By the way, isn't PvP all about adapting to the situation and come up with a strategy on the spot ...
Yep! Spot on.

Lots of fallacies are being thrown around in this thread:
1. Assumption that PvP was a core part of FFXIV design.
2. Assumption that PvP was designed around 1v1 combat/capabilities.
3. Assumption that SCH is anything other than a support class or should be played just like PvE.
4. Comparing FFXIV PvP with other games with different design.
5. Mistaking one's own position on the matter with the position of the entire community (grand hyperbole about the death of SCH or FFXIV PvP).

If a SCH could "handle" another DPS, why would anyone play anything other than SCH ? SCH should be with their party and nowhere else.

I doubt they'll touch Aura blast. Its one of the few skills that can break a healer turtle on a flag.
