlo then Lustrate again if needed and go back to dpsing. Is there a better thing I could be doing to make it so I wont have to heal as much? Can fey union take over for me at 70 on one of the giant pulls before last boss? I'm also, gasp, a filthy selene siccer. Do you just blow her 4th ability right when dps start hitting every time? I'd like to work on putting her on Obey after I get the main stuff down.

incidentally, the new quickened aetherflow implementation is actually kind of a significant buff to dissipation, which is really funny once you think about the idea of dropping 9 lustrates in like 15 seconds
