I think SCH is starting to flow into the same position WHM is in.

That is, a viable job but is not fun to play and feels weak in comparison to AST.
It really feels like when it came to WHM and SCH, they didn't look into anything fun to give them at all.

When an AST can sheild and mitigate better than you, heal for more than WHM, and offer it's own support... there's a huge problem.
