Tikey Wrote:I wish I could get the gc manuals, but I've been spending my seals on promotions. Haha.

Polantaris Wrote:That's what I do as well. It doesn't seem possible to use Seals for anything except them, at least on your first class.

Flonne Wrote:Why is it always the class that I decide on first that's the worst one in the game? After wiping over 100 times on Demon Wall in AK due to lack of healing potency I started to wonder if maybe, just maybe, Scholar is an abortion of a class that needs at least a 2-3x potency buff to even be on par with WHM, so I tried on a friend's WHM; lo and behold, everything that was once insanely difficult, absurdly difficult, retardedly difficult, was suddenly doable with my eyes closed. With a much higher gear level, I couldn't even heal for Aurum Vale on SCH, much less AK or Wanderer's; on WHM, I can heal for every piece of content I've run into thusfar without giving myself carpal tunnel, because you need an APM of a 47658268263 just to make SCH semi-mediocre. Why do they do this, why. Why do they put clearly unbalanced classes in a game that is supposed to be complete, because every fucking game I've ever played, I've found THAT CLASS. Without fail, every single time. Luckily, grinding in this game is easy, so I'll just roll WHM and have it 50 by the end of the weekend, still frustrating how much time I wasted on a worthless class though.

That section may help you. SCH is a good class, their barriers and damage mitigation are pretty amazing.

Flonne Wrote:A couple days for me; never really looked at it hourwise but you get +50% exp from FATEs and stuff once you have a level 50. I have 4-5 classes at 30+ now without too much effort.



I know how to use the class, it just isn't that good. The only benefit is battle res, and you don't need that when nobody ever dies.

The barriers are terrible at endgame aside from crit aldoquim; succor isn't even worth mentioning, you shouldn't even hotkey that garbage, I tried making it useful and it just flat isn't, 150 potency is nothing. Sacred Soil only reduces 10% damage and lasts 15 seconds; that's OK, but not good enough, especially when it takes away a Lustrate cast. Fairy is retarded and gets hit by literally every aoe at endgame, and is very hard to control when you are trying to keep it from casting things until pressure points in the fight. I thought it may have just been because I didn't use macros for a while, but when I tried them I found I was only gaining a few fractions of a second (and less carpal tunnel), which still just wasn't enough, not even close. Macros are really just for people without high reaction times for targeting.

Thunder Wrote:Fun piece of knowledge. Succor if used the moment someone starts raising, it negates the death debuff.
