Scholar Discussion attempt #2

[Priran]

It's specified that the effect has to produce a steady source of magic. Soul Voice isn't really giving you anything in terms of magic, you're just performing better.

Azure Lore might work but I don't think it really matters, the quest is easy enough.

[Popsiclestick]

I know someone tested this as sub with the JAs..

All i can say is that using either Light or Dark will turn the appropriate skills for your main to B but not over.

This will not make a rdm have higher than normal enfeeble but just higher divine and dark skill to B level.

/SCH Light Arts Stoneskin for melee jobs? Hmmm.

[Priran]

/SCH Light Arts Stoneskin for melee jobs? Hmmm.

or sub NIN for better damage mitigation plus offensive bonuses?

...scholar doesn't get stoneskin?

[evilpaul]

RDM does?

Azure Lore does indeed work.

[Ryushii]

What is the MP pool like for scholar?

[Tour]

RDM does?

He was specifically talking about melee jobs ^.^ /

[Ohemgee]

Do you need to be /RDM to get Graviga.

[Popsiclestick]

anyone else missing deoderize? I hope they didn't skip over invisible and sneak ; ;

[Bagel]

/SCH Light Arts Stoneskin for melee jobs? Hmmm.

Please tell me this is a joke. For multiple reasons.

[Motenten]

Can anyone provide me with a list of stats for scholar? (hp/mp/str/dex/etc) Level doesn't matter, but preferably over level 10, and note race and subjob. Thanks.

[Popsiclestick]

Taru 14 SCH/7 BLM
STR 11
DEX 17
VIT 13
AGI 19
INT 24
MND 15
CHR 18

I think i put 1 hp merit in
160HP / 165MP

Allow me to translate what I think he may have meant:

"Perhaps a Red Mage or White Mage could sub scholar in an effort to use Light Arts to make Stoneskin AoE. I think this would be beneficial in merit situations to buff the melee jobs, Similar to Earthen Ward or Diamondhide."

Accession is level 40

finally got the quest done, would like to clarify on the 2hr bit:

basically you need a 2hr with a sustained effect. they specifically talk about manafont and chainspell working, but benediction can't. I'd assume that you could use any sustained 2hr though. I saw someone use blood weapon and it worked fine.

Just tried Blood Weapon, and I'm sad to say it certainly did not work for me. The NPC tells you as much too before you try, but I thought I'd give it a go since she said it in a doubtful way.

[Maksudyst]

Hundred Fists does not work.

[Naramaska]

I just saw a Scholar NPC in Campaign cast a Helix; it did very little initial damage (50ish) but the DoT was about 1% of the campaign mob's health per tick.

For reference...just how much health, percentage-wise, did "normal" things takes off like regular hits or WS's?

[Ryushii]

Do you need to be /RDM to get Graviga.

Yes, RDM is the only job with Gravity anyway.
