I mentioned Nyzul because on the Ragnarok sever many people wouldn't go without a RDM most of the time. WHMs were still useful and sought after, but some groups were more comfortable with just a RDM than with just a WHM. However, that was on a case by case basis.
Anyways, I agree with you about the Cure issue. Something needs to be done, but what exactly must be considered for current and future balance. It would be ridiculous for anything /WHM or /RDM to be able to access an almost equally potent Cure IV as RDM, SCH, and even PLD before gear. I entirely agree with you that Healing Magic Skill needs to have a stronger impact on Cure potency. That alone would make Cures more balanced across the mage jobs since WHM has the highest natural skill. I think I mentioned the same idea somewhere (could have been WHM forums), but currently Healing Magic is not as significant as MND after the soft cap is reached. However, they would have to make skill ups a bit easier (I've noticed some increase since the last update, but the frequency could still be better.)
Adjusting the Cure formula seems like the a decent way to boost Cures across all jobs without stepping on another job's toes. Overall though, SCH just needs something entirely unique that warrants utilizing them.
