sch really has taken a bit of a backseat in the field of jobs. Lacks the harder cures and is behind on the nukes. Personally i am hoping to see at least comet on sch to be frank. Otherwise i am guessing it will fall even further from blm. Hopeing on cure 5 as well. if they will make sch overpowered or not really depends on how whm and blm turns out so hard to get into that kind of debate.

As for the mentioned manifesto. While they seemed interesting ideas (particularly the tp reduction) it seems way too insignificant when compared to how the rest of the game is played. It would requier a heavy tp reduction to make an impact with even 3 maybe even 2 melees fighting a mob alone. Here is hoping that the confusing paragraph is leaning towards a positive but hard to say by how it is worded.

I also agree, the last few lvls have been very disappointing. from my point of view sch just keep falling further behind. helices were bad before in most cases, then they destroyed the only saving grace form modes vertis, and now with harder enemies the dmg is even more worthless then before. The enmity spells are trash no matter how much i try to make use of them i still have trouble trying to match pace with a blm without dying while they simply shed all their hate in 1 JA. On top of that we get libra..why? so we know when we are about done being able to nuke i suppose? really isnt even worth it either cuz ull be walking into AoE range. To top it off our one strong area that we made some extra leg room (mp maintenance) has been made a joke. All jobs can get mnore refresh then us(see af3 bodies refresh) and all we get is a faster sublimation charge. With recent changes sch really has taken a hit, and notice i have yet to talk about inside abyssea where sch is seldom used.

...cutting my rant short here ...... i was really fond of sch and have not used it outside of keeping it's lvl up to date. Havnt even been able to wear my AF3 and it was one of the first ones i completed *sigh*

i know it is a hard job to balance being both an offensive and defensive job so here is to keeping my hopes up!

oh and to the above post i agree with 1 2 and 3
4 i dont think is needed, the spell isnt something anyone is going to rely on anyways, pretty meh spell but it gets me an extra refresh tic with that neck that converts tp to mp lol..point being however is that itll need to be much higher before it becomes something desired.
