Scholar receives several new traits on the way to level 100, enhancing some existing spells and abilities and providing some quality of life improvements.

Trait	Acquired	Effect
Enhanced Chain Stratagem	Lv.92	Grants Impact Imminent upon using Chain Stratagem, allowing the execution of Baneful Impaction. Duration: 30s
Enhanced Swiftcast	Lv.94	Reduces Swiftcast recast time from 60s to 40s.
Tactician's Mastery	Lv.94	Increases the potency of Biolysis's damage over time to 75 and Broil IV to 310.

Enhanced Recitation	Lv.98	Reduces Recitation recast time to 60 seconds.

Very little has changed about Scholar's opener or rotation except the addition of Baneful Impaction to every Chain Stratagem window. With raid buffs lasting longer, it is now also usually worth it to refresh Biolysis early as the last GCD under raid buffs.
