Hell, I think smn is pretty bad as well so its not like I can just switch to smn to avoid this nightmare. So it makes me think that there were two people working on arcanist and didn't even bother to share their notes.

But when it comes to sch, it is just rife with 'what the hell were you thinking'. Why would you lower our dps and then make our healing more expensive or less effective? What the hell did my poor fairies ever do to you, especially eos? If you're going to have ast out strip us in every way, could you at least give us back our dps and fairy capabilities? Like, I'd rather go play with the clunky whm mechanics than heal another dungeon with sch. At least they can heal AND have mp.

I realize we will not get anything fixed until 4.1, but could they at least give us an acknowledging post like they did whm?
It's because we didn't shout loudly enough.

Personally I wasn't nearly as concerned about SCH since I didn't know enough about the changes to be truly worried. WHM's Lily mechanic, on the other hand, was so terrible on paper as of the build that the media played that it sparked an immediate and strong response.

SCH playerbase pre-4.0 = sitting pretty, not too concerned since we've had it good since 2.x. 4.0 is a rude awakening.

WHM playerbase pre-4.0 = many players already experiencing disappointment and/or identity crisis and not seeing the solutions they hoped to see, thus the outcry.
