SCH opinons on the change

[ZonHoodn]

I don't think this update addresses SCH's most glaring issues. If people thought SCH was bad before 4.05, then I don't see how any of these changes change that.

You want mitigation? Bring AST which has strong shields, that cost less mp and are instant.
You want buffs? Bring AST which has cards that buff DPS every 30 seconds. AST even has its own chain strategem now that lasts longer and could possibly be reapplied every 30 seconds.
You want healing power? Bring WHM or AST.
You want healer DPS? Bring WHM or AST.

There is absolutely no reason to bring a SCH.

And yet most progressing world groups will run SCH + WHM over AST combos... I wonder why that is. There is absolutely a reason to bring SCH, but the fact that you have completely dismissed their impact altogether shows how useless it is to argue with you.
