Overview
Quenching their lifelong thirst for learning, Scholars have accumulated a greater body of knowledge than ever before! They have new, creative uses for their mystical skills to support allies and frustrate enemies. Although Scholars do not boast the sheer power of their counterpart, the
High Wizard, their inventive applications of magic are their keys to victory.
Scholars are the transcendent version of
Sages. Through rebirth, Scholars gain class-defining SP manipulative skills such as
Soul Exhale×,
Indulge×, and
Soul Siphon×. The two former skills enable Scholars to act as endless sources of SP, which makes them a favorable class for
party play. The third SP-manipulating skill, Soul Siphon, allows Scholars to offensively eliminate all of their opponent's SP, making Scholars a formidable class for
PvP× and
WoE×.
Job Change Guide
To become a Scholar, you must find a book called 'the Book of Ymir' in 'Sage Castle',
Juno×. The book will lead you to Valhalla so you can change your job through the Lord Knight job
NPC×. Also you must reach at least job level 40 as a transcendent 1st class character.
1.Sage Castle is located at 11 o'clock direction (yuno 88,320) in Juno.
2.'Book of Ymir' is located inside a room behind an NPC called Metheus Sylphe (yuno_in02 88,164).
3.The Book of Ymir (yuno_in02 94,206) will teleport you to Valhalla.
4.Find and talk to a job NPC suited to your 2nd class.
Builds
Hindsight
This is similar to the
Hindsight Sage build. However, a Scholar is able to further enhance the efficiency of
Hindsight× by using the skill Double Bolt, which vastly improves damage compared to a Sage. Note that this build requires a constant
Sage Spirit× link from a
Soul Linker to function effectively. This build is less vulnerable to silence due to the automatic-casting nature of Hindsight, and can deal high amounts of damage. Some builds will take VIT as well to increase
HP×, or DEX for casting speed. Largely a PvM build, Hindsight types are rare in WoE and
MVP× scenarios.
INT/DEX Bolter
- STR: 1
- AGI: 1
- VIT: 1-60
- INT: 120+
- DEX: 110-130
- LUK: 1
Considered a PvP build, the
Bolter utilizes high INT, Foresight, Fiber Lock and Double Bolt to inflict massive damage on their foes. They can also render their opponents semi-useless with Soul Siphon. This build allows Scholars to perform the same supportive roles as support-type Scholars due to their high DEX, high maximum
SP×, and similarity between skill builds, in addition to having offensive options. However, having minimal VIT leaves this build more vulnerable to
stun× and
silence× status effects than support builds in PvP and WoE scenarios. Refer to the
Bolter
section for information on PvP tactics.
VIT/DEX Support
- STR: 1-40
- AGI: 1
- VIT: 80-100
- INT: 1-40 (only 3x INT is needed to have enough MATK for Frost Diver and Heaven's Drive to seldom miss foes)
- DEX: 130+
- LUK: 1
The Support type is the most common build among Scholars. Although they come in a large variety of stats, their common point is the maxed DEX and their very low INT (can be hybridized), which makes solo leveling for them via bolts neigh impossible. They are however much preferred for party play with classes that heavily rely on SP.
INT/AGI/STR Melee
- STR: 1-80
- AGI: 70-110
- VIT: 1-50
- INT: 91-110
- DEX: 1-75
- LUK: 1-30
This build does not differ much, stat-wise, from their Sage counterpart. However Double Bolt greatly enhances their offensive capability, while Foresight offsets their generally low DEX when bolting manually. Coupled with the Sage Spirit buff of Soul Linkers, they can deal high amounts of damage. They can also render their opponents semi-useless with Soul Siphon or support their allies with Soul Exhale. These builds vary largely, some even using pure melee damage for attacking. Hybrids can deal with many situations, but are usually not optimal in a certain field. They are fairly rare in WoE/PVP activities. Unusually, they can use automatic-casting equipment to further supplement Hindsight.
Tactics
PvM
Although INT based or Battle builds can opt to solo, Scholars are much preferred for party play thanks to Indulge and Soul Exhale. It allows them to team up with classes that require lots of SP to do the killing, mostly
Snipers,
Monks/
Champions, and
Lord Knights.
MVP
In addition to everything Sages can do, Scholars can refill the SP of needy classes and use Fiber Lock to immobilize monsters.
WoE
Besides the Sage skills already available to them, they get further use in supporting SP needy classes with Soul Exhale. They can also make use of Soul Siphon and Soul Exhale to strip other classes of their SP, or Fiber Lock, to stop anyone in their tracks.
PvP
Bolter
- Fire Bolt Combo: Anything that does not massively stack MDEF× or wear Fire elemental armor can be decimated by Stone Curse× + double Fiber Lock + Double Bolt Fire Bolt× combos. Damage can be further amplified by standing on Volcano× and using
Imp Card
s.
- Distraction: Utilizing Soul Siphon can render any foe semi-useless, but do note that this type of disablement is temporary. SP recovery items like Blue Potions and Strawberries may be used to quickly replenish a character's siphoned SP. However, those few, crucial seconds of attention spent on recovering SP may be enough for a Scholar to achieve victory in a PvP or WoE situation. Soul Siphon should be regarded as a supplementary distraction to set up for other tactics. It should not be relied upon as a complete, single disabling skill.
- Bolt-switching: Although Scholars can achieve high amounts of damage with Fire Bolts in conjunction with Fiber Lock, Volcano, and/or Stone Curse, they should not be limited to just one type of bolt. Constantly using Fire Bolt may make the Scholar predictable in PvP, and opponents may choose to counter with a Fire elemental armor. The Scholar can meta-counter this tactic by using a variety of different bolts during combat. If the opponent switches elemental armors in an attempt to counter all of the Scholar's bolts, the Scholar may choose to use mind-game strategies. One strategy to counter armor-switching is to begin casting a maxed level bolt, cast-canceling× the skill, then following up with a different bolt (preferably a low-level bolt for quick casting speed). Using
Siroma Card
s with Cold Bolt× can effectively counter an opponent who switches to a Fire elemental armor.
- Detection: When facing an opponent using the Hiding× or Cloaking× skill, it may be advantageous for the Scholar to use level 1 Heaven's Drive× instead of Sight×. Using Heaven's Drive allows the Scholar to reveal the opponent from a distance. The Scholar may follow up with an offensive attack immediately upon revealing the opponent. If the opponent continues to hide, the Scholar may repeatedly use Heaven's Drive to damage the opponent and discourage them from hiding.
- Defense: Standing inside both Safety Wall× and Blinding Mist× offers the Scholar a considerable amount of protection. Safety Wall completely protects the Scholar from many deadly short-range attacks, such as Guillotine Fist×, Sonic Blow× (amplified with Sonic Acceleration×, Enchant Deadly Poison×, and the Assassin Spirit×), High Speed Cart Ram×, and many others. Additionally, Blinding Mist offers a 75% chance for all target skills to miss completely, and all normal long-range attacks receive a 75% damage reduction and -50 HIT reduction when the Scholar stands inside Blinding Mist. Standing inside Safety Wall + Blinding Mist is often considered one of the best defensive postures in PvP and WoE scenarios.
Equipment
Since Scholars retain all of the roles of a Sage, their equipment is also similar to
Sage equipment.
Weapons
These weapons are very effective if refined up to +9 ~ +10
Shields
Accessories
