Split out of the main 3/10 patch thread. There's a lot of SCH-specific changes - starting with AF and their own Genkai 5, but it goes on from there.
A quick google suggests that this is a German word relating to climate. Maybe something to improve the chances of weather effects going off?
Wow. That's an enormous buff right there. From 30+ you can use TWICE as many stratagems as before, and it just gets better at 50 and 70.
Even /SCH can now get two charges and recharge every 2 minutes.
I'm not quite sure what this means. A slow-motion convert? I guess we'll have to try it out and see. Sounds useful though. And subbable.
Which spells this applies to should be listed on the scrolls now (please post in this thread once DAT miners have a revised item list). One of the current known issues is that they accidentally didn't add it to the scrolls for Reraise, Raise II, Reraise II and Sleep II - all of which should now be SCH usable with the right addendum up. (Therefore, presumably, so is Sleep I.) Reraise is 40, Raise II 70, Reraise II 75 and Sleep II 65.
The low level of addendum:white suggests that slow and paralyze may be included in it - so you can have them regardless of SJ.
It's interesting that these are abilities - it suggests that they may have recasts longer than a minute so you can't activate them every time you change arts (otherwise they could have just made them traits). This will definitely make SCH more complex, but also more powerful.
Regardless of subjob. Awesome. Between that and addenda, I think SCH subjob choices just got shaken up in a big way, as many of the abilities SCH formerly chose their subjob to get may be available from their main.
Sweet. Especially when you can use those so much more often - by the time you get those at all, your stratagem charge time will already be down to 2 min.
For the better, one hopes. I haven't gotten these yet but reportedly the proc rate is pretty sad for the cost and time invested.
Good for slow, paralyze and silence, if you're /WHM or /RDM or they're included in Addendum: White.
Separate icons for LA and DA, nice. Wonder if stratagems and addenda will have their own icons too...
All in all, I think this is the biggest single-update buff I've seen to any job, ever (although not quite as big as the entire history of PUP improvements from introduction to the present.)
If anyone finds (through DAT mining or just being one of the first people to log on) the stats of SCH AF, or scrolls with SCH/Addendum levels listed on them, please post them in this thread or in another thread in the Scholar forum.
