There's no reason to become antagonistic. Yes, losing AoE on SCH sucks and hopefully it won't hit them too hard, but AoE isn't essential. It does suck for playability though, as a large part of the fun with SCH was seeing what kinds of crazy numbers you could do in casual content, which - let's be realistic, is about 90% of the game sadly.

SCH actually doesn't have the best single target healing output, AST does. Lack of oGCDs hurts, which they're getting.

Lastly, WHM doesn't need more MP management. I won't turn my nose up at, it's something extra to use, but a WHM properly managing their current tools can stay net neutral in MP. I would suggest that the new damage utility SCH is receiving ensures they remain in the spotlight. As it stands now data mining is suggesting 15% crit for 15s, which is quite considerable if accurate. We'll need to wait and see, but I wouldn't debate the balance of anything currently because we won't know until we have final numbers.

It seems we're debating two different issues, I can understand SCH being peeved about what they're losing - hell, I can understand every Job being upset about certain losses. What's got me upset with WHM is just that I don't feel anything new or exciting is being brought to the table. I really like the new SCH abilities that have been announced, but I don't main it so maybe it just seems better from the outside looking in. I'll argue about balance until I'm blue in the face once I can do so with accurate information.

I can see where you're coming from with that. It's hard to say as it stands because Aetherflow is getting a passive which has the potential to lower the cooldown I believe (Unless I misunderstood that ability and it gives extra stacks, not sure) and it would certainly be a weird turn around if SCH was suddenly plagued by MP management.
