Now instead of being slightly OP they're more balanced and have 3 DPS card options. Win/Win imo.
I'm predicting, at least early on, that AST/SCH will be even more meta, due to Chain Strategem, Spear, and Critlo.
I'm not sure yet what to think about the Scholar changes, since my primary irritation (increased cost on Adloquium) has not changed. I did not expect the Indomitability buff (was actually expecting a nerf), which makes me even more nervous that there will be content requiring such massive AoE healing.
Excogitation has graduated from "what the hell is this" to "well, okay". Having its recharge be the same as its uptime might be nice? Would still be better if it went off at the end, regardless of whether the target's HP dropped below 50%, but that might be too overpowered.
Guaranteed recharge reduction of Aetherflow by five seconds every time we use an Aetherflow ability is pretty nice.
The reduction in MP cost of Esuna might actually be the change I'm happiest about. No longer do I have to go OOM in the first boss of Great Gubally Lubrally because the party just will not stop standing in bad.
EDIT: The Job Guide for Scholar has been updated.

That's pretty amazing.
