Concerns about SCH.

[Aaralyn]

Please tell me you're trolling. Libra is the worst thing to happen to SCH since SE decided to release the job with an incomplete spell list. I don't even care if SE plans for Libra to make SCH shit friendship and magic in a few update, it was worthless when it was released, worthless when Animus spells were released and is probably only less worthless now because it's (apparently) attached to that horseshit !! proc system.



While I don't particularly have any issue with a buffed up Regen spell, I don't really see the point. Cure V is already there and shouldn't be too difficult to adjust, not to mention Cure IV is a subjob spell soon (or is it already?). Making a spell that heals 200HP/tic would however, require quite a bit of planning and balance. Again, Cure V is already there.
Breaking Rapture however, makes zero sense.



You'd compare Cure V having less hate gain than Cure III to Animus Minuo? You are aware Animus is only a pathetic -5 Enmity, right?



We can lock ourselves for ~1 second using a Stratagem to buff Cures (though I don't think Rapture + Cure V is a wise choice). We can use a Stratagem and cast Erase in what takes you one spell. We can cast vastly weaker Bar spells to WHM. We can again, use a Stratagem to cast Stoneskinga which is what you can do with a Cure spell. 1/tic regain is vastly weaker than Haste. Phalanx is good though, always fun to have to run right up to the mob to apply it to the people that need it and run back, makes main healing real easy.



Huh? MP management? Between Refresh II, Ballad III, a surplus of gear that enhances both, a surplus of new Refresh gear, and Convert or Sublimation (and Light Arts + Penury), WHM shouldn't have any major MP issues anymore.

It's all essentially the same thing.

I'm talking about the light arts side of it. Which, from my understanding, people /WHM for. So you would have haste and be able to give 1/tick regain.

I'm pretty sure SCH gets access to the same refresh gear WHM does, excluding Orison Bliuad +2. I don't know if SCH empyrean body has refresh. I know there's the WOTG earring, Wivre Hairpin is any job, pretty sure Stearc subligar was any job, Owleyes. Am I missing anything? Then if you're going to throw in Refresh II and ballads, same could be said of SCH. But in cases where there isn't refresh II or ballads, SCH has this refresh gear and a better sublimation.

People aren't going to care that WHM has better barspells. They didn't care before. They didn't care that we gave stoneskin (though not as strong as now) through curing before, either. They were both able to do the exact same job, though SCH managed MP better and was crowd control since /RDM was better then.

A HOT spell, I think would make SCH and WHM compliment each other nicely, with the right implementations.


"Phalanx is good though, always fun to have to run right up to the mob to apply it to the people that need it and run back, makes main healing real easy. "

And we don't have to do this for Esuna?

As far as Aminus Minuo, I'm sure you can find the right set of gear that has a good balance of cure potency, -enmity and MND. I know my friend had a good one. I'll have to ask her what it was. Or put one together myself. Aminus Minuo is 1 to 2 less slots taking -ENM in gear.

Breaking Rapture in a good way. Like, making the recast 3 minutes, or something that is nearly on the verge of being unbalanced.
