Started a new thread in the scholar forum specifically on the scholar changes, since there are so many.

Of course they don't say what the new blue magics *are* - but since they're in the autotranslator, it won't take long to figure out. Probably from WotG mobs.

The chance to resist damage from skill chains has been adjusted.

Cool. A much-awaited change, although (IMO) not enough by itself to overcome the melee-zerg dynamic.

"Brygid the Stylist Returns" quest is now available for dancers and scholars.

I wonder if they get a new piece, or one of the existing ones? The Glamour Jupon would fit SCH great; Duende Cotehardie wouldn't suck either. For DNC I guess Cerise Doublet, or maybe Rapparee Harness (they wouldn't benefit from the racc, but the haste would be very welcome).

The new summoner job ability “Elemental Siphon” has been introduced:
Elemental Siphon: Drains MP from your summoned spirit.
*Only effective on spirits summoned by the summoner.

Interesting. It could help pay the cost of keeping the spirit out - or you could just dismiss right after it and use the MP for an avatar or subjob spells instead.
