Scholars are the transcendent version of Sages. Through rebirth Scholars gain class-defining SP manipulative skills such as Soul Exhale and Indulge. These two skills enable them to act as an endless source of SP, which makes them a preferred class for party play.

Their offensive power also gets a boost in the form of Double Bolt, Foresight and Fiber Lock, making one-hit kills for INT based builds a possibility.

Builds

Hindsight Scholar

  • STR: 1
  • AGI: 99+
  • VIT: 20-30
  • INT: 99+
  • DEX: 1-20
  • LUK: 1

Similar the Hindsight Sage build. However, a scholar is able to further enhance the hindsight efficiency by using the skill Double Bolt, vastly improving 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 and can deal good amounts of damage. Some builds will take VIT as well to increase HP, or DEX for casting time. Largely a PvM build, hindsights 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 relies on high INT, Foresight, Fiber Lock and Double Bolt to inflict massive damage on their foes. Optionally they can also render their opponents semi-useless with Soul Siphon.

VIT/DEX Support

  • STR: 1-40
  • AGI: 1
  • VIT: 80-100
  • INT: 1-40 (only 3x int is needed to have enough matk to FD/HD people)
  • 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 Hybrid Scholar

  • STR: 1-80
  • AGI: 70-110
  • VIT: 1-50
  • INT: 91-110
  • DEX: 1-75
  • LUK: 1

This build doesn't 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.

Applications

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, 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

Anything that doesn't massively stack MDEF or wears Fire Elemental armor, can be decimated by Stone Curse + double Fiber Lock + Double Bolt Fire Bolt combos. Apply Lex Aeterna or Stone Curse where necessary. And Soul Siphon still renders any foe semi-useless.
