    That would mean that all AST should be glued to Noct Sect because 1 person was able to solo heal O4S and that all ASTs should be as good as that person. Yeah, that seems 100% fair and reasonable.

    Back in reality, we have issues because
    A) People are still learning the class. The changes in SB made SCH play completely differently than it was in HW so people are still getting used to the changes, which have been fairly jarring to say the least.
    B) Not everyone plays the same way. Bad Tanks that don't pop CDs, people that eat floor paint for breakfast, lunch and dinner, etc all mean that, even with SCH's more liberal use of Aetherflow abilities, you still only have 3 answers ever 45 seconds to those issues (outside Dissipation use). This is in the outright best case scenario if you haven't used skills like Bane or Miasma2+ED weaves to use up stacks prior to shit hitting the fan. SCH is discouraged to use their GCD abilities to heal because they cost an arm and a leg to do or are the lackluster heal of Physick.
    C) Fairy abilities are clunky. Even with macros, the fairy just absolutely insists on finishing whatever it is doing before doing as you command and it makes the job just that much more difficult to play perfectly because you have to account for the stupidity of its AI on top of mechanics.
