The person whose response you originally responded to was specifically saying SCH is bad right now, and I would say they are correct; it got nerfed in lots of directions at once which made what once worked really well less fun to play. I do think it will be fine with some remedial work as the core design is basically sound, but I'm not surprised if a lot of SCHs are on their SMNs at the moment.

I agree that WHM had been whittled down to barely any support pre-SB too, but making that even worse isn't a positive move. If I had plenty to do in between healing other than mashing Stone/Holy like it was going out of fashion I'd be a very happy person, but don't criticise people for focusing on DPSing when there's legitimately nothing else to do most of the time other than sleeping at the keyboard or fishing for lilies you don't really need. It's a design problem more than a player problem.
