Is that a SCH i see?

It wasn't pointless at all. I specialized as a damage-dealing SCH, and more often than not I was doing a lot more damage than the better geared black mages out there in raw nuking power, not to mention I was a helix fanatic and by the end of their duration, those helices equated to more than an ancient magic spell most times. And for only like, 79MP? something like that.

Why not boost BLM instead? The job was pointless because it added nothing new to the table. Not enough to justify a new Job anyway. Instead it stepped on another Job's toes.

Well, for me it was that SCH was much more versatile than a BLM role. Black Mages nuked and... that's as far as their capability goes. Maybe a few cures to help out in healing, but not very effective. SCH could enfeeble, heal, nuke, and use all of their spells in innovative ways with the fact that they could apply them to multiple mobs instead of one [i.e. graviga, bindga for added crowd control]. Oh, and lets not forget stormsurge which added +7 to your attributes as well as damage increase for magic attacks according to the element applied ^^b It did a lot more than just step on toes

All of SCH's "new" utilities (which were not that many and not that useful) could have been given to their respective jobs instead.

Only now is SCH starting to become slightly more diverse since they have a way to give party members regain.
