[...] Ruin iI is a much more comfortable spell to use at that point.

Speaking of weaving. While the fairy no longer having it's own seperated gcd is a valid thing to be bothered by. SCH still has some of the best options for weaving ogcds out of the three healers. They would only loose about 80 potency, and have a potency gain at 2+ mobs, to double weave their vast ogcd kit.

So while there are elements of it that will feel weaker. I cant help but feel positive about it since it still has the tools for it to fulfill the niche of the high uptime aggressive ogcd focused healer.

Ruin II still only worth it if you double weave. Still better to clip your broil III if you're single weaving. We also don't have much left in terms of actual weaving once you remove ED, SF, Cleric. End result will be that you will be clipping a lot and every now and then you'll double weave. The rest of the time you'll have blocky gameplay like WHM waiting for you GCD to get back after your bio.

It's astonishing that they would go back over something that flowed really well. I'm hoping we can convince them that ED has to come back in some form or another. We need a stack dump and another ogcd damage skill.

In fact they not only need to bring back ED and maybe SF, they should make AoW a DoT again because Holy = AoE+Stun, Gravity = ranged AoE, and AoW = Melee instant AoE? That's just no fun at all. It is not even engaging. Therefore AoW should be a DoT again like Miasma 2.
Then they have to bring back ED and SF and also Miasma as a castable DoT. SCH was so much fun to play and so unique. It was such a nuanced job and now they dump it down? For what? WHM do not even want that. They were not complaining about that but about Chainstrategam!
Why does SE not understand the Healer community?
SE has to bring back ED, SF, make AoW a DoT again and Miasma. All with different IDs if they want, if not, then just bring them back once and for all.

SE needs to get to know their own Healer playerbase and not ignore them. If they do not have a healer designer who plays healer and is motivated they need to get a new team or w/e.
If they go this way, they will just lose SCH players and maybe even more(AST for example).
