Storm spells are not and never were sch's main source of uniqueness, and it doesn't harm sch to lose thunderstorm as sch only, if anything it only serves to benefit other jobs.
Blms get a nice boost to thunder based spells, but they have comet and meteor which blast thunder based spells out the water so no loss there, rdm also gets a nice boost but they fill a completely different role to sch in a prty seeing as they are buffers/debuffers, you rarely see a rdm nuking over a sch or blm in a party, so again no loss there, smns get a perp decrease, completely different aspect of the spell to anything sch can use it for, absolutely no loss there.
Basically it gives a job that's more damaging in nuking anyway (as it should be cause its blm) a nice boost. Gives a job that's behind in nuking a boost (without putting it ahead). And gives a job that has no impact on sch a nice utility spell. It's stupid to leave thunderstorm out from /sch and it's stupid that sch's are so desperate for it to stay that way
