SCH was op since 2.X, basically inception. The only reason it didn't feel OP is because it had been for two entire expansions. This is actually the first time SCH was removed from its godly and mandatory prestige pedestal.

SCH was never OP. Cleric Stance was just designed in such a way that the fairy was the best source of healing while in it. SCH has always had lower HPS. Now that Cleric Stance is effectively gone, the flexibility and strength of DPSing and Healing has now been given to everyone else and now it's become very obvious that SCH is, in fact, the weakest raw healer.

it's become very obvious that SCH is, in fact, the weakest raw healer.

Except it's only obvious now because they were significantly and drastically nerfed in many ways, including their effective healing efficiency. Like I said, they've literally just been brought down to normal.

Their healing never needed nerfs. They were never OP in this regard. They were only good because they had solid sustain heals with DoTs. This allowed them to achieve higher DPS because they could afford more time to do so. Coupled with the themepark ride that was Creator Savage, and there you go. Eos can solo heal 30% of the fight. What made SCH "OP" was never their raw healing, it was the sustained nature of it which is no longer something they dominate. Everyone can heal and DPS very easily now without having to waste GCDs dancing in Cleric Stance. It's because of Cleric Stance's changes that SCH is actually weak right now.
