Are role actions a nerf?

[NessaWyvern]

Losing Aero and Blizzard 2 will be a mild DPS nerf for SCH as things stand. No stoneskin could be considered a nerf for AST in particular (I'll certainly miss it).

I suspect it's very quickly going to turn into a cookie cutter situation. I can see myself almost guaranteed to just roll with Prot/Lucid/DS/Esuna/E4E or Virus and maybe switching esuna out for cleric where it's relevant if I actually remember to (and then promptly getting someone killed because I forgot to switch back and couldn't dispel doom )

Losing Blizzard 2?! That's a huge pvp nerf to schs that they didn't need! (they are already the weakest healer in pvp) They will have no CCs that work in pvp now D: And to all healers in pvp in general! I use it a lot on my astro too! Whms in pvp would be even better than the other healers in pvp, as whm will still be able to bind, as well as sleep, and stun. Astro will only have stun, and sch will have nothing.
