However, SCH actually had a slight gain in single target DPS. AoE DPS is another story, of course, which is basically non-existent and one of the heaviest nerfs the game has ever seen, but single target is going to see a slight potency increase from the potency-per-GCD average that SCH currently has in Heavensward. This is mostly due to Broil II's potency increment.

If taking Cleric Stance, those values should go up by around 3% every minute.
Unfortunately the Devs determined SMN AOE DPS needed nerfed and SCH was just the red headed stepchild that came along with it.
